Bibliography
Old Conways have published an incredible number of books on a very wide range of subjects. I have added publisher,
ISBN etc. details and a copy of the front cover wherever I have been able to find them.
Masefield Books Featuring Conway/Old Conways
"The Bird of Dawning" features an OC as its leading character. "Cruiser" Trewsbury is the fictional Conway hero who gets away from a sinking sailing ship and who handles his small boat and its crew in an admirable manner.
"New Chum" see below is his autobiography of his time as a cadet.
"HMS Conway" is his history of the ship from 1859 to 1953
The UK
and US Editions of New Chum
Our thanks to
Dr. Philip Errington, who kindly provided a detailed coverage of the
three English editions of New Chum:
After the first
English edition in 1944 there was what may be considered a second English
edition in 1947. The text appears to follow the first English edition
setting until p.31 (the second leaf of the C gathering). It is here
that Masefield first provides additional text. Detailing waking up on
board ship for the first time, the text as present in the first English
edition reads:
"...everybody
was moving swiftly except H.B., who was one of the gods of that little
world, and could take his time. I put on trousers, shirt, socks and
shoes faster than ever in my life. My washing things were ready at my
side, when the sharp pipe and bark for Prayers went. The ship fell pretty
still, but not many prayed.?"
The second
English edition provides additional detail as Masefield adds to the
confusing procedures aboard ship not yet understood by him:
"...everybody
was moving swiftly except H.B., who was one of the gods of that little
world, and could take his time. After a blast on a pipe, someone shouted
something. Some men, already half-dressed, rushed along the deck, and
scattered to each port. They punched each port open with one swift thrust,
so that the cool sea air blew in. Then they scattered away. Their smartness
put a kind of life into me. I put on trousers, shirt, socks and shoes
faster than ever in my life. My washing things were ready at my side,
when the sharp pipe and bark for Prayers went. The ship fell pretty
still, but not many prayed.?"
This is one example
of the expanded text, requiring re-setting, hence the claim for this
edition to comprise a second edition, not merely a reprint (new impression).
The sales ledger preserved in the Heinemann Archive notes this volume
as a 'new edition'. An 'Epilogue' is printed here for the first time.
In 1949 (dated
1948), a third English edition was published. The text appears to follow
the setting present in the second English edition. In addition there
are the appendices which were printed for the first time.
I am currently
unsure how these English editions, published by Heinemann, relate to
American editions published by Macmillan.
