Drama at sea during…

1 p. carbon copy of war time communication, with penciled corrections and annotations, which begins…

Received orders by radio from Commodore to …change course by wheeling without further orders.… On March 18, at 2315, as we were following in the wake of #102, steering at 009° - 56 revolutions, sighted a stern light on the starboard bow which appeared to be steering the new course of 086° and assumed it to be our column leader #101. We gradually changed our course to 084° and at 2330 we were already on that course. We had our side lights and stern light on full brilliancy and sounded one blast on the whistle at frequent intervals. At 2342 sighted a stern light and a green light about four points on our bow that seem to come closer and right wheel was ordered and executed. At 2343 we could make out the shape of a ship coming at us sounding two blasts on his whistle and steering approximately 140°. As a collision looked imminent, hard right wheel was ordered and executed. At 2345, as a ship was swinging rapidly to starboard, our stem struck a ship between the bow and the bridge. We immediately sounded the general alarm and ordered engine full astern. …

Final line: Sent message to the Commodore informing him about the collision.

An artifact, a single leaf, to survive the war, providing the slightest glimpse of protocols and administrative procedures. Creases show that the piece of paper was repeatedly folded till little more than the size of a pack of gum, and, for whatever reason, saved. Condition is very good.

William Blackwood. Edinburgh and London. 1906. Second edition (same year as the first). 8vo. xiv, 511pp. Frontis., 23 plates, 4 maps and plans, two folding in rear pocket. Original cloth, gilt. Faded and rubbed to spine. Hinges tender. Toned, with some spotting. Endpapers browned. Neat inscription to ffep.
Ellis Ashmead Bartlett (1881 - 1931) War correspondent. "I joined the Third Army at the commencement of August 1904, just before the first assault, remained attached to General Nogis headquarters until January 17, 1905, and entered the fortress with the victorious Japanese - one of my chief objects to place on record the obsolete method of fighting which characterised the siege - how men meet in masses to settle the disputes of their governments with bayonet, clubbed rifle and hand-grenade".
August 4, 1904 - January 2, 1905, the siege of Port Arthur on the Liaodong Peninsular of Manchuria was the longest battle of the Russo-Japanese War.

Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows…) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions… Read More
