CROUCH, Archer P. - On a Surf-Bound Coast; or, Cable-Laying in the African Tropics.
London, Sampson Low 1887. Octavo publishers illustrated cloth; xii,338pp and publisher's list. An excellent, bright and unopened copy. ¶ The first of two books recording the cable-laying expedition in the ships Dacia, Silvertown and Buccaneer down the west coast of Africa in 1885; this describing the start from England and finishing with departure from Accra. The rest of the journey was covered in ‘Glimpses of Feverland' (1889). Crouch was a cable engineer and this seems to be his first literary effort, but once started he didn't stop and published a number of novels and miscellaneous pieces over the next forty years.
