Admiralty Paper

The government asked many well-known authors, including Conrad, to write about the war effort. Conrad's experiences with the Royal Naval Reserve inspired "The Unlighted Coast" - originally known as the "Admiralty Paper", published posthumously in The Times 18th August 1925 and then this separately published edition, by Jerome Kern at Christmas 1925.
