Women and Children Last.

Charles R. Clark.

A detailed account of the loss by fire of the New Zealand bound emigrant ship Cospatrick. It was the worst ever such disaster; the elderly ship burned and sank in the South Atlantic in 1874. Nearly 500 people perished, but a very few survived in the one lifeboat that remained afloat. Former review copy.
