Sample Book Insights:
#1 In June 1915, Dr. H. M. Hanschell was asked to go to the Admiralty and see Commander Spicer-Simson. He knew Spicer well, and he was a Naval Officer who was extremely devoted to his career. He was extremely disappointed when he was passed over for younger men.
#2 The Doctor was assigned to the Admiralty in August 1914. He had just been promoted to Senior Naval Officer of the Downs Boarding Flotilla, which consisted of two gunboats and six boarding tugs based at Ramsgate. He had finally gained a respectable position. But a mischievous fortune seemed determined to invest everything he did with a faint tinge of absurdity.
#3 The significance of Lake Tanganyika was that it formed the boundary between the Belgian Congo and German East Africa. It was dominated by a German gunboat, the Hedwig von Wissmann, and no Allied vessel could be brought against her because the only completed railway to the Lake was in German territory.
