I am an occasional reader of MARE Zeitschrift der Meere which is all about oceans and seas. I suggested to its chief editor Karl Sturzem a few stories for publication:
- My friend Horst Berger's life on an island in Tonga
- About Joe Altenhein and his Villa Mamana
- German Harry who was really a Dane
- Gösta Brand who lived on Packe Island in the Torres Strait
- Oskar Speck who paddled from Germany to Australia
- Dave Glasheen on Restoration Island
- The Story of the Frenchman Narcisse Pelletier
- The Hepworth family on Pigeon Island
And, of course, my favourite, the story of Tom Neale on Suwarrov:
He wrote back: "Many thanks for your interesting suggestions. I will take some time to study them before presenting them to our next editorial meeting at the end of January. Please be patient until then."
