MARE Zeitschrift der Meere

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:

• his book
• and photos
• the anniversary of his death
• and more
• and more
• and then some more.

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."
