THE
BLACK PIT...AND BEYOND
by Gordon
Mumford
A first-hand account of
the experiences of a seventeen-year-old merchant navy radio officer
during the Second World War. The infamous "black pit" is an
area in the Atlantic ocean where the German u-boats were able to operate
freely on the surface without fear of attack from the air. Mumford's
ship, the Scottish Heather, entered the black pit in December of
1942. The ship was torpedoed, and Gordon put out to sea in a lifeboat.
Thus begins a fascinating narrative, ending with Gordon's rite of
passage into manhood.
