The surveying voyages of John Lort Stokes on H.M.S. Beagle continued the work of Cook, Bligh and Flinders in mapping Australia's coastline. Conscientious and competent though occasionally foolish, Stokes explored Bass Strait, the Gulf of Carpentaria and much of northern and western Australia, encountering mangroves, mud, mosquitos and misery.

'A Merciful Journey' presents a vivid account of Hordern's life from a happy childhood growing up in Sydney during the Great Depression, to his years serving in the Royal Australian Navy from 1942 to 1947. Drawing on the letters and journals he wrote at the time, Hordern recounts his triumphs and disasters as a naval officer, detailing his rise from a young and callow sub-lieutenant to a lieutenant in command of his own ship. He recalls his hopes and fears, and, in the face of the horrors of war, reveals an enthusiasm for new experiences and a growing love of the sea.
