Joseph Conrad and Tilkhurst - In 1929 or 1930 I lodged, while doing vacation research at the British Museum, with a family which had known Joseph Conrad from 1885 to 1894–5. My principal informant, Captain Arthur Burroughs, later of Eider Dempsters, made his first voyage as an apprentice, at the age of 15, in the full-rigged ship 'Tilkhurst' (Messrs W. R. Price of Austin Friars), Captain Blake in command. Burroughs joined the ship at Penarth Dock on the 2 June 1885 and the ship sailed on 10th June with a cargo of coal for Singapore. [805]
