    The Overcrowded Iceberg

    Written by Morley Roberts

    Narrated by Cathy Dobson

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Morley Roberts (1857-1942) was an adventurer who worked on railways, cattle, and sheep ranches all over Africa and the Americas and still found time to write a large number of very varied novels and stories with a zest that only real-life experience can give.

    The Overcrowded Iceberg is the story of the argumentative crew of a fog-bound ship in the northern Atlantic, which eventually strikes an iceberg and sinks. The crew are able to take refuge on part of the iceberg which sank their vessel. But as the berg drifts south to warmer waters, the iceberg begins to melt.
