1971.0. "High Endeavours" by OTOOA::MOWBRAY (This isn't a job its an Adventure) Mon Nov 30 1992 14:09

    I am just about to finish a book called "High Endeavours" about Beryl
    and Miles Smeeton.  For those that have not read this book, you must do
    so ... 
    
    What an amazing couple they were ....
    
    I know that Beryl died in 1979 but it seems that Miles was still alive
    in 1991 when the book was written ... anyone know ?

    Just a postscript to my previous recommendation, I note in the latest
    issue of Cruising World that Miles Clark (the Author of High
    Endeavours) has died.  There is a brief tribute to him.
    
    I was a little startled, he was only 32 when he died.  I guess he must
    have been ill as there seemed no hint of accident in the article.  It
    is a loss as I had enjoyed his writing and he seems to have been quite
    an adventurous spirit.
