No, Ransome prepared detailed notes of his second cruise and his third but never got round to writing up either. Then when Adlard Coles wrote his book about his own voyage in Racundra (disguised at Ransome's insistance as 'Annette') from the Baltic to England that book became unofficially known amongst Ransome enthusiasts as 'Racundra's Second Cruise' though it descibed what was the really the fourth! When Brian Hammett called his book 'Racundra's Third Cruise' the title was correct chronologicaly although the voyage takes place before voyage described 'Racundra's Second Cruise'.
