As Childers's biographer Andrew Boyle noted: " For the next ten years Childers's book remained the most powerful contribution of any English writer to the debate on Britain's alleged military unpreparedness ".

Childers's state funeral in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, was attended by world leaders including the Earl Mountbatten of Burma ( representing Queen Elizabeth II ), the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and leader of the Opposition, and presidents and crowned heads of state from Europe and beyond.

It was strengthened by the prominent part he played in the events immediately preceding the fall of the Liberal government in 1885 ; and when Hugh Childers's budget resolutions were defeated by the Conservatives, aided by about half the Parnellites, Lord Randolph Churchill's admirers were justified in proclaiming him to have been the " organiser of victory ".

" Asgard " was Childers's last, and most famous, yacht: in June 1914 he used it to smuggle a cargo of 900 elderly but serviceable Mauser Model 1871 rifles and 29, 000 rounds of black powder cartridge ammunition to the Irish Volunteers movement at the fishing village of Howth, County Dublin ( later known as the " Howth gun-running ").

The unit set off for South Africa on 2 February 1900 and here Childers's sailing experience was useful: most of the new volunteers, and their officers, were seasick and it largely fell to him to care for the troop's thirty horses.

If Childers's support for Britain in the fight against Germany may have been in some doubt, when in mid-August 1914 he did once again volunteer, the grant of a reserve commission in the intelligence arm of the Royal Navy was entirely to be expected: Winston Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty, although hostile to spending money on armaments at the time The Riddle of the Sands was published, later gave the book the credit for persuading public opinion to fund vital measures against the German naval threat, and he was instrumental in securing Childers's recall.

A respite from Childers's military career was offered on 27 July 1917, when Sir Horace Plunkett asked that he be assigned to the secretariat of Prime Minister Lloyd George's Home Rule Convention initiative in Dublin Castle.

The raids were forestalled by the Armistice and Childers's last assignment was to provide an intelligence assessment of the effects of bombing raids in Belgium.

Childers's first published work seems to have been some light detective stories he contributed to the Cambridge Review while he was editor.

Childers's colleague Basil Williams was preparing a more formal book, The HAC in South Africa, which was intended to be the official history of the regiment's part in the campaign.

There has been much speculation about which of Childers's friends was the model for " Carruthers " in the novel and it seems that he is based not on Henry Childers but on yachting enthusiast Walter Runciman ; " Davies ", of course, is Childers himself.

Childers's neighbour, Leo Amery was editor of The Times ' History of the War in South Africa, and having already persuaded Basil Williams to write volume four of the work, he used this to persuade Childers to prepare volume five.

German Influence on British Cavalry ( 1911 ) was Childers's " intolerant " rejoinder to criticisms of War and the Arme Blanche made by Prussian general Friedrich von Bernhardi, writing in an unlikely alliance with British General French, who had commanded successful cavalry charges at Elandslaagte and Kimberley.

Childers's principal argument was an economic one: that an Irish parliament ( there would be no Westminster MPs ) would be responsible for making fiscal policy, to the benefit of the country, and would hold " dominion " status, in the same detached way in which the Dominion of Canada managed its affairs.

There was no single incident which was responsible for Childers's conversion from loyal supporter of the British Empire to extreme Irish nationalist: a nationalist so intemperate that his opposition to compromise is sometimes blamed for bringing about the Irish Civil War.

Childers's response to the Larne gun-running was to organise a symbolic arms purchase on behalf of the Irish Volunteers, known as the " Howth gun-running ".

Because the imminent declaration of war against Germany, just nine days away, was occupying all of Childers's attention, this ill-targeted official reaction did not, at the time, strengthen his nationalist resolve still further.

The author Frank O ' Connor was involved with Childers during the later part of the Civil war and gave a colourful picture of Childers's activities.

The hospitable Dr Osgood organised the rest of Childers's stay, with much time shared with Molly, and the pair were married at Boston's Trinity Church on 5 January 1904.

Over the next seven years they lived comfortably in their rented flat in Chelsea, supported by Childers's salary — he had received promotion to the position of parliamentary Clerk of Petitions in 1903 — his continuing writings and, not least, generous benefactions from Dr Osgood.

This profitable commission took up much of Childers's free time until publication in 1907.

On 12 July 1914 off the mouth of the River Scheldt the arms were transferred from a German tugboat to Childers's yacht Asgard and the Kelpie of Conor O ' Brien.

" Some Irish ( principally those against the treaty ) claimed Childers's execution was politically motivated revenge, an expedient method of halting the continuing flow of anti-British political texts for which Childers was widely credited.

He arrives to find that Davies has a small sailing boat ( the vessel was named Dulcibella, a reference to Childers's own sister of that name ), not the comfortable crewed yacht that he expected.

The novel contains many realistic details based on Childers's own sailing trips along the East Frisia coast and large parts of his logbook entries from an 1897 Baltic cruise " appear almost unedited in the book.
