AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Captain's reminiscence of a 'lucky' ship in the China trade in the 1860s. Protected by a Chinese luck taper and altar the ship survives many tight corners and sinks only when the captain mistakenly blows it out. He comes to think the ship's lucky reputation caused more foolhardiness than necessary, and quarrels with his former friend, a Chinese merchant, over its efficacy. Well written and paced. (PB)
