AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A US merchant's son sent to look after his father's tea interests ventures too far into the country's interior - trespassing on the territory of local merchants. He is sentenced to death as a spy and endures several days crossing a bamboo bridge above spikes, onto which prisoners are successively dropped through trapdoors ... He is finally released, the lesson taught. Well written. (PB)
