The Sand Pebbles
Engineer Jake Holman arrives aboard the gunboat U.S.S. San Pablo, Delegated to patrol a tributary of the Yangtze in the middle of exploited and Also revolution-torn 1926 China. His iconoclasm and cynical character soon struggle with the"rice-bowl" system that runs the boat and also the uneasy symbiosis between Chinese and foreigner on the river. Hostility to the gunboat's presence reaches a climax once the ship must wreck through a river-boom and rescue missionaries upriver.
