The Sand Pebbles
Engineer Jake Holman Originates aboard the gunboat U.S.S. San Pablo, assigned to patrol That a tributary of the Yangtze in the Midst of exploited and revolution-torn 1926 China. His iconoclasm and cynical character soon struggle with the"rice-bowl" system that runs the ship and also the uneasy symbiosis between Chinese and foreigner on the lake. Hostility towards the gunboat's presence reaches a climax when the boat has to crash through a river-boom and rescue missionaries up river.
