Setting sail for California to seek her fortune, young French woman Fanny Loviot has little idea of the adventures that lie in wait. After a business opportunity takes her to China, her appetite for excitement is saturated when the ship is attacked by Chinese pirates. Held hostage and kept alive only in expectation of a hefty ransom, Fanny almost gives up hope . . . A brief introduction by Margarette Lincoln, Deputy Director of the National Maritime Museum, provides historical context for this reprint of a long-neglected true-life adventure.
