*Fiction: [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uc1.$b63985?urlappend=%3Bseq=7 ''Yangtze Skipper''], by Thomas Woodrooffe 1937. HathiTrust Digital Library. Set in 1919 [[Shanghai]], Toby Warren is First Lieutenant on the "Beetle", a (fictious) Royal Navy river gunboat. The author served on HMS "Scarab" (river gunboat) in 1919-1920, so it appears very possible the book is a realistic depiction.: Note, this title may be the American title. Appears as it appears to be the same book as ''River of Golden Sand'' by Thomas Woodrooffe.
