DJ and boards show light shelf wear, 3/4" tear at bottom front of DJ, light edge; A bright, solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector.; Large 8vo 9"-10" tall; 329 pages; "The U.S. Navy's patrol of the Yangtze River began in 1854 when the USS Susquehanna was sent to China to safeguard increasing American commerce in the region. As Kemp Tolley explains in this entertaining history of the patrol in which he was to later serve, the presence of gunboats along the river greatly benefited the integrity of the shoreline factories. Tolley was a young naval officer in the 1930s when assigned gunboat duty, first in the Mindanao, then in the Tutuila, and finally the Wake in August 1941. His colorful description of life as a "river rat" is filled with anecdotes about the resourceful and high-spirited sailors who manned the old riverboats in that distant land."

The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and Tolley, and the Lanikai, was assigned to the Inshore Patrol. In 1992, he was inducted into the Defense Attache Hall of Fame in Washington.
