The story

In 1926 China during its Warlord Era, Navy Machinist's Mate First Class Jake Holman transfers to the Yangtze River Patrol gunboat USS San Pablo as their new engineer. Almost immediately, he upsets the crew when he will not accept the coolies they use to do most of their duties. Instead, Holman takes personal responsibility of the engine room.
