Set against the backdrop of early December in a time of war with China, the narrative follows H.M.S. Perseus as it patrols the Canton River. The ship and its crew engage in skirmishes with enemy junks and confront piratical boats exploiting the chaos. As tensions rise and a stronger naval force is anticipated, the story captures the challenges and dangers faced by the crew in their mission to uphold the treaty and restore order amidst the turmoil.
