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.
The captain tells Holman he must find a Chinese replacement, so he chooses the simple but genial Po-han.
Stawski is almost beaten when the alarm sounds, forcing the crew to rush back to their boat, but Holman forces the ten count to finish.
