"A journey of 800 miles on a ship of this sort was not without danger. The China seas are generally rough, particularly at this time of year. As the captain was being paid by the day, he would certainly have earned more money by going to Yokohama. But the journey to Shanghai was already dangerour enough."

Imaginary Place of the Day:
Arabian Tunnel - an underwater passage connecting the Red Sea with the Mediterranean. It can only be travelled from the south to north due to the force of the currents.
