Sampan Pidgin: Being a History of the Shanghai Rowing Club, 1938

A rare copy of Nigel M. W. ‘Harris’s Sampan Pidgin: Being a History of the Shanghai Rowing Club, (Shanghai: The Mercantile Printing Co., 1938). The Book remarkably remained in the Shanghai Rowing Club during the period of the Japanese Occupation and was recovered by the author from the Club House in May, 1949, shortly before Communists troops entered Shanghai. Harris, as well as obviously a member of the rowing club, was an RAF Squadron Leader in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
