Wrecked On A Reef In The China Sea: Incidents Of Danger, Privation And Rescue is a non-fiction book written by Frederic Hinckley. The book tells the true story of a shipwreck in the China Sea and the harrowing experiences of the crew as they struggled to survive. The author, who was a member of the crew, recounts the events leading up to the wreck and the subsequent struggles for survival on a remote and uninhabited island.The book is divided into several chapters, each detailing a different aspect of the crew's ordeal. The first chapter provides background information on the ship and its crew, while subsequent chapters describe the wreck itself, the crew's attempts to salvage what they could from the ship, and their initial efforts to survive on the island.As the crew's situation becomes more desperate, the book details their struggles to find food and water, their attempts to build shelter, and their efforts to signal for help. The author also describes the psychological toll that the experience took on the crew, as they struggled to maintain hope and morale in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.Throughout the book, the author provides vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the island, as well as the many dangers that the crew faced, including storms, sharks, and poisonous snakes. He also recounts the various rescue attempts that were made, including the crew's eventual rescue by a passing ship.Overall, Wrecked On A Reef In The China Sea is a gripping and suspenseful account of survival in the face of extreme adversity. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the strength of the bonds that can form between people in times of crisis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
