Old Singapore! : Beachcombers

A penniless American traveller lands a gig as the ragtime pianist of a waterfront saloon and begins a journey filled with drunken sailors, bar fights and late-night chop-suey suppers.

These memoirs of travellers and residents include extracts from
the following classic volumes:

• A Visit to the Indian Archipelago by Henry Keppel
• Our Tropical Possessions in Malayan India by John Cameron
• The Golden Chersonese by Isabella L Bird
• A Beachcomber in the Orient by Harry L Foster
• Eastern Journey by John H MacCallum Scott
