Added DiffLines:

* CrapsackWorld: 1926 China is not a happy place, and ''San Pablo'''s patrol route is shown to be a particularly benighted stretch of territory. None of the characters with any aspirations of improving their station or the world around them -- Jameson, Shirley, Po-han, Maily and Frenchie -- get anywhere close to achieving their goals, with some of them meeting quite sad ends indeed.
