From this newspaper they chronicle local businesses, and fashionable events. "When the 1st Opium War breaks out their lives grow increasingly dangerous and diverse: Chase is involved as an interpreter becomes an unwilling witness to battle; O'Rourke (a river pirate) and Eastman (assessed with the recently developed daguerreotype) contest the most telling means of recording suffering." – from the front fold over panel blurb.
