Gongs Greet the Empress Party on a Shanghai Passage
On the Empress of India voyage to Hong Kong and Shanghai, Wang Foo explains Chinese brass gongs drive away evil spirits at processions. The party learns about funeral and wedding gongs, sam pan boats, and the cultural contrast with Japanese traditions while solving a mystery surrounding a Fei Lung accident. The tale ends with Wang Foo aiding authorities and a romantic union between Miss Merrill and Secretary Rockford in Hong Kong.
