Publisher's Synopsis
-THE WOMEN'S VOYAGE SERIES-
"The Lady and the Pirates. In the month of October, 1854, Miss Fanny Loviot, ayoung French lady, took a passage on board a Chilian
brig at Hong-Kong, bound for San Francisco, whither
she was proceeding to join a sister established in that
city. Adventurous and enterprising by nature, Miss
Loviot had joined with a fellow-countrywoman in some
commercial speculations which had taken her to China,
and detained her there some time; and her experiences
in that country are described by her in a narrative
of considerable interest. Her adventures on land,
however, are entirely thrown into the shade by her
account of the accidents of her voyage home, which,
strange and romantic as they are, are perfectly well
authenticated. The Temple Anecdotes. Enterprise and Adventure.
By Ralph and Chandos Temple. 1865"
