These is the story of the Formosa Straits—better known as Blood Alley—and of a Yankee skipper tough enough to thumb his nose at all the might of Red China. Single-handedly, on an old stolen ferryboat, he evacuates an entire Chinese village from behind the bamboo curtain and leads them—men, women, children, goats, pigs and ancestral gods—on a daring exodus to freedom—down Blood Alley, where the sharks beneath the waters are less numerous and less ferocious than the Reds who range the surface. |
