Shark Tooth Rosary, A Sea Story: Sailing Adventures Aboard Battleships at Sea and in Ports of Call Around the World (The Sea Adventure Collection Book 3)
Christopher Marlow spends his free time in the ship's library flipping through a book entitled The Geography of the Philippines. The glossy pictures of tropical beaches, rice paddies and erupting volcanoes makes him daydream about taking a grand adventure when his ship reaches it's next port of call, Subic Bay, in the Republic of the Philippines. When the ship finally drops anchor, he heads for the bus station, determined to discover the mysteries of the Orient for himself. There's only one small problem . . . in order to get to the bus station, he has to walk past a mile-long stip of bars and cathouses. This is one of the short stories in The Sea Adventure Collection, by Malcolm Torres. These stories are often free on Amazon, and they can be read in any order.
