Slocum delivers an Erickson destroyer (steam powered warship) from the
builder to Brazil (the buyer). While en-route there is a coup and the
new government is not so sure it wants it. During the voyage a British
naval officer who was among the officers on the crew drew critizism
from Slocum when he wrote this book. Slocum was sued for liabel. In
subsequent writings he was careful to couch any criticism in positive
enough terms so as to avoid liable.
