British journalist took time off to make an ocean passage delivering coal to the upper reaches of the Amazon. The book is an account of his voyage. His skills waxed and waned through the book but at his best the writing is reminiscent of Joseph Conrad in Heart of Darkness. Wonderful descriptive passages I still have a taste of in my memory.
