	I sailed with Chinese Pirates by Aleko E. Lilius: extract for Arthur Ransome Literary Pages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Something to bear in mind is that Lai Choi San was not the only real-life female Chinese pirate of note.
		For example there was in the early 19th Century the notorious Cheng I Sao ('Wife of Cheng I") who commanded a pirate federation that terrorised the South China coast.
		Whatever Lilius's influence may have been on Ransome, his account was evidently a hit with Milton Caniff, the author of Terry and the Pirates, a popular comic strip of the 1930's, who used a glamourised version of Lai Choi San, The Dragon Lady, as one of his main villains.
