Jake Randolph in "Tiki Moon" Pt. 59
"And he did migrate from the Chicago area. You might check with the authorities there and see if there are any outstanding warrants on him before you set up a meeting," I said.
Harrigan shook his head, "I know how to do my job, Jake."
I smiled, "I know. Anyway, I'll see you in a few weeks."
I got up to leave and Harrigan quickly asked, "Wait, where are you going?"
"A cruise to the Orient. I leave on Monday."
Harrigan laughed loudly, "You just made my day, Randolph. I was always hoping you'd take a slow boat to China!"

I had to research the origin of that phrase, because I wasn't sure of the time period. A song with that title was written in the late 1940's, but apparently it started as a term in poker for someone who slowly and steadily lost their money during a poker session.

I know the song. My mum used to sing it as she played the piano (or Joanna as she called it!)
