Willmotts Crossing River on Plank

Title: Willmotts Crossing River on Plank
Caption: trip to Omei 1943-China-0022
Identifier: WFC_008
Description: Katharine ("Kay") Willmott disembarks from her huagar to cross a bubbling stream on a narrow wooden plank. The carriers are crossing with the empty huagar as Earl stands by.
Commentary: The date in the caption/file name is confusing. If this were taken in sequence with "Dick Willmott en Route to Faerymorn" it would be 1935. There are photos of Margaret Outerbridge and friends wearing the wide brimmed hats labeled 1939. The caption says 1943. I've assigned the widest date range, but I suspect it's on the same 1935 trip as the image depicting Dick.
