Description
The scene shows a group of trackers on the Upper Yangtze River pulling a boat that it out of the frame to the left. Supervisors look in that direction to oversee its progress. The trackers are bent over at right angles under the weight of the boat. In the background can be seen three or four members of Alice Estabrook's WMS party, with what look like baggage, on the shore.
