Description: Looking across the front of a houseboat, the photographer captures two crew members on the deck looking over a placid river to another houseboat is making its way through the gorges.

If it is 1911-01-02, then the Johns' would be heading upstream for the first time and the Abrey's would be aboard the companion boat to the Johns'. If Dr. Charles Service and his wife were passengers, then it would be late 1911 or early 1912 when the missionaries were evacuating on the way downstream toward Shanghai and safety from the Nationalist Revolution.
