Description: In the foreground on the rocky river bank are some clotheslines held up on sticks drying the clothes that were soaked in the accident. The missionaries are gathered in front of the damaged junk, which the trackers are maintaining. The exact location of the Bowles' junk accident is unknown; however, we do know it occurred in the region now flooded by the Three Gorges Dam.
