Description
Picture shows the missionary ground gathered around the items they salvaged from the wreck, such as straw, crates, a dresser, some picture frames, and an assortment of books and papers strewn across the ground. The clothes are drying on lines in the background, and far in the back is a forest. 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.
