Four Chinese boats are on at a narrow passage of the Ing Tai River. One boat is being pulled up the rapids while the other three sit idling. Written on the back of this photograph: "Ing Hok [Ing Tai] River sampans. The man on the group of boats unite [illegible] the boats up one at a time. The one in the rapids is being pulled up and these are waiting their turn. Ned. Ing Hok. 1914." This photo is from the papers of the Edward Huntington Smith family, missionaries serving the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in China, 1901-1950, primarily in Ing Tai and Foochow [Fuzhou].
