"Holzbrücke über den Mbaka-Fluss in den Bergen. Von der Regierung gebaut." ("Wooden bridge across the Mbaka River in the mountains. Built on behalf of the government."). A wooden bridge with stone fortifications leading over a river with rocky banks. Three people are standing on the other side of the bridge watching a man down by the river who seems to smack cloth against a rock in the water. Thick brushwood edges the opposite river bank. Adolf Ferdinand Stolz (1871-1917) was a mission trader of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine in Ipanya from 1898 to 1902 and in Kyimbila from 1903 to 1914. He was responsible for the plantations in Kyimbila and Rutenganio. In 1898 he married Helene Elisabeth, née Kootz (1872-1899) , in 1903 Anna, née Schulze.
