A group of men are carrying a woman across a swift river in a litter. Two men are in the distance, one helping to keep the other from being swept away by the currents. The back of the postcard is blank and contains information about the misison agency and a caption about the church: "Universities' Mission to Central Africa, 9. Dartmouth Street, Westminster.- Crossing a river, N. Rhodesia [Zimbabwe] (Diocese of Northern Rhodesia). On the left a lady is being carried across the river in a hammock, and on the right one of the porters in danger of being swept away by the rapids, is being helped by a comrade."
