Description
“… An accident to an emigrant’s cart. This cart contains all the belongings of the emigrating family, who are inside the matting cover trying to keep warm. A wheel has broken or come off in the deep snow. The drivers have taken the mules and ponies away to try & get another cart & two men of the family are standing cooking [apte?] things till the drivers’ return.” Exterior view of a covered wagon in the snow with a broken wheel. James Stobie and others come across a family in difficulty on the road to Ashiho, in northern Manchuria, in the winter of 1909. James Stobie (b.1869) was appointed to Manchuria in 1894 and served in the Ashiho station with his wife Katherine Kirk Paton. The Manchuria mission had progressed from Newchwang, a coastal Treaty Port in the south up to Ashiho in the far north since John Ross established the Scottish Presbyterian mission in Manchuria in 1872.
