Description
Annotation translation: "Commentary to B.480. On treck with carriers. (Mrs Zimmer on the left). You have to go on foot if you want to leave Liang Njaling on the upper Tohop and go inland. The jungle is 60m high. The carriers have eating equipment and food and what is still more important, something to sleep on. You feel at home and safe under a mosquito net in the jungle. You make good friends with your carriers. And they help the missionary to make contact with the jungle dwellers faster than he would have done if left to himself." Annotation: "Erklärung zu B.480: Auf der Reise mit Trägern. (Links Frau Miss. Zimmer). Von Liang Njaling im oberen Tohop aus geht es zu Fuss weiter in's Inland, durch 60m hohen Urwald. Die Träger tragen die Essgeschirre mit dem Proviant & was wichtiger ist, die Schlafgelegenheit. Unter seinem Moskitovorhang fühlt man sich auch im Urwald daheim & geborgen. Mit den Trägern wird man gut befreundet, sie helfen den Missionaren den Kontakt mit den Urwaldbewohnern schneller zu erhalten." Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
