| Summary: |
B&W photographic print. 'The expedition had halted beside the Yangman River for the nights of the 14 and 15 April to allow much needed time for rest, washing, and the drying out clothes and equipment. Up to now the weather had been exceptionally wet; everyone was continually soaked, and as a result there were several cases of illness. While at this camp, sepoys and Nagas fished, while Hutton caught up with official correspondence which had been brought in by runner. There was no respite from office work even while on tour.' |
