Title	Watchtower on the East River.
Type of title	translation
Original caption	Wachturm am Ostfluss.
Description	Annotation translation: At intervals of about one hour stand watchtowers on the East River all the way from Canton to Laulung, each occupied by military guards. "During the revolution every one of these watchtowers was burned out and they now stand empty - but that means that bandits are now the lords of the river again."; Annotation: "In Abständen von je 1 Stunde standen am Ostfluss von Canton bis Laulung solche Türme, jeder mit einer militärischen Wache besetzt. Bei der Revolution wurden sämtliche Türme ausgebrannt & stehen seitdem leer, damit sind aber die Räuber heute wieder die Herren des Flusses."
