Type of title	translation
Original caption	Eine 'Kanone' wie sie hier überall bei Festen u.s.w. gebraucht wird (Erklärg. cf. Rückseite [=annotations]).
Description	Annotation translation: "A canon like the ones used everywhere here during festivals and similar occasions. It consists of a coconut palm trunk which has been split open, hollowed out, put back together and bound up with wire. A small hole is bored at the bottom end and water and a few pieces of carbide are put into it. Once the gas has developed you put a piece of burning wood in the hole, and the canon goes off with a fearful noise."; Annotation: "Eine 'Kanone' wie sie hier überall bei Festen u.s.w. gebraucht wird. Sie besteht aus einem aufgeschlitzten & ausgehöhlten Kokospalmstamm, der wieder zusammengelegt & mit Draht umwickelt wurde. Am unteren Ende wird ein kleines Loch gebohrt, mit etwas Wasser & einigen Stückchen Karbid gefüllt. Nachdem sich das Gas entwickelt hat, hält man ein brennendes Stück Holz hin & sie geht mit fürchterlichem Krach los."; Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
