Title	Mooring place at the mission house in Mengkatip (see explanation on the rear of the mount).
Type of title	translation
Original caption	Anlegeplatz a.Missionshaus in Mengkatip (cf. Erklärung a.d. Rückseite).
Description	Annotation translation: "Looking north. You can see the little houses for bathing for the upper village of Mengkatip on the mooring places along the bank of the river. There is marshy land on both sides of the river. In the rainy season everything is under water for weeks at a time. Even the village street is knee-deep in the flood. You see the first hills three days' journey further on by motor boat. There is plenty of fish and there are many crocodiles here. There are also many mosquitos - it is impossible to be outside after sunset. In front of the bath houses you can see the missionaries' rowing boat. Young men who work in the missionaries' household are in the boat."; Annotation: "Blick nach Norden. Dem Flussufer entlang sieht man die Anlegeplätze mit den Badehäuschen des Oberdorfes von Mengkatip. Rechts & links vom Fluss ist Sumpfland. In der Regenzeit steht alles wochenlang unter Wasser, auch die Dorfstrasse ist knietief unter Wasser. Berge sieht man erst drei Tagreisen mit dem Motorboot weiter oben. Fische und Krokodile gibt es hier sehr viele. Wegen der vielen Moskitos kann man nach Sonnenuntergang nicht mehr draussen sein. Vor dem Badehäuschen sieht man das Ruderboot des Missionars. Im kleinen Boot rudern Hausjungen."; Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
