Photograph taken by Gertrude Bell in Malaysia, March 1903

Description

Loading bullocks onto 'Pin Seng,' "I think we should have thrown ourselves into the oily sea if there had been another 24 hours in prospect on the Pin Seng. Our only consolation was the reflection that travelling on the ark must have been very similar. We had a cargo of 24 buffaloes, 6 bullocks, innumerable hens and a quantity of dirty little dogs kept by the Captain for his diversion".
