Pushing off, Lumbo, Mozambique, 1918

“…I should add that we went boating & bathing & often got stuck & had to push off just so! (top left).”Portrait of three men on a sailing vessel pushing off the sand bank with oars. Lt. Irvine was on board the S.S. Salamis which was transporting troops to Portuguese East Africa and had stopped over at Lumbo. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in German East Africa and Portuguese East Africa with the Royal Army Medical Corps. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya.……在此补充说明：我们曾泛舟游赏、涉水沐浴，却屡次遭遇搁浅，只得凭借船桨将船只推离沙洲！（左上）。画面为三名男子在帆船上以船桨将船只推离沙洲的场景。欧文中尉当时正搭乘执行向葡属东非运送兵员任务的萨拉米斯号（S.S. Salamis）蒸汽船，并在隆博（Lumbo）港口停靠休整。❧ 该影像出自一本影集，记录了阿奇博尔德·克莱夫·欧文（Archibald Clive Irvine，1893-1974）随英国皇家陆军医疗兵团（Royal Army Medical Corps）在德属东非与葡属东非的战地服役经历。在此期间，他结识了约翰·W·阿瑟医生，这段交往后续促成了他在肯尼亚乔戈里亚（Chogoria）的传教工作。
