“The river here is very broad, but the channel for steamers is intricate, there being a reef of rocks running out from the Ava side. At this point the Burmese thought to stop our passage altogether, should we ever get so far, by sinking a line of steamers and other boats across the river; these can be seen in the distance…A passage was quickly found, and the fleet passed through without mishap. The two boats in the foreground to the right are Burmese river boats. The distant hills are the shan Hills; the position of Mandalay is, as near as possible, in the center of this picture.”
