Summary
Pathe Intertitles - "The broad, swift river, sweepings its crude craft through jungle and swamp -"
"Whilst the men wash, row and look after things generally. Eve, too, attends to her tasks -"
"No jobs for unsteady nerves here - the river is beginning to get fresher -"
"Sweeping, struggling along, nearing the great menace of the barriers -"
"Harder and harder the going - and no time to trifle with any vulgar boat song."
"And at last - calm waters and a peaceful journey in front of us."
