Ill people hope to be treated by the physician of SMS Kaiser Franz Josef I, waiting in their boats by the cruiser at Geomundo. “There were a host of sampans thronging around the ship’s ladder, jampacked with people in white clothes and top hats who were looking for the ship’s doctor...So I descended, with my instruments and bandages, into the sampans, where there was barely any room left to move around, with so many people standing and sitting” (Bozóky 1911, I. 524).
