158 x 110 mm. Showing Alldridge lying rather precariously in a hammock slung beneath a pole carried by two bearers on a jungle track: 'The little hammock ... also has its advantages: you can see it from the tops of trees [unlike the covered four man hammock], orchids, birds, and so on; still it is extremely uncomfortable, as it fits you like a shroud. But in going under the sun, or in a very narrow path through dense and spinous vegetation, a loose country cloth is thrown across the pole and falls over your head, blocking out all view.

You, however, make up time; your two bearers are always on the trot, and even when changing, practised hands will not stop, but will somehow heave the pole on to the shoulders of the fresh men who are running beside them.' (Alldridge 1901, page 54).

The disadvantages of the hammock could also be more painful than mere discomfort: 'When travelling in the little hammock the occupant must be carefully on the look out if he would avoid the thorny vines which hang down from the high trees. I still remember one of these vines catching me in the left nostril, slitting it up and partially lifting me out of the hammock, and had my boys not instantly stopped, I might have been very seriously damaged. One cannot be too cautious when travelling through dense vegetation' (Alldridge 1901, page 55).
