It is not clear when the Mortlock party called into Bali as there is no reference in Jack's diary to this visit. It is likely that their ship stopped there when travelling between Macassar and Surabaya. They filmed at this location and titled this section 'Bali the Isle of Enchantment'. Their film included ponies being bathed, village scenes, Lekong dance, Ardja dance, and cock fighting. This image from the film shows the Ardja dance.

Description

This lampshade is made from buffalo hide and incised with wayang (shadow puppet) figures. The coolurs and the geometric patterns are characteristically found on Javanese batik. These were made in Yogyakarta, the home of specialist craftsmen who made the leather wayang kulit puppets. It is likely that these shades were made for the Dutch colonists in Java.

Description

The Angel of Mercy and the screen which surrounded was erected by the British in as a memorial to the women and children killed at Cawnpore (Kanpur) by the forces of Nana Sahib, during the uprising in 1857.

 Stephen Heathorn notes this was  ‘a political statement about the British imperial presence.’

A hallowed shrine for the British, no Indian was ever allowed within the gothic screen.’ It was said that  ‘no European traveller passes the neighborhood of Cawnpore without making a pilgrimage to the solemn spot from which he looks back into that terrible past.’

Stephen Heathorn, ‘Angel of Empire: The Cawnpore Memorial Well as a British Site of Imperial Remembrance’, Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History, 8 (3) 2007.

Description

All these sites were connected to the uprising of 1857 and were memorialized by the British. At Flagstaff Tower, British women and children took shelter after rebellious sepoys (Indian soldiers) of the East India Company attacked Delhi. The British forces fought back and were victorious on June 7th 1857. The Mortlock party would have visited the cemetery there and the grave of Brigadier John Nicholson, who died in the battle. He was a veteran of British military campaigns of expansion into Afghanistan and the Punjab. In Victorian times he was seen as a great hero, ‘The Lion of Delhi’ and his life was referenced in  books such as Rudyard Kipling’s Kim and other books which Jack and Ranson had most probably read. More recently he has been seen as authoritarian, brutal and racist. William Dalrymple described him as ‘the great imperial psychopath.’ Dalrymple, William (2009), The Last Mughal, London, Bloomsbury, 307.

Description

This morning they visited a number of markets and bazaars and presumably made purchases such as the Hindu devotional posters. They saw major British institutions such as the grand Elphinstone College, founded in the 1830s, to teach the English language and the Arts Science and Literature of Europe to young Indian men. They also visited The Bombay Gymkhana, an exclusive British-only club, surrounded by a cricket field, tennis courts and various other sporting facilities for members. In the afternoon their visits included the Towers Of Silence, where the Parsi people left the bodies of their deceased, to be eaten by vultures.

Description

It is curious that the Mortlock tour film contains some challenging footage of the Wadala salt raids, which took place between April and June1930, months before the Mortlock party came to Mumbai. It is not clear how they obtained this footage, which shows ordinary citizens illegally collecting salt and also police, some on horseback pushing back the crowds and beating these protestors.

Between April and June 1930 Indian nationalist activists protesting the British government tax on salt raided the salt depots in Wadala, Mumbai. There were a few days when large crowds took the salt. June 1st was the biggest raid and up to 10,000 Satyagrahis (people who practised non-violent resistance) took part in the raid. The crowd broke through the police cordon, but were beaten back by police reinforcements. The police beat them with lathis.  A number were arrested, 105 were injured and 40 were in hospital.

‘The Wadala salt raids were an important landmark in the Civil Disobedience Movement in Maharashtra.’

Description

The Mortlock party were clearly impressed by the Gateway of India, a monumental arch built of the Mumbai waterfront in 1924. It commemorated the landing there of King George V and Queen Mary in December 1911 for their crowning as Emperor and Empress of India  at the grand Delhi Durbar of 1911. The arch was a landmark on the harbour and would have provided the Mortlock party with their last glimpse of India as they departed on the S.S.Narkunda.

The ‘S.S. Narkunda’ had been commissioned by P & O, and made its maiden voyage in March 1920. It was the largest P.& O. boat at the time. It was very luxurious. The grand First Class dining room on the S.S. Narkunda extended up 4 storeys and a different wine list was served at dinner each night. This vessel had two swimming pools, one indoors and the other on the deck. On board, Jack and Ranson met their aunt, Mrs. Adelaide Hawker of Bungaree station, Clare who was returning from Europe.

Description

Mortlock said he was happy to be back among white people.  For those passengers of Indian, Chinese etc backgrounds, who had been long resident in Australia, arrival at an Australian port meant having to go through the humiliating process of being mustered on deck with other ‘coloured’ passengers to have their identities checked. Thus Australian residents on the Narkunda, like Mahomed Din and Frank  Mohamed were checked against their Certificates Exempting the Dictation Test (CEDT).

Frank Mahomed was a hawker and storekeeper at Boomi in the Morree district (NSW). He had been in Australia, off and on, since 1894, but always had to go through numerous checks.
