I clearly recall being on deck when the boat paused in the river to meet a small narrow launch. A few people were let off the launch to come up the boarding ladder. Then we went down river, never having reached the city.
Vague recollection - somewhere along the way there were typical Asiatic entrepreneurial sampans selling mangoes and bananas etc alongside the boat. Eagerly bought by former internees who had been starving.
