Sketches in Formosa: a hazardous descent, 1890. 'Several of the Sketches made by Mr. E. Hornby Grimani during his residence at Takow, on the south-west coast of the island of Formosa, have appeared in our pages. They were mostly those of incidents observed in an excursion that he undertook, with two friends, on horseback, to the mountains in the interior, above the village of Bankimsing, where the Pepuhuans, the half-civilised natives under Chinese rule, dwell in the neighbourhood of a savage race of highlanders. The forest paths, rivers, sandbeds, and morasses made it difficult travelling; and one of our present Illustrations shows the party, with their Chinese baggage-coolies, struggling on the slippery descent of a steep bank, where horses and men could hardly keep their footing'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
