DescriptionNewspaper clipping in Dutch relating to Oskar Speck's attack in Lakor and Oskar's movements following treatment in Kupang. The article reads in part: "As already known, this was follow-up treatment; after the event, Mr Speck was sent to Java with the help of the Resident [Dutch Governor] of Ambon. He returned almost completely recovered. On 17 June he will depart for Kisar on the SS Valentine, to then travel on to Saumlaki (Tanimbar Island) on the Ambon line of KPM [Royal Packet Service Company]. His new canoe awaits him there to travel the last part -approximately 300 kilometres - of his brave and adventurous undertaking.."
