MISS PAGE’S NOVELS

 

These are in request for translation into other languages. Before the war broke out a German publisher was in negotiation with the London publisher for the German rights of two of the novels, while “Paddy, the Next Best Thing,” is now being translated into Norwegian. The gifted authoress has also been approached regarding a French edition of “The Edge of the Beyond.”

 

DEATH OF MR. JACOBUS SMUTS

 

News comes from Malmesbury of the death of formerly M.L.A. for Malmesbury. The death took place at Riebeek West, and the funeral on the deceased gentleman’s farm, Klipfontein, in the Malmesbury Division. The late Mr. Smuts took a very prominent part in the social and political affairs of the Division, having been for many years a member of the Divisional Council and School Board, and Chairman of the Village Management Board of Riebeek West. Mr. Smuts was twice married. Much sympathy has been expressed for General Smuts and the other members of the family.

 

General P. G. Blignaut has died in the Potchefstroom district at 43 years of age. After the war he proceeded to Europe to consult specialists, and underwent four operations. He was a prominent sportsman in the early days, held some running championships, and in 1895 represented South Africa in England.

 

THE MAILS IN WAR-TIME

 

FINE WORK BY THE UNION-CASTLE COMPANY

 

DETAILS OF ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES

 

The coming of the world war has drawn our attention to many minor things in life. Wonderful achievements are being recorded daily, and one which must appeal to all South Africans is the regular manner in which the mails from the Cape have been received. The business of carrying the Royal mails could not be in better hands than those of the Union-Castle Company, but no one can realize the difficulty under which the Mail Company have been placed since war broke out. A large number of their fine fleet of steamers were taken over by the Government both at Home and in South Africa; but notwithstanding tremendous difficulties they have succeeded admirably. True it is that this week the mail has been somewhat delayed, but that is merely an exception. It may come as a surprise to many to know that last week the Rennie liner Ingoma brought the mails across, duly arriving at Southampton on Monday morning. No civilian passengers were carried, and the passengers on the other side who had booked by this trim little vessel were transferred to the Aeneas, one of the boats of the Blue Funnel Line, which arrived safely in England some ten days ago. The Rennie Line are this week again responsible for the mail, and the incoming steamer, the Inkonka, with cargo, is due at Southampton tomorrow morning, and doubtless letters will be awaiting South Africans at their breakfast tables on Monday morning. A number of inquiries have been made as to the non-arrival of letters from Natal this week. This is easily explained. The Ingoma left Cape Town on September 4, four days earlier than is usual for the mail-boat. As this was not generally known, letters posted at the ordinary time missed the steamer, and are due on Monday. The Union-Castle steamship Dover Castle is expected early in the coming week, while the Garth Castle is due on Wednesday.

 

The R.M.S. Balmoral Castle, which sailed for South Africa last Saturday from Southampton, took a full complement of passengers. Being one of the largest of the Company’s fine fleet, and a highly popular boat to boot, the Balmoral was in great demand for passages, and there were so many passengers traveling to Southampton to join her that the train from Waterloo on Saturday morning had to be duplicated. It was quite like old times to find the outgoing mail steamer sailing at ordinary schedule time from Southampton and the boat train leaving Waterloo at the usual hour, since sailings have been somewhat upset by the war and departures from Tilbury instead of Southampton have been fairly general since the outbreak of hostilities. The outgoing mail-boat today is the Llanstephan Castle, which also carries a large number of passengers. Those departing are requested to be at S. Pancras Station not later than 10:30, as the boat train leaves at that time for Tilbury Basin, where the ship will be ready to leave at about 2:30 this afternoon for South Africa.

 

The Briton is appointed to sail from London on Saturday next, and will load in the Tilbury Docks and take cargo for Cape Town, Algoa Bay, East London, and Natal. The Aros Castle will sail from the East India Dock Basin on the 22nd inst., taking cargo for Cape Town, Mossel Bay, Algoa Bay, East London, Natal, Delagoa Bay, Reunion, and Mauritius, via Ascension and St. Helena.

 

The Comrie Castle will sail from London on ? next, via Lisbon, Gibraltar, Marseilles, ?, for Port Said, Suez, Port Sudan, Aden, ? and South African ports, in place of the ? Castle. The Ellerman and Bucknall ? Company state that on the 13th of this month the Malatian will leave for Natal, and will take passengers to Cape Town. Sailings of the Blue Funnel Line continue, and the following boats are expected: Anchises November 19, Nestor December 11, and Ulysses January 15. The Aeneas, is due to leave England on the 12th inst. Messrs. Bullard King, and Co. report that boats are running to time, and business is proceeding smoothly. From this it will be seen that the lines are maintaining a good passenger and cargo service between Home ports and South Africa.

 

LATE MR. W. G. STEVENSON

 

The mail to hand this week brings fuller details of the death of Mr. W. G. Stevenson, acting chief passenger clerk in the Durban offices of the Union-Castle Company. It appears that Mr. Stevenson was living at the Waverley Hotel, and an Indian who took in his morning tea found Mr. Stevenson dead in bed. Mr. Stevenson had retired the previous evening, apparently in his usual health, and the only presumption is that one of the sudden heart attacks to which he was subject came on, and caused his death before he could get assistance.

 

EAST LONDON VERY BUSY

 

At East London recently there were no less than five steamers moored alongside the quays in the harbour, these being the British Crewe Hall, Umkusi, kathiawar, and Goorkha, and the Norwegian Losna. Of these the most interest centred in the Crewe Hall, which, while on her way from Australia with a cargo of flour, wheat, and general stuff, a good portion of which was for East London, put in at Delagoa Bay and after discharging some cargo at Durban duly arrived at East London. A Daily Dispatch man learnt that on the way round the Umkusi, a much smaller boat, was sighted steaming in the same direction. As the Umkusi is painted exactly the colour favoured by men-o’-war generally, there was quite a flutter caused to the crew of the Crewe Hall, who immediately began to speculate on the delights of a prison residence and a spare diet. There was an uncomfortable expectation that the next second would see a flash of fire and the sharp bang of a quick-firer summoning the vessel to surrender. The tension was cut short though when, by the aid of glasses, it was seen that the Umkusi had a funnel with coloured bands, and a more diligent and careful scrutiny disclosed her identity. In addition to her cargo proper the Crewe Hall has several consignments of very fine merino sheep and rams; one of the latter, the crew declared, was “more pugnacious than the German Emperor.” It was pleasant to see all the cranes busily at work and the gangs of labourers rapidly dealing with the cargoes being discharged. Most of the liners. Had the usual general cargo, but it seemed strange to see the Kathiawar landing truckload after truckload of bales from India, which on inspection proved to be “gunny bags” for South Africa to fill with grain, mealies, and other produce. The Norwegian boat was loaded exclusively with timber, of which she had a big deck load in addition to her holds being filled. It was noticed that the new slate colour with which the funnel of the Goorkha is now painted makes the stack practically invisible, and, barring her presence being betrayed by smoke, she should be impossible to locate even if only a few miles distant.

 

The Ellerman and Bucknall Steamship Company announce that the s.s. Malatian, for Natal, Delagoa Bay, and Geira, will be ready to receive water-borne goods on the 9th inst. Cargo may be sent down at once by land, and will be received up to, and including all day, the 13th inst. At the loading berth, South-West India Dock.

 

In connection with the joint service of the Clan, Ellerman, and Harrison Lines, the following special silings are announced: Clan Mactavish, for Cape Town, Mossel Bay, Algoa Bay, and East London, and Clan Macbride, for Natal, Delagoa Bay, and Mauritius, both leaving Glasgow on the 8th inst. And Birkenhead on the 14th inst.

 

UNION-CASTLE DIVIDEND

 

The Directors of the Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company, Limited, have declared an interim dividend for the half-year ended June 30 last at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum (free of income tax) on the ordinary stock.

 

A PLUCKY RESCUE

 

The East London tug Annie had an adventurous night recently. She was proceeding down coast with four lighters in tow, when she was overtaken by heavy weather. When south of Cape St. Francis, two of the lighters broke adrift in the darkness. The Annie towed the remaining lighters to the lee of the Cape, anchored them, and set off to search for the drifting craft, each of which had a crew on board. She arrived at Port Elizabeth, having been unsuccessful, and it was feared that the men were lost. Later, however, the Inkosi arrived in the bay with the craft in tow. She had picked them up when in sore straits and in circumstances of great difficulty.

 

GOODS IN ENEMY SHIPS

 

The Board of Trade, on the recommendations of the Committee on Diverted Cargoes, offer the following suggestions: (1) The Foreign Office has issued instructions to British Consuls to give all possible assistance to British owners of cargo in enemy ships. (2) In the case of the sale, or attempted sale, of the cargo by the master of the ship it may be open to the owner of the cargo to obtain redress by legal proceedings in the local courts, and the owner of the cargo should instruct local agents to take the necessary steps. (3) If the owner of the cargo desires to arrange for the delivery of the cargo itself, or of the proceeds, he should give a power of attorney to a local agent. (4) The Board of Trade have decided that payments may be made by British subjects to the agents of enemy shipowners for the purpose of obtaining possession of their cargoes in neutral ports.
