The Harlech Castle, which sailed from Southampton for the Cape on Saturday last, had on board about fifty troopers of Dr. Jameson’s column, who were brought over to this country on that vessel after the Transvaal raid. The men understood that their destination was Buluwayo.
The steamer Argo, which arrived at Algoa Bay the other day from Antwerp, with a cargo of material for the extension of the Mafeking line, is the first of several steamers which will take similar cargoes to that port. Within the next two months upwards of 16,000 tons of railway material are to be landed there, an altogether about 100,000 tons will be taken out in connection with the extension to Buluwayo.
A TALE OF THE SEA
For twenty-seven years a bottle has been drifting about the ocean currents. It floated up at Port Elizabeth the other day, and when opened was found to contain this message: “January 2, 1869 – We are in a gale of wind and snowstorm. We are sinking. Our vessel is the schooner Harriet, bound to North Sydney from Portland, consigned to John Moore – (Signed) Captain William Lewis” The Harriet, it appears, sailed on New Year’s Day, 1869, and was never afterwards heard of. She was loaded with flour, and a brother of Mr. Moore, the consignee, was one of her crew of five hands. Mr. Moore was then a leading merchant in North Sydney.
