Durban

An army of 3000 men was sent to D'Urban, and the few English settlers escaped with the utmost difficulty.

The D'Urban hospitals were full, but the number of deaths was not large, and as the cold season advanced sickness became less.

Accordingly, we presented ourselves at the D'Urban post-office a few minutes before noon and took our places in the post-cart.

Our last day, or rather half day, in D'Urban was very full of sightseeing and work.

Richard King, then living in a hut at D'Urban, volunteered to carry the despatches.
