Durban to Pietermaritzburg Diary From Wartime Telegraph Job
A correspondent, a former Sale youth now in the Telegraph Department at Pietermaritzburg, recounts a rough voyage to Durban, meals with high prices, and lodgings on the floor. He notes Durban sights, rickshaws, and Zulu drivers, plus regiments, transport, and war conditions. He observes hotel closures, guards, and constant troop arrivals, with mentions of Boer fighters, Parliament House hospital, and armored trains as the siege tightens. He comments on climate, building, and a wish to return home for Christmas in Victoria.
