Excerpt from Three Weeks in South Africa: A Diary Mr. Martin introduced me to Mr. Webster, our Captain, and his daughter, a well-favoured young lady, and to some of our fellow-passengers among others to Sir William Fairfax who is an annual Visitor to the Cape, and to Mr. Cooper, the editor of the Scotsman, who is taking his first holiday after three years of in cessant work. I was already acquainted with Mr. John Redmond. With the two last-named gentlemen there will probably be some political talk.
