SS Catalonia, '200 miles off Durban'. An uneventful voyage. His fellow passengers: he does not get on with one of them, a civil surgeon and a Cambridge man! Hot days and nights. A glimpse of the Maldives and of Madagascar. Sightings of frigate birds. Some Boers are on board, to be returned to their homes on compassionate grounds. With a PS dated Durban, 15 Feb. A huge pile of letters awaited him on going ashore.
