Hi all, I've just come across a poem by T. H. NORRIS, in the 1900 Gazette, about his trip to South Africa on board the Kent. Too long to type in an email - it's 9 stanzas - but I've scanned it if anyone is interested. Cheers, Maureen Names mentioned in the poem :- "Bumper" EASBY EASTBY GILL Sandy GREEN MOUND (from Botany) POOLE TIMMINS Sergeant WALPOLE
