One justice concurred on the main point at issue, namely, that there appeared to be "sufficient proof in the present case of an honest intention to pass a bond at Algoa Bay not to take the goods to Delagoa Bay except with the permission of the proper authorities.... The presumption of an intention of trading with the enemy, arising from the fact that the ship was carrying enemy's goods consigned to Delagoa Bay and destined for the enemy's country, is entirely rebutted by the conduct of all the parties interested in the ship.
Her Majesty's steamer Birkenhead was on her passage from Simon's Bay to Algoa Bay, with 630 souls on board, consisting of the ship's company, drafts from several regiments, and boys, women, and children. At about ten minutes past two a.m., the weather being fine, with a heavy swell on shore, she struck.
"Where are you going just now, Ruyter?" asked Considine, feeling that it was best to change the subject just then. "Go for inspan de waggin. Ordered down to Algoa Bay for bring up de white men." "Then we shall probably meet on the road," said Considine, "for I am going to the same place." As he spoke, they came to a point where the road forked.
The vessels which lay at anchor in Algoa Bay had just arrived from England, with a numerous collection of emigrants, who, to improve their fortunes, had left their native land to settle in this country. Many had landed, but the greater proportion were still on board of the vessels.
"Go on for another hour, and the men can thus examine the traces and the wagons by daylight, and then, when we stop, we can remedy any defects." "Be it so; there is a house, is there not, on the rising ground, as far as you can see?" "Yes, I think so," replied the Major. "I know it very well," said Swinton; "it is the farm of a Dutch boor, Milius, whom we saw at Algoa Bay.
Their stores, horses, and dogs, not forgetting Begum the baboon, were all embarked, and, taking leave of Mr Fairburn and the governor, Alexander, Major Henderson, and Mr Swinton embarked, and on the evening of the fourth day found themselves safe at anchor in company with ten or twelve vessels which were lying in Algoa Bay.
Confusion and delays, long waits at sea, international complications, the whole world excited over the old Tryapsic and her cargo of contraband, and then on to Japan and the naval port of Sassebo. Back to Australia, another time charter and general merchandise picked up at Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, and carried on to Mauritius, Lourenco Marques, Durban, Algoa Bay, and Cape Town.
After various cruises along the coast, and as far as Algoa Bay, they at last captured a slaver. April 12. At daybreak the look-out at the topmast-head perceived a vessel on the lee quarter, at such a distance as to be scarcely visible; but her locality being pronounced "very suspicious," the order was given to bear up for her.
On the 10th of April they landed at Cape Town, and six weeks later embarked in a small coasting vessel for Algoa Bay. At Bethelsdorp, a village a few miles beyond Port Elizabeth, they rejoined Messrs.
I have ordered your letters to the authorities to be made out, and you will have the governor's signature to them. When do you propose to, start?" "We shall be ready in a few days, and have only to find a vessel going to Algoa Bay." "You will be asked to take charge of several articles which are to be sent to the missionary station which you will pass on your way. I presume you have no objection?"
