Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brighter South Africa, or Life at the Cape and Natal He made his way to London, finding that the home ward cargoes of his Indian Ships were mainly directed to the Thames. In 1872 he commenced his connec tion with the African trade. At that time the Union Steam Packet Company had a monopoly of the traffic with the Cape. In this attempt he was aided by the Cape merchants; and in January a small Steamer, the Ireland, was despatched to the Cape by the firm of which Mr. Donald Currie, as he then was, was the head. Now he has no less than fifteen magnificent steamers constantly ploughing the watery highway between London and the Cape, halting at Lisbon.
