Durban, the capital of Natal, is one of the most progressive and up-to-date cities in the whole world, let alone Africa. It prides itself on the immaculate character of its streets, and on the beauty of its parks and public buildings. “Double-decked” streetcars of the most advanced model seem to be the established mode of locomotion. From the city proper, we go down to the splendid beaches, where the long surges of the Indian Ocean pound and roar continually, and watch the people bathing, the porpoises cruising along the outskirts of the beach, and the surf racing against the rocks on the point. From the civilization of Durban, we go far inland to the town of Eschowe, in Zuzuland. The pictures were taken at the time that Lord and Lady Gladstone visited this station. Zulu chiefs from all the surrounding territory came to Eschowe to pay their respects to the great English Lord and Lady. According to custom, they brought with them many complaints to set before their white masters. Perhaps the most curious of these was to the effect that a great hardship was being thrust upon them by the increase in the number of cattle. In the old days one could purchase a very satisfactory wife for two cows. Now the price was nearly twenty. After we have seen the children of the Norwegian Mission going through their calisthenic exercises, we turn to the real feature of the picture, a great tribal dance in honor of Lord Gladstone, in which two thousand natives in full native dress took part.
