But here is what the Durban paper said: [Citation: As briefly noted yesterday, the _Spray_, with a crew of one man, arrived at this port yesterday afternoon on her cruise round the world.

The _Spray_ made quite an auspicious entrance to Natal.

Her commander sailed his craft right up the channel past the main wharf, and dropped his anchor near the old _Forerunner_ in the creek, before any one had a chance to get on board.

The _Spray_ was naturally an object of great curiosity to the Point people, and her arrival was witnessed by a large crowd.

The skilful manner in which Captain Slocum steered his craft about the vessels which were occupying the waterway was a treat to witness.] The _Spray_ was not sailing in among greenhorns when she came to Natal.
