'The author, who was a Lieut. in the Royal Navy in the last war, spent years of research in obtaining the fascinating material contained in this history of Port Alfred - "The Kowie". . As the author states " . it is a story that is unique, because the things that went on there could not possibly have happened in any other part of the world. It was as long ago as 1820 that the first attempts were made to establish a harbour and it was not abandoned for nearly a century, yet at one time there were as many as a dozen ships in the harbour". Among many interesting facts he reveals is how Prince Alfred was having a "whale of a time with the girls at Queenstown" when he was supposed to be on duty aboard H.M.S. Euryalis. Another chapter deals with a feud between the mysterious Hon. William Cook and a Cornish magnate who had fifteen "natural" children. Altogether a book that throws new light on a little-known part of our history.'
