"There are in the history of South Africa few official expeditions about which less is known than that of Dr. Andrew Smith to the Zulu monarch, Dingane, in 1832. The reason for this probably lies in the fact that the real motive for the expedition, which had very far-reaching results, was as far as possible kept secret, and any official report that may have been made by its leader was either delivered verbally or, if written, was treated as confidential and therefore never made public. No official reference to it is to be found in either our South African Archives or in the Public Record Office in London, and no report of it exists in either institution.".

Chubb . happened to show me a manuscript ., the journal of a surivivor from the wreck of the Grosvenor, a sailor named William Hubberly. . The Hubberly journal . presented me with something quite new, a day-to-day account of the vicissitudes of one group of castaways, told with such circumstantial detail, particularly with regard to the topography of the country passed through, that I was convinced that a critical examination of it would make it possible for the route followed by the unfortunate people to be traced completely, and for the first time.".
