William Wood's account of the journey from Natal to Grahamstown: "We remained but a fortnight longer at Natal, (note :- this was after departure of "Comet") and then my mother and I left in company with Mr & Mrs Edwards and family, for Graham's Town; and in consequence of Mr Edwards having but one wagon, and that being filled with the remains of his property, we had all to travel on foot, Mrs Edwards and my mother having each to carry one of Mrs E.'s children, who were too young to walk. Having endured innumerable privations, and excessive fatigue, we at length arrived at King William's Town, where Mr. Edwards and family remained, and where my mother procured a wagon to carry us to Graham's Town, at which place we arrived safely, after having been four months on the road from Natal".
