May 13 Wednesday – In Durban, Natal Sam gave his “At Home” No. 2 (morality) lecture at the Theatre Royal. Extra seats were brought in to accommodate an overflow crowd. Reviews published: May 15: Transvaal Advertiser; May 16: Natal Witness; Pretoria Press.

Sam gave an impromptu speech for the Durban Savage Club, Dr. Samuel George Campbell, chairman [Philippon 15]. Parsons writes,

Among clubmen he was at home, striking no bargains. Besides, as guests, he and Carlyle Smythe had the privilege of the club’s billiard table and much more chance of playing without a wait than in a hotel [“Clubman in S.A.” 238].
