Abstract
A COLONY only accessible through foreign territory is naturally unsatisfactory to its holders, and since the development of German South-west Africa, the inconvenience of having Walfish Bay as the only landing place for the interior has gradually increased. It is now announced that a new harbour has been found on German territory in the mouth of the Swartkop river. The stream is so small that it is marked on few general maps of Africa, and it may even turn out to be in the British sphere.
