HISTORY REVIVED
REMINISCENCE OF RORKE'S
DRIFT
(Received loth February, 2 p.m.)
LONDON, 14th February.
Mr. Arthur Howard, a survivor of Eorke's Drift, was surprised when he saw a report that he had died at Sydney. He told a "Daily Mirror" representative that he had been living in Kent for forty years and had never been to Australia. "As you see," he said, "I am quite alive, and how the Sydney art gallery can have a picture of me leaving a burning hospital shouldering a man I cannot understand. It was as much as I could do to leave the building myself when the Zulus burned, it without carrying any one out. There were only eighty-six of us and I cannot think there was another Arthur Howard there. . '
