Mr. Barnard Finch, of Durban, South Africa, crossing the Tugela River, which separates Natal from Zululand, in his Napier car. As will be noted, the bridge and trolley shown form the means of crossing when the river is low, but when in flood a punt has to be used, worked by overhead wires. Mr. Finch has been using his car regularly for five years, and during that period has covered thousands of miles over the roughest country. Notwithstanding the severe conditions the engine is in perfect order, and the only new part he has had to secure was a leaf for one of the springs.
