Photograph shows HMS Sybille leaving Portsmouth for South
Africa c.1901. The second class cruiser arrived at Lambert's Bay South
Africa in January 1901 for the purpose of landing men in connection with
the rebellion in Cape Colony. She had to put to sea after a gale came up
but unfortunately she was driven onto rocks 300 yards from the shore. Only
one man was killed.
