"A delightful happenstance came my way in Australia recently, when I was asked if I were aware of the connection between Grafton, New South Wales, and my grandfather, Sir Winston Churchill. I was not, so he took me down to the River Clarence, and showed me the broken hulk of a ship called Induna. She was the coaster that transported young Winston from Lourenço Marques, Portuguese East Africa (now Maputo, Mozambique) to Durban, South Africa after his dramatic escape from the Boers in December 1899."
