"Struthers arrived in Natal determined to become a successful big game hunter. He travelled in the vicinities of the Umvolozi and Utukela rivers, bagging numerous hippos, reedbucks, waterbucks, and the like. He continued into Amatonga territory where he hunted rhino and elephants as well as other game. Struthers' original journals were discovered on a South African bookdealer's shelves and now reside in the Killie Campbell Africana Library." - Kenneth Czech .
