A few years later, at Barberton, in the Transvaal, where Scott held an appointment in the Bank of Natal, and while travelling on horse- back, the charm was lost by being wrenched from the watch-chain through striking against the pommel of the saddle. Until recently nothing was heard of the missing charm and its owner had for a long time ceased to think of it.
