Framed Print of Arrival of despatch-boat at Lisbon with news of the Ashantee War, 1874. Creator: Unknown
Arrival of despatch-boat at Lisbon with news of the Ashantee War, 1874. The news of Sir Garnet Wolseley's severe battle with the Ashantees at Amoaful...and the submission of King Koffi Kalkalli...was published in our last week's paper. The first portion of this intelligence had been conveyed from Madeira to Lisbon, in forty one hours, by one of the Admiralty despatch-boats...The paddle-wheel steam-yacht Enchantress...and the tender Vigilant...are the vessels at present so engaged. They have to intercept the West African mail-steamers calling at Madeira from Cape Coast Castle...as soon as they get the despatches they leave at full speed for Lisbon...The London press is now fully represented at Lisbon, there being special agents for the Times, Daily News, Daily Telegraph, and Standard and Reuter's telegraph news. When the despatch-boat is seen...the London newspaper agents are soon afloat...Instantly as the steamer moors in front of the Rock of the Conde d'Obidos, formerly the Old Packet Stairs, the British Government despatches are sent ashore...then the press telegrams are delivered, and a boat-race for the shore is commenced...Having got to land, cabs are taken to the offices, and the telegrams are put upon the wire without loss of time'.
