= In 1773 Wolraad Woltemade, a German farmer colonist in Cape Town, saved the lives of 14 sailors of the ship D'Jonge Thomas after it was shipwrecked on the coast near Cape Town. Wolraad rode out into the surf seven times with his horse, bringing back fourteen men. By this time he and his horse were exhausted, but at that moment, as they rested, the ship began to collapse. Seeing this as probably their last chance to escape before the ship was destroyed, six men plunged into the sea, grabbing at the horse. Their weight was too much for the exhausted steed; all were dragged below the waves and drowned. Woltemade was declared a hero by the VOC. F.M. 4275.
