Shipping records: The chartered steamship Moor will be ready at Southampton on 21 Oct [1899] for embarkation of officers and men of the ASC for Natal. ..

This comes from EFV's collection, and is a previously unseen (by me anyway!) photo of men at the rapids on the Tugela about 1.5 km south of Hart's Hill. Though the caption says `'British scouts`', the men look like Boers and all carry Mausers. Morreover there is a partly obliterated label at the bottom.
Can anyone decipher it?
Thanks in anticipation! Rob
