Captain Bell, master of the "Conch", who guided the ship over the Bar at Durban while under fire. As a reward, he was offered land by the Natal government but refused. For his brave action, he accepted only a pair of gilt epaulets which he wore on important occasions when acting as port captain for Durban. The photograph was taken in the late 1850s.
