After Huberta's West Street visit and Sydenham to have a swim in the water-works dams she disappeared again and two weeks later turned up in the Umkomaas River Valley where one of her most amusing escapade took place.
Looking at the google map this Huberta style escapade must have happened somewhere on the banks of the river. We do know she was ambling around near a large building, she heard strange sound echoing from within. It has been said that the band was actually playing Tchaikovsky's 1812. Whichever, it was a brass band playing loud music and this attracted Huberta.
"They forgot to tell that it sounded to me like one of my own calling, so I followed the sound. I was very lonely at that time and thought wow I am going to have company. I answered the call with a loud bellowing sound just inside the door. Those two legged creatures jumped up from their seats and disappeared into the night outside."
Huberta was dissapointed as only one young lady remained behind, she was too frightened to move. The young lady took one look at Huberta peering at her, and her courage returned. In a flash she picked up the large brass musical instrument called an euphonium and threw it at Huberta! Huberta left the scene in disgust - dragging the euphonium with her, damaging it beyond repair.
She had had about enough of these strange two-legged creatures who insisted on either disturbing her meals, or who chased her when she was investigating interesting things along the way!
