Do any of you know the year of birth of Cap. James 'ngongonjaa' Sutherland, famous ivory hunter of last years of XIX and early years of XX centuries? All I know is his the year of his death - 1929 - and that 2 of his bull terriers - he had 4 or five, once at a timewere called Brandy and Whisky.
Thank you.

The other three were probably Scotch, Gin, and Rum. or perhaps Rye.

Sure. And he had also a pair of cats - Ice and Soda. Now, what about the man's year of birth?

Scotland, 1872.
Likely related to, or a descendent of, the Earl of Sutherland-Gordon.

Now, isn't life a most amusing thing? I pose a question about a man who had dogs with booze names, a light-hearted member adds some spirited sugestions, and the info comes from a guy named... Drinks!!!
Thanks, Drinks, for the information, and you too, Scrounger, for a good laugh!
