KISCH, Daniel Montague (1840-98). - He was a Jew who was born at Sprouston,
England, in June 1840. KISCH accompanied H. CHAPMAN and RACKHAM (Rawbone ?)
on a hunting and trading journey to Ovamboland from Hereroland in 1860-61,
when RACKHAM died of dysentery. KISCH and H. CHAPMAN reached J. CHAPMAN's
camp near Windhoek in April 1861, stayed a few days, and then departed for
Walvis Bay, where KISCH arrived with Mr. and Mrs. LATHAM on 2 May 1861, four
days before H. CHAPMAN. KISCH was still at the Bay in early June. He died at
sea on 11 December 1898.
