About a month ago, Zambou ***** in Melbourne, ***** a Stowaway on the freighter Coulgorm. The story of his courage was so stirring that the Seamen's Mission decided to buy him an artificial leg. Wharf-laborers began the subscription and the people of Melbourne raised it to £90. The ship went to Sydney, while here a firm of limb-makers worked fast to have his leg ready by the time he came back.Zambou lost his left leg when he was 10 years old. Hungry, homeless and tired. He went to sleep on the wharf at Lourenco Marques in Portuguese East Africa. A mobile crane severed it below the knee. September 19, 1949.
