LETTERS FROM SOUTH AFRICA

Some Island Soldiers Write Home

REV. T. F. FULLERTON ALSO

WRITES INTERESTING LETTER

Islanders all Well and Anxious to

get at the Boers,

Yesterday we published interesting |-t- ters from Rev. Mr. Fallertoo and the Is- land soldiers with the Canadian Contin-~ gent in addition toa readable letter from

our epecial correspondent. To-day we

publish several other letters the perusa of which will prove interesting.

Belmont Camp, December 14th, 1899.

Deam Faraee,—The plan ef attack by Genere! Hutton is dead; se is the drill book. This war has killed al] the drill that you orany other militia officer ever learned in Canada. British officers carry rifles and aide-arme; dress like privates ia the ranks; N. C. O’s wear no stripes. There 8 no superoumerary raek; al! in that grade are in with the privates. All unnecessary words of command are drep- ped,—for instance, take “form feure right,” “Quick march” is what is used instead of ‘move to the right ia fours,” “form fours right, by the left, quick march.” Nounnecessary words are used at al); officers are are not saluted or recogni- zed in any manner; volley firing is done away with.

W ben atteeking & position instead of en> and four sections ofa company forming the supports and two and threethe firing

with not less thas five paces interval be (ween the men—the captain in the centre of the line, or thereabouts. The rear line forms the support, with the subsltern Officers and the sub-section commanders going with the front rank. There mass be not lese than thirty paces betwee» the fir- ing line and the supports. Each maa must use his own judgment us to distance and the whole advance isdone on the double.

We had afuneral yesterday, that ofa man samed Chappel], who belonged to Beie Verte. He was a member of “G” Compasy, and I was one ofthe firiag party. It gave ue all the “blues,” for ke was a verv decent fellow. We buried him with military bonore as far as it is pose- sible to do 80 ou active service.

I am happy to aay that the oaoly com- plaint the Island boys have t> make isthat they do not get enough to eat, and that is a eure sign that they are a)] well. I never eaw such a healthy looking crowd. We have all gained in flesh—some of vs as much as twenty prueds. I am actual, scared to weigh myvelf, for] keow 1 muat go at least 180 pounds, if not more, and [ have also grown a beautiful ruddy wh‘eker —is even worsethanlam. He hasa regular fiery, flowing mop, guarasteed to light @ cigarat ten paces, in faet you will hear the boys requesting him, —** give mea light{trom your whisker,” then something exeiting will immediately fol- low

We kuow nothing of the war; we hear lots of Zreports but we caanut believe them.

Mr. Fullerton is well, and cauuet do toe much forus ; it is @ good thing for us that he ia here,

Another Letter From Mr. Fullerton.

Bevmost Camp, D.c. 15:0, 1899,

My Dear Ma. Janes,—Uader circum- stances very diffical: indeed, Capt. Weeks aud I are trying to writs to some one in P. E. Island,—as we have just learned that there is one chance of getting aletter te the Cape in time for the outgoing mail. Paver and pens wre searce, aud food is not too plentiful, and that toe in a climate where the themometer can reach, on an average day, 140 degrees in the shade of tne tent. The nghts,however are delight- tully cool enabling us to enjoy the Juxury of a blanket.

Since we left Cape Town, « fortaight ago, we bave been camping at severa! pointe in the Great Karoo, so called be- cause Of a emal! prickly shrub which die. tinguisbes itfrom the grass veldt. It looks as though we were making for Kim- berley, which is some 70 miles from here, but which cannot be entered uatiltbe back of the cainpsigo is broken by the complete demolition of the Boers at Spytfenteia. But will this be done? There are all sorts of rumors here, with nothing reliable, We are 24 miles from Spytfontein or rather Modder river -tation, and no !ess than six ambulance trains haye passed down dur- ing the last two days.

The first fight at Modder River, about & fortnight ago, was just a case of holdisg our own and croseing the river, The sec- ond fight, which is now going, om opened very disastrously for the Britieh forees. The Highland Brigade started at midnight ou Sunday last to attack the Buers on their strongly entrenched kepjs at Spytfon- tein. When they neared the ecene they tell into an ambuscede cleverly laid by Cronje. Is was constructed of barbed wire. The Boers had left the koyje and were safely entrenched behind the wire.

No eooner did the brave Highlaaders indi

caie their presence than velley after volley

poured into them and two companies fell

wounded or dead. The rest Jay down for protection from the Boer bullets. But owing (they say) to our shells bursting over our Own trenches they made a etam- pede and thus became an easy target for the Boers. it was a Balakava, where somebody blundered,—buat without the Balakava results, The British casual- ‘ies are placed at about 800 including Gev- eral Wauchope. I fear that they are wuch greater,—but as I said we can get no | ows.

Laat the lyddite enells wrought great lastruction among the Boers is accepted

ere as @ fact. Hostilities, which ceased for 24 hours to permit the burial of the bave e@ommenced this morn ing sud we wait with iatease anxiety the re- ult. Everybo y {condeme Lord Methuen as we are cf the ances. @ noot possibly judge. We 10 kuow, vowever, (uat many brave men ave falleo vicums to the cruelty and orrurof war. All aecounte say they behaved grandly. Everything indicates ‘hat the Britteh “Tommy” has lost nose f his dash and = daring. The Boer position et Spyfontein is @ very sirong ove. But with shell they expect to drive them oul, and the cavalry with some inf stry are ready to pursue. The feeiing ofte whole ariay is very bitter indeed,—and {| fear very little mercy will be shown the Boers, To-day’s battle, however, may decide the whole ques ion,

Yesterday I buried a yeung fel'ow from Nova, Scotia (Nev Bruaswick) Chapelle, who died from blood poisening of a diph- theratic kind. The sceme was very im~ pressive indeed. The young fellow had & very high character aad died a truly christian death. His eomrades—C apt. Week’s Co—erected a rude etore and in- ecribed ha name, etc., thereon. Though eurrousded by the gravesof British and Boer alike his is covepicaous on the bar- ren slop? of Belmont battle-fieli being rendered so by his comrades who respected him bighly.

The Islanders are all in good health, and, like the other Canadians, are eager for the fray. God knows they mey have enough of it betore they are through.

Yours very eiacerely Tues. F. Fuciertoy.

Letter From Mr. Necy Doiron.

Mr. Joseph Kennedy has received a ie. er frem Mr. Necy Doiron, from which we extract the followin

Belmont, Dec. 16, 1899

“Wellitisa little hotter here than in Charlottetowo, Tais is the place to make the perspiration rug from you. You should see us~how dirty we are. We have a Cnance to wash about once a week and to skave once a mouth. You would really jaugh to see how tough we are get~- ting.

“We have made anice trench for cur- selves. I tell you, if those Boers come down to attack us they will thik sure that they are walking lates hot spout, for we sre all good shot-; we will thio them out when we get the chanae.

“At Orauge River I was guard over one buodred Boer-, end one ef tuem saw that [ was a stranger. He tried to give me the slip and got about tem yards away. | ordered the rascal to bals and he refused to atop. 1 felt like putting an end to him, but gave him onlya light dig with wy bayonet. He soon turned back and plead- ed with me to desist Toney are surprising ly trightened of steel, but put up a splen

| did fight with the rifle.

“We know a great deal of the treachery ofthe Boers. Their white flag trick is almost faked now. The other day they raised on> and ip an instawt it was shot down by the British, ‘They also wearthe red cross ag a protection against hostile bullets,but that will not work neither. Jus now there is cone stiff figating where toe Boera are strongly emtresched. The lyddite ehellado dreedfal havo> among ihe enemy. Lastna’ght we could hear them buret with a report like thunder; and that ic almost twenty-five miles away. Bat Ithiok the stubbern tyrants will make a herd fight or two before they give up- I hope we will have a chance for one tackleat them. Ag it is, we have a medal bar and etar. That ia all we wish in the way of reward, but I think we will have another bar before we go back either at Ladysmith or Pretoria. It will be for the relief of Kimberley, even should we not tire a shotin actual fighting, as we are ov the line of communication.

‘“[ hope you stay-at-homes do not forget us poor beggarson this blazing, fiery, rec-Lot eand.”
