LETTERS FROM THE FRONT

Lance Corporal O'Reilly Under Fire

THE ACTION TOOK PLACE EARLY LAST MONTH

Rev. Mr. Fullerton Fired Upon at Modder River.

Mr. Lorne Stewart, writing from Bel- mont under date of January 6th, says:—

On the 31st of December C Company and part of B Company, with curtwo Maxim guns (Q’Rielly the only Islander going with them) accompanied by the Cornwall Regiment of Iafantry, the Munsters, Royal Horse Artijlery and Queensland Mounced Infantry, left for Dorglastown, 52 mile: distant. They arrived there on Tuesday, the 2ad of January, completely surprisivg the Boers who were at their dinner; kill d 14 of them; wounded 15, and captured 49. Our less was two Queensland men killed and ove efficer seriously wounded. Oar troops burned about 25 Boer transport wagons and 50,000 rounds of ammuzsition,

15 Martini rfles, and captured a large number of horses. This affair cccured at Brightpan, a,few miles ibis side of

Dougiasiown. The Boers, when our meo got after them withthe bayonet pleaded, tor mercy. They showed two white flags, and when our officers went to see what they meant they did the same old trick— fired onthem. The Boers mounted their borses without nsadles or briddjes and rao } to the river, swam it, and escaped. Our} men remaiced in Douglastown al! night, left next morning and were followed by from 1500 to 2000 Boers, -but they never eame witbin range of ovr meo.

Mr. Fallertoe was fired upeo at Modder t.ver, asd as he evidently did not expect eueh a reception I rather fancy be got a start. He went up there to look at the Boer position, which, in his opivion, is as strong &s Gibraltar, and will not be teken except from the rear.

With the Ambulance Corps.

Mr. Peter McReddin, a Cha:lottetown boy, isa member of 18 Section C. Com- pany, Volunteer Ambulance Corps, on aervice in Africa Previous to joining the corpe, Mr. McReddin was mining tn Juban-

nesburg. Writing from Estcourt to a friend in Charlottetown, Mr. McReddin says in part :—
