McGill Museum was visited,where were
Seen. representing different periods of the world‘s history, the works of nature and of man. From the massive Indian totem- pole and the skeleton cf monster animals °f 3868 10113 ago. to the thousands of specimens representing the life on and the composition ofthe earth`s crust to-day, °“1`¢)'¢S D8~SSed in rapid»view. The sight of Maissoneuve’s monument on Place d'Arms recalled the history of the founding of Montreal-the monuments on Dominion Square that of the building up of Canada. Notre Dame and St. James Cathedrals have magnificent interiors. As one looks upon the costly adornments, the beautiful altars, and the grand and intricate arches and hangings overhead, he wonders how man could do all this.
One of the most exciting features of the
stay at the Metropolis was-shooting Lachine Rapids. We rode by train tea place above the rapids and then boarded a steamer to come back by the river; Cautiously the steamer approaches the rapids, the water foams and roars, the waves beat against the side of the vessel and throw their spray on deck, the boat rolls from side to side, the experience is most exciting-but finally the rough water is past, we glide swiftly down the river and are safely landed at the wharf.
After visiting many places of interest in
Montreal, we took the train for Toronto and had soon past Ste Annes where are the locks by means of which steamers going up the Ottawa are lifted over the rapids. Ste Annes was once the home of the poet Moore, and is the scene of his well known boat song. The railway now leaves the river, and one passes through a beautiful farming country, by many orchards and here andtiiere tracts of,tlie original forest. Past many well built and prosperous towns, we in the early morning arrived at Toronto and changed cars for Niagara Falls. Some of our party. too anxious tosee the city, got left; but were thereby afforded the privilege of a sail across the Lake.
From Toronto around Lake Ontario, one
passes through a most delightful fruit country. The farms are regularly laid off, the fences and buildings well built and neat, the trees and shrubs in perfect rows and the soil cultivated between them with scarcely a weed to be seen- everything indicates prosperity.
Afterafew hours travel we heard' the
roarof the mighty Niagara, and a few minutes later were intently gazing on that great fall of water. Above, the great volume of water flows smoothly on, until suddenly it falls almost perpendicularly with deafening roar. For many rods on either side the air is continually full' of spray. On the side are beautiful gardens, alvvays moist from the spray of the foaming waters. On either side below the falls the banks rise abruptly to a great height. If one choose he may don a. rubber suit,go down by an elevator to the foot of the cliff, and then scramble over the rocks clese up to where the water pours down. In the seething waters below the Falls, a little steamer ‘°The Mild of the Mist” plies backward and forward. Even more exciting than shooting the rapids is the trip on thfs little boat through the rough boiling waters. A short distance below the Falls is the Suspension Bridge which joins the city of Niagara with the Canadian side. The best view ofthe Niagara is from the top of a very high tower,which is attached to the Tower Hotel. One enters the iron cage of the elevator, the doors are shut and locked, and slowly the ascent is made up, up, up, till looking down the people on the street seem about one foot_high. From the platform at the top of the tower an excellent view of the Falls is obtained -the smoothly flowing water above and for miles below the whirlpools and the water rushing through the srorge.
Dinner over we boarded an electric car
for a trip down the gorge. For miles the track runs along the foo: of the high bank close to the foaming \vatei-s. O_:i the way the Devil’s Hole and the great whirlpool are passed. After smoother water is reached, the river is crossed by alittle steamer, the bank is ascended and another car taken by which to return.
It is on the return to the Falls that one
passes Queenston Heights where the brave Canadians made the great cha-rge, ,and showed to the world as they are
,bowing no-day that they are equal if not superior to any soldiers on earth. At the foot of the high hill is a simple tombstone surrounded byan iron fence which marks I place where fell the heroic Brock when
»
iwdmg gn his men to victory. On. the
Mil is Brock’s monument; and the 't!‘8.¢k so winds around that the car passes 121088 , by it. ~ i Words' are not adequate to convey 8 ,urge pictu1'B Of the gl'68t Work! Of llliilllfe

I came, or was supposed to follow, at 5 a. ni.. but by some means or other we were detained till 5 a.m., next day; consequent- ly we lost touch with our brigade, and I hm tha Ul0~.l0r’s _ baggage which he didn’t get for some days later at Paar- deberg; but I kept his sleeping valise well aired. _ We then moved on on February , 13th along with the convoy. It was a ` pitiful sight to see the poor Infantry fellows played out, some dropping with a slight sunstroke, and the cattle dro in
times by day and sometimes by night. Night time was the best on account of the oxen working much better in the .cool of the night. Nothing occured of note with us-but our fellows were fighting, every day in the front on their way to Kimberley--till we got to Riet River or Drift, which was a terrible pass in the` river. Miles and miles of transport had to pass through a narrow passage across the 3
waggou to pass over, let alone the hun- dreds that had to pass. We were lucky to get across and encamp below a. hill for the night. Next day they still continued to ‘ pass the drif‘t--in fact they had been at it all night, and still hundreds of waggonsl to come on. The Boers evidently knew of this obstacle, and a. party can e up from the south and had vengeance on the column, as they couldn’t on the fight-_ ing line. It was a lucky thing for us we were clear, or else we might have found our baggage gone and ourselves put over the border (i. e., sent to Pretoria or shot.) The Boers took up position in the hills and shelled the wagon convoy. The nigger drivers are terrible cowards, and all fled to the hills or kopjes near at hand, leaving the waggons and oxen to the mercy of the Boers. Some of the oxen we succeeded in driving into the camp on the other ‘side of the river.” l
'run GOOD NEW ZEALANDEBS. “The good old NewZealanders (who have proved of great use and very daring in the campaign) rode over to where the nigger drivers were, and threatened to blow their brains out if they didn’t return to their waggons, which they did after the Boers had left off shelling for a. bit after doing a terrible lot of damage. Lord Bobs
get some of the waggons away, and said “Let them go.” Our loss proved to be over £100,000, which I am glad to say we received later. The Boers thought this convoy was lost purposely, and when we arrived here we found the whole of it ex- cept what had been sent. to our prisoners at Petoria. I am sorry I was unable to go into Kimberley along with the remainder of the troop, just to say I had seen the place. I took a short cut across with the baggage to J acobsdal-this was only a small town, not as big as Ashford. There wererthree churches here, turned into hospitals, full up with German soldiers. Ii I had my way I would shoot every one

dead in all directions. We moved some-'
drift, and it took a terrible time for one '
, day, during which time a heavy storm broke out. Moved on in afternoon, and l passed through some very pretty country in comparison with the other parts wehad passed through.”
INCIDENTS AT PAABDEBERG.
“We came up with the Hghting line in
the evening and found them hard at it-. This was the commencement of the Paar- deberg, where Cronje and a. number of the field comets had broughttheir wives with them to see them beat the English; some of them gave birth to children while they
‘ were In the laager. It was on this Sunday
that the Duke of Cori1wall’s Light Infan- try and the Argyll and Suther- land Highlanders lost a lot of
men when they drove them down to ` the river; they entrenched themselvedand opened ride fire on our men. ,They had:
fantry killed and wounded. It was a. pretty sight yet awful. From the hill where I stood you could see the laager of waggons belonging to the Boers, but the Boers themselves took refuge in trenches *they dug alongside the river. All dayl Sunday our people shelled the laager, after they had given them two hours to
l surrenderiu the morning, from 9 to 11 a.
rn. I will give you an idea of what good I gunners we have in our Artillery (Royal Horse Artillery.) General Frenéh said to one of the gunners. “See those three ,waggons over there (a distance of about 3J_; miles; see what you can do with them. The gunner fired three shells and the waggons were no more.” `
‘ ' ON OUTPOST DUTY!
A“I was on outpost duty at this camP_ (Paardberg) at night-had to lie down and ,keep watch. All through the night our | drop an occassional ' shell to let them see we were not asleep, and about). a.‘m,. the enemy started ride ire, and it seemed as if t-he place were on~ ,` fire amiuute or so. Our artillery from ‘six different positions openedfire on them. l The poor devils, especially .the women,
gmust have thought themselves better off l had they stopped at their farms instead of ' coming to see their husbands beat the English. Every day stragglers who had escaped from the Boers laager came in
came up just as they were goingto try and and give them selues up, especially the
.niggers The majority of them were lwilling to surrender, but Cronje refused 'to allow them, and horsewhipped them -instead. He lasted out until ,February 27th, when he sent for two of the doctors
that they couldn’t possibly last out on
sand cattle incurable. Out of 7,(Il0 Boers
'Cronje surrendered; another 4,000 killed wounded, and. sick' with fever. I didn’t, ,go into the laager after they were turned
