I doubt whether until quite recently many Boeis took the war really seriou- Siy. One evening in Jan uary last on

a spur of the giant Umbulwanha, over- looking the Neutral Camp, at’ Lady- smith, I came upon a Utrecht outpost A raw, callow youth of not more than sixteeqy years, was this ‘brandwacht,’ ard he asked me to help him interpret the mearing of a written order down from the head laager, which was laboriously spelling out. raper said in effect that English spies and Kaffir runners were continually creeping through the Boer lines to Buller at Chiveley, that extra vigilance was imposed, and that ifat the third chailenge no satisfactory answer was given, there was to be no further _par- ley. The outpost were to shoot to kill.

RUMOR AND TRAGEDY @F OUTPOSTS.J

The pass-word that night (our friend told me quite candidly) was ‘Mauser’;

: Boers anos!

were

sent he The

and he said he meant to carry out his instructions to the letter. Presently his keen eye described”a

movement in the bushes. A figure was approaching through the gloom.

The cutpost challenged three times and got no answer.

‘Werda!’ bellowed the outpost for the fourth time, adding in a high state of excitement and anger: ‘If you don’t shout ‘‘Mauser” at once I’ll shoot you dead sure!’ (‘as je nou nie gauw-gauw “Mauser” roep, dan zal ik jou zeker schiei!’)

By this time the figure was upon us; it was thac of a shaggy haired old far- mer, who indignantly inquired what his own son (for such it was) meant by offering such unfilial remarks. I explained the Commandant-General’s orders, but the old man was not te be appeased. Whatdid he want with passwords and threats. <A nice state of affairs if he couldn’t visit his own child after dark without all this non- sense and falutin’ regulations.

Incidents such as these go to explain the success of the two night surprises by the Ladysmith garrison on the Boer guns at Lombard and Vaal Kops, dur ing the latter of which expeditions, by the: by, Mr. Henry Spannier, a sex- agenarian speculator from the United States, who had joined the Pretoria town commando, was accidently shot dead by a Boer marksman, The facts of the episode were suppressed by the Pretoria censors; but all knew that his inability to talk Dutch and his rallying cry cn Vaal Kop, ‘Come eon, bo}s, here there are, just here?’ u.tered in English, in the rush and g'oom of the night, cost him his hife. Of course the Beers preferred to believe that the success of these daring coups was the handiwork of traitors, and Lieutenants Tosseland Walker, of the Pretoria Police, with two other Englishmen named Cooper and Milne, were placed under arrest; but we, with inside knowledge, concluded that the re- verses were due only to the crass care lessness and imprudence of the som- nolent young persons from the country at the outposts.

THE DAIL’ EXAMINEK CHARLOTTRIOWN OCTOBER 4 19¢o

the action of a certain Vryheid veter- an, sent with his fellews to seize the’ Armstreng guns Colonel Long was '

| forced te abandon en the south side of | rac

t e Tugela on that fateful 15th of De- Cc mber. This was a great shaggy creature, a giant in stature, with a 2 untenance weatherbeaten and | gnarled, in a patriarchal framework of white h.ir, that streamed unkempt all over him. Such aman as Dan’i Peg goty might have been. He had been despatched by Emmett, Botna’s brother-in-law, to help fetch the un-

protected gums. and the Tugela river being ‘very wet,’ and more than nor- mally, he had di vested himself of al clothes. Heh ad, in short, adopted the ‘altogether,’ save for the bandolier, slung across his torso, and his rifle in his hand. Then followed the alter— cation with brave Colonel Bullock

(forced to surrender by a

the Devons ina denga. Being told off as escort to the captured khakis, and unable to recover his clothes, he

present ed a side-splitting picture, as he

trudged quietly by their side, his her- culean figure towering above all the company.

It was only a shade less comical

than that of a tall, bony, grey-head who, having looted Allison’s splendid farmstead, near Ladysmith, and appro priated young Mr. Allsson’s ‘things,’ might have been observed for days after careering exultant through the laagers on an absurb little pony, attir- ed (the Boer brigand not the pony), in an opera hat, a dress coat, and dress waistcoat, no shirt, pumps with boks, no socks, and a pair of dress trousers, which, by reason of being al- together too short, ) jae spanned the knee.

EVERY SOLDIER HIS OWN GENERAL,

What would be said in the service clubs ifa trooper could transiate him- self at his own sweet will fiom an in- fantry garrison stationed at Cairo toa heavy cavalry regiment fighting in the Soudan ? What would be said if a ‘go- as-you-please-stay-if-you-like’ sort of ‘system’ prevailed, by which a Dorset Light Infantry officer, tired of active service, just saddled up and hitched himself on to an army medical corps in the rear? Or, if there was anything to be made in that quarter, joined the staff of the field canteen? Or nomin-— ated himself Batman-in Chief to Lord Kitchener ? Yet similar thing fre- quently occurred in the Beer camps.

I have known aman nominally <€- tached tolthe Johannesburg commando go to his commandant, Ben Viljoen, say he was slck of Natal, and that his brother-in-law, the general at Dordre- dht, or his aunt’s cousin, the field cor- net at Modder River, had sent him an urgent message to come down at once. Ben Viljzen might protest; but he would be powerless to interfer; if he

denied the renegade permission to leave, the latter would take train all the same. Protests in these cases

were fuvle, there was no.camp machni. ery to enforce them.

I have also seen the abject terror of a Rand magistrate, Mr. D. J. Schur- man, commandeered for active service
