F. McRae Writes ~ At One Time Only | Nine Islanders Were Fit for Service.

Some letters have arrived from Fred B. McRae, dated from April let to April 23rd, ian which he states he isin hospital. He left the 19h Brigade Field Hosp.tal, Bloemfontein, for Naauwport on April 20th. At that time there were 1800 cares of fever in Bloemfontein.

Describing the bospital arrangements at Naauwport he says the tents are large and square, with floors. Hach contains eight beds, a table, bench and eight wardrobes. Every Led is provided with plenty clothes aud each patievt receives a com;lete new suit for use while in the hospital. It con- sists of blae pants and coat, undercluthing, mufler, socksand shoes. Everything is kept in applepie order, and the doctors and nurses are most attentive.

When Private McRae was at Nasuw- port there were about 1,00@ other cares there. He was very near being sent to Cape Town, and could bave easily gone ; but wished to rejoin the Canadians, and the doctor did not press him. Private James Walker was iu the same tent as he, with an affliction of the lunge. On the 23rd the patients were moved into new quarters. The convalescents oa the 22nd had an open air feast,— the firet in five months for Private McRae. Lady Heury Bentinck was one of the waitiesses. Ber ides her there were a great many of the nobil- | ity nursing. While at the table a photo for Eaglish papers was taken of the pa- tients in which Private McRae had a good position.

The lettera state that on March 3let when the R C. R. marched out of Bloemfontein for Bushman’s Kop, 14 milee, only vine Islanders were equal to the taek. The others who were not killei or wounded were either sick or footsore. |

Mr. J. Thomas Wright, of West River, brother of Mr. Arthur Wright, has been 8 resident of South Africa for many years, At the outbreak of the war he enlisted in the Colonial Imperial Light Infantry and has sioce been with General 3uller, tak- ing part in Spion Kop and other engagr- meats previous to the relief of Ladysmith. In a letter to his brother he details some of the experiences of a soldier, the labours, eutteringe, privations aod bair-breadth escapes. Bat through all he bas been in good health and epirite, untouched except ty a few passing bullets which left mere scratches. Concerning the corps in which Mr. Wright has been fighting, we extract the following from B neti Burleigh’s graphic account of the Spion Kop eo- gagement;:

** The Colonial Imperial Light Infantry went isto sction upon Spion Kop st 9 a. m., and remained upeo the mountain un~ tilS p.m. Out of 350 men they had 39 killed and 90 wounded, including among the Jatter a brother of your correspondent, Mr. Falconer,woo was struck with a piece of shell. Mo+t of these volunteers were all Uitlanders, and at least six ot them, whose bodies were afterwards discovered, had been clubbed to death by the Boers. Two of those slangatered in this way—Corporal Weldon and Private Daddon—were ex-Pretoria men. Lieute:- ant Kudall, of the I. L. [., whilet ieading the reliefs towards the right about 11 a. m., was hit and killed by a pompom shell.”

We may add that the I. L, I. distin- guished itself no less conspicnously at the severe fighting at Pieter’s Hill, on Majaba Day (27th February.) on which occasion, among “ther casnaities, their major (C. D. Alay) was severeiy wounded, and the corps was in the front fighting line, and material- ly assisted in carrying the day.
