One of the first things we did was to get poor Riggs’ body. It was between our treach and the first Boer treaches, which were about thirty yards off. He was shot through the head while he was lying down He could not have felt it; and death must have been instantaneous, He wasa fine young ma»,a particular friend of mine and a great favorite with his comrades. We, of course,went into the Boer trenches. Tney were long and narrow, and built right down in the earth, and very skilful- ly constructed. Here we found lots of rifles of all kinds, bays of flour, tins of meat, mealie, etc. I got a good Boer rifle io keepif possible fora souvenir * * ‘In the meantime the Boera had been | formed up in their laager and taken to the | other side of the river in pontoons where a regiment with fixed bayonets took charge of jthem * * I theo went bach to our trench |and found some of H company making pancakes out of the Boer flour; and being a Haligonian I was kindly helped to some

Major Stewart has very kindly allowed Tae Examriver to make the following ex- tracts from a capital letter received from his soa, Corporal Lorae Stewart, who is with the first Canadian contingent id South Africa :
PaAaRDEBURG, March 3rd, 1900. Dean Farner, You are already aware of
the fighting we have been in. Poor Roland Taylor was killed instant-
ly on Sunday, the 18th Feb. and Fred Waeye slightly wounded The Canadiens knew no fear.
They madeevery advance in the most or
deriy manner possible. The Boers say the Canadians are ercelleat shots, their losses being the heaviest oa this occasion of sny engagement since the war com- nienced.
The British lost beavils; I cannot sav exactly how many men. The Boers had a very strong position on the banks of the river, and it commanded the country for pearly two miles. So you see that with-

six in the morning. Bata var advanee is what will ia- ‘reat you most. We weat into the irenches at aboat 8 o’clock 10 the evening, and remained ‘here till half-past two next motning, when we made an advance. The front rank with bayonets fixed and msrching band ix hend, the rear rank fifteen paces in the rear, rifles slung and carrying shovels and picks. The front ranks were withio ten paces of the Boer trenches when they poured a tremendous volley into us, Then one after another, using their magazines. We immediately dropped fiat on the ground. We then received the order to retire, which was done ia good order, not leaving a wounded man on the field (G. Company, anvhhow, tbe others I am not so sure of.) We built our treaches amid a shower of lead such as I do not want to experience again. Alf Riggs was killed
soadisos at 1
wounds afterwards. Some of the dead had eight or ten shots inthem. Joka Harris had a woundin thearm. Nelson Bracea slight wound in the leg. It just scraped hime Ern. Bowness and Hedley McKinnon were in the rear of the Boer trench when the first volley was fired. They rolled down into the river and escap- ed uninjured, I will try and give you some idea of the river and the trenches where Bowness was.

We aie all corry about the deaths in thecompany. It makes our home-coming -ad not fcronly to those at home but tou; as well. We have a great deal to be thank- ful for im having come through such neavy firing without losing more of our Islanders. Iam not sere, but I think our fighting is over ; if not, we will still up- bold the honor of Canada in general and the Islanders will see to it that the tight litle Island’s reputation will not only be
sustained but made greater if pos- ~ible. Fuiggs and Taylor died in a geod cause, and personally I
know that they showed courage which wil! be worthy of mention. It hae been im- possible for me to serd a telegram. There 1s fightiag going on a few miles from here at present. I think we will leave for some this month. We have had pretty bard times; living on from two to ‘hree biscuits per day and quarter rations of tea and coffee ; dinner sometimes at five in the evening,and often no supper. Some times we lay in the rain without blaakets or overcoats, aometimeg going ic sleep without our supper. We got very weak and cross. Bat vow we are on three-quar- ier rations and have plenty of Boer flour. coffee and cornmeal. We are only about ten miles from Kimberley and we expect . mai! from there today. 1 look for & letter or 80 from home.
I have plenty to say and very little time to write, but I hope to be able to tell it to you within the next six weeks,
We are badly in need of boots, trousers, coats, etc. Bowness looks brigand, eo the Captain says, for he has a pair of Boer trousers, and he also request. eda Boer prisoner to take offa pair of kneeiboots that he was weariog and put on a new pair that he was carrying, 80 that Bowness might wear the oid ones. The Boerdid eo and Boney looks a ‘‘peach.” Iam sure that some time the Gordons orsome of them wil} take him prisoner in mistake for one of the enemy.
Give my regards to Li..Col. McLeod. Tell him that he bas reason to be proud of
bis men tuatare here. Col. Moore and Dr. Warburton also have reason to be proud cf the selec tion = they made,--for G Com-
pany is the healthiest in the regiment they can march further, live on less and;

Words cannot ex- dress how I feel for yourselfand family in this great grief. It will be a conrvulation to you to know that Alfred died in the very front of the figbt, fighting heroically
Alfred was a good boy, his} not inthe regiment, and in your time of
to you to know that your eon was always about doing good and was highly respect~ ed and loved by these who knew him. His death,with that of Roland Taylor,has cast a gloom over usall.
Their fate may meet some more of us ; but whilst I have the opportunity I must express my hearifelt sympathy for yourself and family in this time of sad. ness.
Believe me, Yours most sympathetically, Wittram A. Weeks, Capt. R. C. R.
