] | A CANADIAN’S ESCAPE.

' THRILLING ADVENTURE IN THE NIGHT. | ‘The first man to arrive in Toronto ‘from the seat of hostilities in Africa Livingston. He was

iwas Dr. F. J. by the Boers on

taken prisioner

They | October 29, made a daring escape from |

| under the rifles of his captors that 'night, and travelled on foot a hundred and forty mlies to the nearest British post. Dr. Livingston isa dark, lean, athletic-looking man, and resembles very much Dr. Peters, major of the 3ody Guards. He was interviewed shortly after his arrival by a Mail and Empire reporter, to whom he told the following story.

Dr. Livingston’s home is in Colling- wood. He graduated from Victoria University in 1892, and from Trinity Medical school in 1894. The next year he went to Natal, and settled at Ladysmith as a Methodist medical missionary among the natives. He was self-supporting. Besides a posi- tion with the Natal Government, he built up a considerable private practice about Ladysmith, as well as carrying on ®his missionary work with the | macrves, In May, 1898, he was ap- | pointed by the Natal Government /medical inspector of the Ingwavuma district in Tongaland. The district is 'bounded on the north by Portuguese territory, on the west by Swaziland, and on the east by the Pongalo river. It is densely populated with Zulus, but no white man has been permitted to settle there yet, although it is a very fertile countay. Dr, Livingston lived with three other Europeans, the magistrate, the clerk of the court and the inspector of police. They had about 25 native police with them. They had telephone communication with Pietermaritzburg, and so were kept posted as to the progress of the difficulty between Great Britain and the Transvaal.

GOT WIND OF A RAID,

Shortly after hostilities broke out they got word of a Boer commando 300 strong assembling in Swaziland. They had out their native scouts, and early word of an intended raid on the part of this mob as a bit of / diversion before proceeding south to join the forces that had already invaded Natal. On Sunday, October 29, they were in- formed of the Boer approach. The native police wanted to fight, but the Government's orders were to keep the natives from taking part in the war as 'far as possible. The doctor’s three | companions, deeming it impossible to

pes made off, and escaped. The

doctor had travelled hundreds of | miles in Swaziland torender medical aid to the families of many of the in- | vading Boers, and he felt he was com- | paratively safe with them, more especi- ‘ally as he was altogether a non-com- 'batant. So he proceeded more leisure- ‘ly, and was engaged in an easy and orderly retreat with his medical stores | when he was surprised by a party of '75 Boers, who came upon him from | behind, and had their rifles levelled at | him before he had any chance of en— }vading them. That was about noon on Sunday. | The Boers took his horses, and told him to sit on the ground, and puta guard of four men with loaded rifles 'over him. Not content with that, they | cursed him roundly fora ‘damn rooi /neck” (red neck, a Boer name for | Englishmen). This party of Boers had come reund for the purpose of cutting the telephone wire. In the meantime the main body had burned all the ‘Government buildings, including the ‘doctors house, looted and burned an Italian’s store, and seized all the cattle they could find, and spent a good part of the afternoon looking for more.

DR. LIVINGSTON’S ESCAPE.

| | Towards evening the guard over the 'doctor was relieved, and four others | were set to watch him. The company ' had gathered a lot of fowl and prepared | themselves a fine feast. The doctor |and his guard were some distance | apart from the main body, and within ‘about 75 yards of the charred ruins of |his house. Early inthe morning he | determined to make a dash for liberty 'and trustto the knowledge of the ‘locality and his strength of limb. He ‘is considerable of an athlete. The

‘night was very dark, and fifty yards‘

‘from him were some large rocks.

; CE eee et etree TY, Conencmieeen: *

| Abont midnight he suddenly sprang up *

Britain and the

{and made a dash for the cover of the ‘rocks. His guards were completely | taken by surprise. They jumped up ! and levelled their rifles, but were too ‘excited to be certain which way to ,shoot. They cried: ‘“He’s there!” “He’s there!” pointing in different directions, and the doctor was enjoy- ing the shelter of the rocks almost be- fore they knew he was gone.

His escape created a great hubbub. He stood a moment to listen, but | could make out nothing of the babel ' of sounds, so put off at his best speed

through the mealie and corn stalks of ' the native gardens, and quickly gained 'a wood. He directed his course to- wards Uongoma, a considerable police post, and fearing the Boers would pur- sue him on horseback, he did not stop a minute until between two and three o'clock on Monday afternoon. There he got some food from the natives. From midday to midnight on Sunday ‘the Boers had offered him neither meat nor drink. He sent for a minor Zulu chief, who got our his scouts and accompanied Dr. Livingston as far as the Pongolo river. By Monday even- ing the doctor had covered 70 miles.

The Pongolo was swollen and full of crocodiles, but the natives got him over in a boat, then hid the craft to keep it from the Boers. of the pursuit being greatly lessened the fugitive travelled more leisurely, and arrived at his objective point early on Tuesday morning, after a jaunt of 140 miles.

From Uongoma the doctor proceed- ed by horses and rail to Pietermaritz- burg, and offered his services as sur- geon tothe British forces, but about 50 European doctors had been among the fugitives from the Transvaal, and the army had more surgeons than it wanted. ‘The doctor then took ship from Durban for home and arrived here from New York only last night.

WANTED TO SHOOT HIM.

Among the 75 Boers who captured Dr. Livingstone were ten whom he knew personally, having treated them or their families in illness, and some of them told him he would have been shot had not they interceded for him, because the officers wanted to despatch him.

Dr. Livingston during his two years and a half in Ladysmith travelled all through the country over which the opposing forces are now fighting. He has crossed the Tugela scores of times. Spion kop he told the reporter, is a ridge about five miles long, steep on the side towards the British, falling away more easily towards Ladysmith, from which it is situated about 18

miles. It is capped with a lot of kopjes or smaller hills. General War- ren, he asserts, could have occupied only one end of it. Between it and Ladysmith are other ridges of hills, then there is a level tract about six miles across, and another range close to the town,

Dr. Livingston has no doubt about the ultimate outcome of the conflict but the British, he says, have a heavy contract on hand. The Boers, he said, were “really ignorant except for riding horses and handling a gun.” Not one of thern, he asserts, can write their own names, and he regards them as being scarcely half civilized. Many French and German officers have been train- ing them for the present conflict.

INHERITED ASTHMA,

Suffered Since His Birth, and Found Help Only Throngh Clarke's Kola Compound, Now Free From Asthma,

Mr. Robert S. Taylor, New Westminster, B.C., writes:—‘‘I have been a constant enfferer from hereditary bronchial asthma since my birth, 23 years ago. I have tried every remedy ever heard of for this trou- ble, and spent hundreds of dollars with doctors, but to no purpose. Clarke’s Koia Compound is the only remedy that ever gave me any permanent relief. I have also gained much in weight since being cured. I can honestly recommend it to any un- fortunate sufferer from asthma.” All drug- gists sell Clarke’s Kola Compound, or write the Griffiths and Macpherson Co., Limited, Toronto.
