ARTILLERYMAN’S GALLANT

EXPLOIT.

A driver in the 7th Battery, Royal Field artillery, in a letter from Chieve- ley camp to his father at Richmond, modestly relates the part he played in the rescue of the guns at the Tugela‘ He says: “I think 1 amas lucky a man as there is living, for I was in the midst of the thick fire and never got a scratch. I am proud to tell yeu that 1 am mentioned by the commander-in chief for a Distinguished Service medal. It happened in this way. All the 14th Battery got killed or wounded and lost their guns. The 66th Battery also lost four guns. Well, they wanted | ' some of us togo and get them if we’ could. I asked to go. When we start- ed we were under shell fire, but none

’ in a big ditch under cover. At last we got the horses legs free, and then we had the order to gallop upto the guns and hook in, COMMENUED BY GEN. BULLER. “We had no sooner got out of the ditch than the Boers opened fire with their rifles and killed nine horses and two men, and wounded five men. The lead driver and the wheel driver of my team were shot. The horse I was riding was shot in four places, and my other horse was hit in two places. When I saw the lead driver knocked off his horse by a bullet I got off, put him on his own horse, unhooked him | and let him gallop away without get-| ting wounded any worse. Gen. Buller | happened to see me, and said I behav- ed most splendid. He said he hoped 1} should always be as lucky as to come out of such a heavy fire without getting hurt. He sent down to our battery | for our names and numbers and the, major told me he was proud to have such a man under him.”

Pte. H Morris, 3rd Battalion King’s Royal Rifles, says: “As man after man in the British regiment jumped into the

shot down or drowned. tired wounded men kept coming into camp for hours. One man had been shot no fewer than six times, but still managed to crawl into our jines. The colonel of the Connaught Rangers, who was reported amongst the killed, ap- peared in camp hardly recognizable. He was bespattered with blood from head to foot, and he was cheered as only British soldiers could cheer him.”

well known to need reputition. From 'the beginning, when he walked into Glasgow, some say barefooted, to his /Omdurman days, it is nothing but a | splendid record of strength of purpose and personal heroism, ‘In appearance he looks just like the vigorous soldier he is—moderately tall, broad of chest ' (though ofnotsufficientbreadth to carry ‘all his medals), and with a square up- }right and downright look about him. His face is typically Highland in its r contour, and the straight, As one of his country- men said of him, “Macdonald’s face, it strikes you, could in a tensemoment, ‘when the march was on, or the battle going, become a perfectly cut square, a challenge to every side, hard, almost rentless. ‘The cheek bones are prom- inent at the base as well as at the top ; they suggest the strenuous, determined, indomitable man. You think of the tramp of armed men who have no sort of idea of turning back.”

Interesting Particulars of the Struggle Between Great Britain and the Boers.

been through in the Soudan, making riflemen from mud,” probably no one but himself knows. It is to him and to men like him thatthe new Egyptain army Owes its existence to-day, and the results were for all the world to see at Atbara and Omdurman.

He is a stern disciplinarian, sparihg no man, himself least of all, but he is adored by every black Soudanese and brown “Gippy” who ever followed him into battle; for he is a leader after their own hearts. Asto the affec- tion with which his fellow-officers regard him, General Hunter’s charming little

message to the Macdonald banquet n London—‘My bestlove tocomrade Macdonald”—speaks for itself,

In spite, however, of the warm liking he inspires in those above and under him, it is on record that some of his dusky Soudanese once mutinied against him. Macdonald’s method of dealing with the outbreak once again illustrates theman. His regiment had of necessity to make long forced marches under the fierce desert sun, the conditions were so hard that the men became mutinous, One day dur- ing the march Macdonald overheard two or three of the native soldiers say ing. “Wait till the next fight and I will take care that this slave-driver ofa colonel does not come outalive. I myself will shoot him.”

Macdonald recognized the men by their voices, called a halt, and sternly ordered the culprits to step out from the ranks. Facing them, he cried. ‘‘Now you are the men who are going to shoot me inthe next fight. Why wait so longr Why not do it now? Here I am shoot me—if you dare !”

The rebels grounded their arms in sullen silence.

“Why don’t you shoot ?” asked their colonel.

‘Because you don’t seem to care whether you die or not,” and that re- luctant answer explained the secret of Macdonald’s power over half-savage soldiers. There was no,more grumb- ling, and the same men, and others like them, followed him | devotedly through the battles of Gemizah, Toski, Afafit, Ferkeh, Atbara and Omdur man.

Many stories are told of his ways of dealing with his excitable ard child- like Soudanese battalions, and in the annonymous “Soudan Campaign,” just published by Chapman and Hall, is a new one.

“Afterthe Abu Hamed fight, Colonel MacDonald had soundly rated the men

who began the independent firing widest orders. Well, one night at Berber, Colonel McDonald while sleep- ing, as usual, in the court-yard round his hut, was woke up by a black soldier prope rly dressed in drill order without arms. When asked what he wanted, he said: “My battalion is very sorry that you are angry with them for firing without orders at Abu Hamed, but we know best what to do: we have been fighting since we were boys, we know the best way to turn them out of a place ; so just you leave things to us, and we'll pull you through !’

‘The black then turned about, and was out side the courtyard before Col-

onel Macdonald recovered from his surprise and exploded.” Though he has been through so

many actions, though the scream of

shell and the whirr of the Maxim are | mere commonplace to him, Brigadier- |

General Macdonald is rather a retiring man, and when once asked what it felt like to bein the midst of battle, he quietly and characteristically answered, “T don’t think you feel anything in par- ticular.”

A brave man McDonald’s record proves him to be, but that not enough for the present military situation in South Africa. No one doubts the courage of our officers out there, but some of them have blindly

sort of a man wanted in South Africa : | “Had the brilliant, the splendid deed | of arms wrought by Macdonald been | done under the eyes ofa sovereign, or | in some other armies, he had surely been created a general on the spot.” As commander of the fine Highland Brigade which so recently and so sad-

ly lost the gallant General Wauchope,

Macdonald will have a large and splendid sphere of action before him.
