I ought to tell you here that our force con- sisted of one cavalry regiment the 18th Hussars; four infantry bat- talions, the Leicestershires, Wing's Royal Rifles, Irish Fusiliers, and our own Dublins: and three batteries of field artiller When the guns had

didly and silenced their arti?'lery, our infantry moved up to the attack and ! commenced to storm Taiani MHill. The Boers were at the top and had an almost impregnable position. The hill was nearly a precipice towards the top, and the enemy were hidden behind the rocks and boulders, with which that part of the hill was cov ered. Our fellows had very littl cover, a stonewall and a wood thes got into, but had to 1dvance up through them. They got rly to the top, but there it Was ry cast i clinbing up two or three at a time on hands and knees And as the Boers were. not then sutticiently shaken for us to advance the infan- try were stopped and taken back, and the artillery opened fire again for some time. Then the infantry again advanced and the Boers re-

treated down the other side of the hill without Waiting to close with our infantry. They then showed a

and instead of collecting their wounded, as Was the ostensible cause of the use of coo" white flag, they retreated altogether and we did not fire on them again. It was the most fatal mistake, as it is a very ol? dodge af the Boers to show a

Ail this time I was patrolling on the Newcastie road, and had a rae ther exciting time of my own. I had 12 men and We ran straight into the arms of two parties of Boers who | were going around ‘‘Impati’’ from the other side. There were about 150 of them, I should think, so we had to. open out and gallop away out of

range and then report this. an enormous quantity of rounds us, but did not hurt anybody, tunately. Rather lucky, as their bul- lets Were pinging about our ears and into the ground under’ our horses’ legs; a nasty noise they made, too! That was my first experience of be- ing under fire. We met five or six of the 18th Hussars, just as We got fairly well out of range. Ve all Went back together by a roundabout way after a bit, and saw those chaps aguin, but did not’ go close.

I am sorry to say our losses were heavy. Poor General Penn Symons

was mortally wounded, and all his staff but one were killed or wound- ed. The Rifles’ losses are heavy. We lost our whole Mounted Infantry Company except myself and my pa- trol. They went out to pursue the enemy and must have been cut off, as they did not come back. We heard last night they had been taken pris- oners; that is, Lonsdale Le Messur- ier, Gardice, Grimshaw and S8O men. I do hope that they are prisoners and not cut up. Well, it was a glorious victory! Four thousand Boers armed With the newest rifles (Mausers) with lots of ammunition, driven out of a far stronger position than Majuba, by two thousand men ‘of<ours That wipes out Majuba completely, I think, and everybody out here thinks so, too.

as possible, I should think. Shelled by a ‘*‘Long Tom.’”’

HISTORICAL DE AAR.

It Was Originat)y Named Brounger After

an English Engineer.

De Aar Junction has become histor- ical and the account which a corres- pondent gives of the origin of the name is, therefore, specially interest- ing. If appears that, according to the custom then prevailing in South Africa, it was originally called Bro- unger, after an engineer Who was

Cape Assembly objected to the name, as being British, and the Government

of the dav consented to change it to the name of the farm on which it was situated Few things could show more clearly to what a depth British influence had declined under that surrender. THE PRIV ATE,
