THE SECOND P. E, 1. CONTIN- GENT.

Geo. McKENZiz.

Once more the stirring voice of war Peals out as loud and shrill,

As Highland pibroch sounding far O’er Scottish dale and hill.

More men from Canada’s fair shore, Whom none can bravery teach,

Must cross the pathless ocean o’er To fill the bloody breach.

’

Fill up the broken ranks again ! Fill them with men of steel ! More Island boys’ must cross main, More hearts, fierce an-uish feel.

What matter ? are we not a part Of Britan’s mighty rea’m ? The loyalty that fills each heart Can any love o’erwhelm ?

We are no petty colony Ruled by a tyrants rod ; No servile whimperving slaves are | we, Who live on British sod.

Go forth, then, noble volunteers. “Quick march across the plain,

To aid your brother Islanders, Avenge the loved ones slain.

Our prayers ascend to God, that He Ye safely home may guide,

Flushed with most glorious victory, And honor by thy side.

The last shot was fired at 7.30 p. m. This morning not a Boer was to be seen. The prisoners belonged to Pre- sident Kruger’s own commando.

THE HERO OF MAFEKING.

There is probably no man more popular in England to-day then Baden- Powell, the defender of Mafeking. By his friends, whose name is legion, he is usually called “B.-P.” The man in the street, though he has now learned to call a kopje a koppi and knows that Mafeking is pronounced Maffyking, is still at fault when he speaks of his favorite hero. One generally hears the Baden pronounced as though it were the famous German watering-place, and often the ‘w’ in Powell is over- looked. His school nick.name

the vowels their proper sounds.

Baden-Powell is so versatile that he seems to charm all with whom he comes in contact. He was famous as an actor long before he was as a_ sol- dier. When in India, whispers that he was going to act in the ‘‘Area Belle,” or one of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, travelled with amazing rapidity from station to station, and every per- formance in which he took part wasat tended by all the Europeans for miles around.

A few months after the siege of Kan- dahar he arranged for a_ performance of “Patience,” in that barbarous ciiv, making himself responsible for the en- tire management. ‘The dresses were excellent, the stage and scenery were

BOERS USED THE HELIOGRAPH, BUT

THE TRICKWAS DISCOVERED.

The storming of Alexander's kop by the Welsh was a particularly fine piece ef work. The mobility of the Boers in moving their guns was very remark- able The new South Wales Mounted Infantry made a gallant «nd successful attempt to capture a gun. According to the latest reports, another engage- ment is not improbable.

The Morning Post's correspondent at Dreifontein, telegraphing recently, | says:—lhe enemy at empted with heliograph to lure us to occupy a kopje which they held, but detecting the de- ception, we returned.

A despatch te the Daily Mail from Aasvogel kop dated Sunday, March 11,

ays:—

lhe white flag treachery was pe:

sonally witnessed at Driefontein by Lord Roberts, who was looking throuzh a telescope when the Welsh were charging, and saw the Boers hold

UD their

hands, show the flag and aq crop the

r guns. He saw an English oficer advance to receive the surrend- er, whereupon a Boer ¥ riley was fired and the officer fell.”

Gen. Broadwood, with dogged per- severance, moved altogether six miles soutaward, trying to find a means to vet round. but the Boers foHowed be- mnd rising ground, and even attempt-

good, and the opera was received with intense enthusiasin ; and there was not

a single European woman there ; all

the dresses and costumes were the work of Baden-Powell, who himself ap- peared in the character of Ruth.

“ As a lecturer on military subjects,’ a correspondent writes in the Pall Mall Gazette, “ Baden-Powell is very nearly as popular as he is an actor. ‘The fol-

lowing story attests his hold over the)

men as an instructor. He was deliver- ing a course of lectures somewhere in Ireland, and the room had always been crowded with soldiers, noticeable amiong whem was a very smart, intelli- gent young sergeant. Toward the close of the series Baden-Powell was astenished one day to find this sergeant

brought before him charged with drunkenness. ‘ Whatever} made you get drunk ? he asked. ‘Well sir, I got to your lecture last night,’ said the sergeant, ‘and the room wasfull, and I couldn’t get in, so of course I had to get drunk.’ There was no artfulness in the excuse ; the than had never been known to get drunk in his life.

“Mention of scouting touches the most picturesque side of Baden- Powell’s character. There is nothing he loves more than ranging over the world discovering the weak spots in the armor of our enemies. If the story of Baden-Powell as a scout ever comes to be written in detail, it will astonish the world. Here, for obvious reasons, it is impossible to do more than suggest, and no mention can be made of nations and places. The fol. lowing story will explain what we mean. At the manceuvres of one of the great armies while the accredited representatives of the British army were watching everything by the side of the officer commanding, Baden- Powell, perfectly disguised, was mov- ing about at the back of the army, see- ing things that were not intended for foreign eyes. It was entirely on his own initiative that he went, but the re- port he sent to the Horse Guards of these manceuvres—and there were use- ful details about other things, such as forts—is said by a very high authority to be one of the mest perfect things in its way that ever reached the War Office. He is forever wandering over ihe globe, oftentimes quite alone, storing up in his mind knowledge of the most advanced European nations and the most backward of African tribes. In 1885 he made a reconnais- sance, unaccompanied, of 600 miles of Natal frontier in twenty days. He was the intelligence officer in the Zulu operations of 1887, and was mentioned in despatches. A year later he was acting as secretary to the British Com- mission to Swaziland. He probably knows more about Ashanti than any other European; and there is very little about Continental armies that Baden-Powell Goes not know. Whbher- ever he goes his mind is at work, and it is almost as difficult for him to lock at a man and not know all about him as it was for Sherlock Holmes, whom, by the way, he greatly admires.

whatever be the will of the Free-Staters these indomitable independents with the same grim determination and reli- gious fervor of Oliver Cromwell and of the Scottish Covenanters will contest the issue to the bitter end. Any other | course of events would, to his mind, be opposed to the whole history of the | race. |

Of the sincerity and deeply religious | nature of President Kruger and his | burghers, Principal Grant has nota, shadow of a doubt. Paul Kruger, he says, is misunderstood to-day as | Oliver Cromwell was misunderstood | by his own people, for two long centuries. The whole history of the Transvaal Boers with their iron will for freedom and rigid adherence to the religious creeds and observations of two centu- ries satisfied him that Kruger and his people are to-day living in the seven- teenth century. It may be difficult | for the world et to-day to understand what this means. Our forefathers were ; unable to understand the like beliefs | of the Puritan fathers, but be this as it may, Principal Grant is emphatic in his conviction that Kruger is no hypocrite, but is convinced that God is on his side and that the reverses to his arms of the last few weeks is but the chastening hand of God for the cverconfidence and boasting ot his burghers. To combat enthusiasm like this, and a mind so made up, will be @ matter of a few days’ fighting,and the British Gevernment is, in his mind, doomed to certain disappointment if it looks for any such eventuality.

But while prepared to throw this mantle of charity over the spirit of President Kruger and his burghers, he cannot so lightly pass over the methods of men like Leyds and Reitz, who have been the grim Mephistopheles cf the situation. The Orange Free State, as its history proves, and as its part in the present campaign shows, is composed of a population wholly different from that of the South African | Republic, and will eppose no such firm set barriers to British rule. One great lesson of this conflict for the out- side world is the ease with which the point of natural advantage may be held by comparatively small garrisons against overwhelming odds, which would tend to show that Canada her- self might be much more easily guard- ed against invasion than most of us
