would find him in the Queen’s uniform, a0 at the head of the Highland Bri-- gade.

walls, writing from Orange River camp | to his parents at Plymo uth, gives some pathetic details. Hesays: ‘We have sent several train loads of Boers as prisoners to Cape Town, and now we have got 50 more here to send on. I went to Cape Town with a party of 23 Boers. They seem a decent lot of men and in fact could not do too mucli for the six of us who were forming their escort. Why, they must have spent quite £12 on us. But they seemed very glad to be taken prisoners and thorou ighly sick of the*war. Among ie prisoners we have one boy—a Boer boy.. The poor little fel- low is not more than 12 years of age,

and has been fighting. He has had | both legs broken and shet through.

It’s very pathetic, but what a pity itis to see the poor little chap suffering! You bet he is being well attendet to by us. His father was killed in the ,same engagement. He has a brother still fighting.”

According to a membe r of the garri- son, Ladysmith’s new name is ‘“Lady- white.”
