Nearly all the entrenchments were partially filled up with earth. The final day’s bombardment was of so continuously teriffic a character that the enemy found the task of carrying away their dead an impossible one, and hence some of the trenches were utilized as graves, and four weeks rain and sun have had their effect on many of these burial places.

The Boer guns had been ingenious- ly protected from our fire. One large tree showed a hole cut in it big enough to point a cannon through while it _fir- ed.

Our gunners, therefere experienced the greatest difficulty under such conditions in locating the enemy’s guns. Once discovered, however they were soon compe'led to retire.

I ceunted, dangerously near the Creusot embrasure, twenty-nine lyddite shells, every one of which must have proved effective. Shells of all sizes are still to be found scattered over the battlefields. Pa ee 5 an

The deserted laagers have undergone great changes, and all marks of the | Boers’ presence have disappeared, ex- | cept the loathsome odour of decaying

horses. Millions of large maggot flies are around, and they cling to the laager sites, more numerous than the scourge which followed the rinderpest in Natal four years ago.

Passing toward the Tugela_ river |from the summit of the trenches, } every step I trod was sacred ground. | Here our skirmishers had attached ' many tiny forts, built up with stones, | and large enough for one man to take cover in. They were horseshoe shaped, so as to protect the occupant both from enfilading and front fire.

From these stone castles the enemy} incessantly kept up on that memor- able Saturday, Feb 24, a terrible fusilade. and our brave fellows lay until Majuba day all the time sub jected to the enemy’s rifle and Creuso fire. The gallant Tommies refused to retire, and left their cover to attaci and capture the high frontal positions

Never were such glorious feats o! ‘arms performed, never was a more praiseworthy victory won.

WITH THE BOERS.

Bennet Burleigh writes as follows to

the London Daily Telegraph — Through the kindness of Captain W. N. Congreve, V. C., who was wound ed an Colenso, and is now here, on

General Stevenson‘s staff, I have pro-

cured the following narrative of Trooper Hassock, eof Kitchener’s Horse. Hassock was captured before

the action of February 18, and de- tained in the Boer laager. He says:—

“T was sent on Saturday evening, February 17, by Lieutenant Buchanan to work my way up the Modder river, along which he had been scouting. I was to look for the rest of the troops, from whem we had been separated. I suddenly found myself in the middle

hidden amongst the bushes, and tried to retire. A volley was fired at me,

me, we rolled together into the river. Luckily, at that spot it was not very deep. extricated me, then took my bando-- lier and equipment and made me a prisoner. We then went tothe drift and where their laager was. before Commandant Cronje, asked me our strength and movements. On my replying that I was only a trooper, and did not know, he said, *Oh, never mind; if you don’t want to tell me, I shall not try to make you.’ A guard was then placed over me and we stayed the night in the laager. I should say there were about 6,000 Dutchman all told, and forty women and children. A great many among them were Irishmen, a few Scotch-- men; in short, almost every nation was more or less numerously repre-- sented.”

BULLER PRAISES HIS MEN.

The London Morning Post prints the following extract from a private letter written by Gen. Buller on Marca 3rd, paying a tribue to the operations

EAK AND.... PUNY CHILDREN

Become Strong and Healthy by using Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food.

Children are frequently left weak and sickly as an after result of measles, scarlet fever, etc., and in this state are easy prey to nervous disorders, rickets, spinal disease, or consump- tion, diseases which do not affect robust, healthy childzen.

The blood is weak and watery and the nerves improperly nourished. Feed the blood and merves with Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food, and the pale, pinched faces will soon become

and plump, and tiredness and weakness an ane way to strength and animation,

Mr. E. W, Day, 62 Close Avenue, Toronto, writes: ‘‘My eldest daughter, aged eight, be- came very much rum down. Her fretful, ner- vous, sleepless condition greatly alarmed her parents. She was taken from school, and in spite of the best nursing, the thin, weakened, bloodless face grew painfully worse. Fortun- ately we used Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. An improvement became apparent ina few days, it continued, and in a few weeks she returned to school built up anew, and greatly to our joy fully restored to health.”

More than 5,o0@ tons of supplies for the English army in South Africa, and a large number of mules, started for Cape ‘Town the 12th in the British steamer Clan Robertson. In the consignment was 27,000 bales of hay to be landed at Cape Town. Considerable staple articles consigned to private firms, both at Delagoa Bay and Beira are known to beaboard the ship, but their ultimate destination cannot be foreshadowed. So far as can be ascertained, no powder or guns into the vessel. One of the customs offcials attached to the At-- lantic docks said teday that the Clan Robertson had been watched by men
