ATTACK ON GAMETREE

British Lost Heavily on an Attack a Impregnable Boer Fort Near Mafeking The L limes publishes the : despatch from Mafeking dat-

d lec. 26:

nao

{Oo low |

‘At dawn to-day Col.-Baden Powell organized an unsuccesstul attack upon

a strong position of the enemy at Gametree, two miles from Mafeking,

from which the Boers have been main- taining a desolutory but annoying shell and rifle fire for several weeks. The railway has recently been constructed between the town and Gametree, where the Boers had destroyed it, the final re- pairs being made in preparation for the sortie.

“During the night the armored train with Maxim and Hotchkiss guns, under Captain Williams, and troops

| took up positions for attack from two Captain Lord Bentick and a squadron were in reserve upon the left while the extreme left wing was occupi- ed by artillery under Major Panzera ,anda galloping Maxim ef the Cape | police. ,

“Emplacements were thrown up during the night, the orders being to | attack at dawn and the artillery fire | to desist upon prolonged tooting trom | the armored train. At daybreak the | guns opened fire and rapidly drew the reply of the enemy, our shells bursting within effective range. Captain Vernon gave the signal to cease firing and to advance, his squadron leading off.

“As our men engaged the position with their rifle fire, it was soon found that the strength of the fort was greater than we had suppesed. The enemy concentrated such an exceedingly hot fire that the advance ef Captain Vernen was almost impossible, but with remark- able heroism and gallantry Captains Sanford and Vernon, Lieut. Paton and Scout Cooke, who guided the squadrons, and a few men actually reached the sand bags of the fort with- in 300 yards of the area of the fort.

“But nothing living could exist there, since the ground was swept by bullets. The men who charged through this zone of fire suffered terribly, and in following their officers to capture the fort twenty men lost their lives. Cap- tain Sanford was the first to fall, and Captain Vernon already twice wound— ed, and Lieut. Paten were killed at the foot of the fort. These two officers, climbing a ditch which surrounded the fort, thrust their revolvers through the enemys loopholes, only to be shot themselves the next moment.

‘‘Gametree is surrounded with scrnb, which contained many sharpshooters, and their accuracy of fire still further confused the men who had follewed Captain Vernen aad whosaw him and his brother officers killed. Being with- out commanders they were driven off at one point, but they endeavored to scale the fort at others. They found the position of the Beers, however, al- most impregnable.

“When we retited urder cover of the armored train so masy men had been wounded that a suspension ef hostili- ties eccurred under the auspices of the Red Cross. The veldt around the Boer position was at once dotted with flags of mercy, and it was seen that eur wounded were scattered within but a short radius of the tert. We had al- most cempletely surrounded it, and had it hot been so extraordinarily well protected we should have been in pos- session.

“I went with an ambulance to Game- tree. The fort itself is circular, with a wide interior and a narrow frontage, between six and seven feet high, pierc- ed with triple tiers ot loopholes and sur- rounded by a ditch.

“T was permitted to assist in dressing

the wounds, a majority of which ap peared to have been caused by explo- sive bullets, the peint of entry being small, but the area of injury covering a wide region. While the wounded were heing attended, numbers of Boers left their entrenchments and gathered round. At the conclusion ofthe dres-

concerned these had been recalled.

“Later on I called the attention of the field cornet to four of his own men who were rifling dead bodies. He ex- pressed his regret to a British officer that despite his instructions to respect the dead the younger Boers were un- ruly and beyond his control; and he accused the British soldiers of strip- ping Gen. Kock and leaving him _ nak- ed and wounded on the ,field, thus in- directly causing his death.”

The Londen correspondent of the. New York Commercial writes: Not, since British troops fought against. Napoleon in Spain—a struggle that | laid a far greater strain upon the! resources of England and brought far | darker days than has this war—have) Englishmen been se justly proud of the} rank and file of their army and of their | subalterns. That is the side that they turn to the werld. At the same time, | they are keenly and deeply disillusion- | ed as to the control, the organization, the training, and and the adaptability of their array and the military capacity, beyond pluck, of too many of its offi- cers. It and they bave been prepar— ing to fight while the rest of Europe has been cultivating the art ef war. That is the side that Englishmen would keep to themselves. Careless as are democracies, quickly as the lessons of defeat pass into the forgetful- ness of victory, it is difficult not to be- lieve that the end of this war will bring a far-reaching and deep-going reorgan- ization of British military method and perhaps a just meeting of praise and blame to those that have been respon— sible for the conduct of the present struggle. All that, however, belongs te the future. For the moment, it is enough, at least for the foreign observer, to watch a community that bears un- expected defeat so calmly and resolute- ly, and that sets about the repairing of it, not with divided criticism and com- plaint, but with united resolution and self-sacrifice.

It is an interesting fact that Col. Pilcher’s wife’s sister is Maud Gonne, the so-called “Irish Joan ef Arc.”
