CAPTAIN C. A. HENSLEY

ieee

HIS LIFE FOR QUEEN AND}

COUNTRY. (Halifax Herald.)

At the very opening of the war Cap- tain Hensley participated in several

| fierce fights with the Boers, and dis=

guished himself by his bravery and coolness in action, and had many nar- row escapes—his comrades being shot down all around him. This was not- ably the case at the battle of Talana Hill on October the 2oth, a thrilling ac- count of which appeared in The Hali- fax Herald of January 15th. He passed unscratched through the earlier actions of the war in Natal, enly to succumb to mortal wounds received in the fierce fighting which took place on Saturday. Like Lieutenant Wood, he was every inch a soldier, and his death, just when the tide of suceess was turn- ing to the British side, will be a great disappointment and a seurce of deep sorrow to those in Halifax, who knew and esteemed him so highly for his many fine qualities of head and heart. Deep and wide spread sympathy will go out to his bereaved wife and par- ents and relatives in Halifax, for the fact that he died a soldier’s death do-~ ing his duty to Queen and country does not lessen the deep sense of bereayment which death always in- volves.

SPEARMAN’S CamP, Natal, Jan. 22.— Captain Hensley, of the Dublin Fusi- liers, fell mortally wounded while lead- ing his mem to seize a fresh point of vantage.

NATIVE OF CHARLOTTETOWN,

Captain Charles A Hensley, the son of Mr. Albert Hensley, of Halifax, was born in Charlottetown September 1865. His grandfather on his father’s side, was the late Commander Charles Hensley, R. N. who, after his retire- ment from the navy, resided for some years in Prince Edward Island. On his mother’s side, his grandfather was the late Stephen W. Deblois of Halifax, well knowm as the senior partner in the firm of Deblois and Merkei, West India merchants.

HIS SCHOOL DAYS.

While a boy he resided for a shert time with his parencs in Wolfville and attended school there. Afterwards he became a student at the Collegiate school, Windsor, where he remained for four years. Then he entered the Royal Military College, Kingston, tak- ing a three years’ course. At the close of his third year at college he was of- offered and accepted a commission in the imperial service, and was appoint- ed lieutenant in the Royal Dublin Fu- siliers. This was in September, 1885. Four years ago, while with his regiment in India, he was promoted to the rank of captain,

THE YOUNG SHIKARI

On account of his skill as a hunter of wild animals and a slayer of tigers, in the regiment, “the young shikari,’"—the Young hun- ter. He was an exceedingly good shot, his fine marksmanship having become well known before he left Halifax. An exhibition of a tiger’s and twe panthers, heads, which was recently made in the windows of Coieman’s fur store in this city, were trophies of his prowess in the Indian jungle.

THE FIGHT AT TALANA HILL.

Describing the night at Talana Hill Captain Hensley said :

We argued about their being Boers, and I said to Bird, our commanding officer, “the first thing we know will be the sing of a shell into camp.” I had hardly got the words out of my mouth when a puff of smoke came from the side ofthe hill, and a shell

The men had fallen in by this time, and I gave my company the order to double out and lie down on the ground away from the tents, as they served as targets to the ¢némy, and drew the fire. The shells were coming in pretty thick then. No sooner had I done this than every company in the battallion did the same, and formed quarter column which was of course worse than being near the tents, so I moved again. I have found that in the time of fight, where one goes the rest will follow, just like a flock of sheep. However,

whilst we in the infantry, that 1s in the '

g7th, 6oth, and ourselves, (the Leicest- ers being kept back to protect the camp from a flank attack with one battery), advanced through the town, and got into a river bed parailel to the Boers pesition, and about 1,200 yards trom it. Our guns then moved up closerand engaged the enemy. The shooting was magnificent, and at the end of half anhovr a shell from one of our guns burst just under a creasot gun the Boers had, (a Maxim Nordenfeldt), the men called it the barking gun, as itsounds just like a dog. Well the shell burst immediate- ly under it, and I happened to be look- ing that way through my glasses at the time, and it seemed to rear right up on its trail and turn over backwards.

We left the river bed as I have said at 7.25 a. m., four paces between files in quicktime. Iwas one of the lead- ing companies. As soon as we came out of the river, the

BULLETS BEGAN TO BUZZ. We had a green field 400 yards across, as open and flat as a cricket pitch, to march over, before we could get any cover. Half way across wasa barbed wire fence, and the Boers had got the range of that and made things pretty hot. Wehad to cutthe wire. I had a small pair of cutters and was cutting and trying to cut the wire, stooping down, my color sergeant standing just behind me_ holding the wire, I_ think, when a bullet hit the toe of my boot and another man dropped close by. So Imade them all climb over the top and then we went ata steady double tothe edge of the wood, 200 yards, where there was another wire fence witha small stone wall on the far side. We lay underthe_ wall for five minutes, the man on my right was

and the bullets were whizzing all about us. When we found it was the beastly hill which was enfilading us, we made arush through the wood,andit was most weird, heating the bullets zipping through the leaves of the trees, On the far side of the wood was a Jow stone wall and we lined that and opened fire for the first time at 600 o1 zoo yards. We remained there for some time and then the word came to advance. I was the left company, and the two lines of advance were on the left by a nullah, and on the right a stone wali, which protected them from the Maxim on the right hill, and most of the eoane was dead from the top of the hill. ‘Those who went up along the wall formed up under cover ot it, it being three feet high, and ran parallel to the Boer position, about 100 yards from it and protect- ed partly by a bend of the hill. had the bad luck to get under the nullah, hada bad time of it, as it proved a regular death trap. The Boers evidently had thought it would prove one of the points of our attack,
