CAPTURED A BOER. CORPORAL FRAWLEY, OF HALIFAX, CAUGHT ONE OF OOM PAUL’S MEN.
Though the Toronto company was | the first of the Canadian contingent to- go into real action in South Africa and | company H. was left behind, a letter, recently received in Halifax shows | that one of the first Boer captures | made by the Canadians was by a Hal- ifax boy, Corporal William Frawley. The facts of the capture are contained in a private letter to his family in Hal- ifax. The following are extracts from the letter which are dated Belmont, December 13:
“Wehad plenty of experiences on the trip out if I had the time ,te write of them; but we do not know what moment we may be called ont, as we now are inthe enemy’s country and the only regiment within twelve miles Last night was the first night I turned in for four nights and then had only four hours rest, as we turned out again atz a. m., in expectation of an at- tack,
“Thad charge of an Gutpost three miles from camp since Sunday morn- ing last and only returned last night. My party consisted of three men, two signal men and myselt, and it kept us on the qui vive all the time, as Boer scouts abound and try every means to get withia our lines for information.
“We have taken quite a few prison- ers, mostly Kaffirs but I had the luck yesterday morning to makea capture that may be important. Just before daylight I was on my way to see if the sentries were awake and at their posts and when coming around the foot of a hill I almost stumbled over a horse all saddled. I knew the rider would not be far away, so I got under cover and was rewarded in a few minutes by seeing the outline of a man coming to- wards the horse, I waited until he got in the saddle and drawing a straight bead on him called ‘halt,’ at the same assuring him that I would shootif he did not. He threw up his hands and I brought him to post, where he was relieved of a rifle, revolverand knife. I brought him into my camp last night. He would not account for himself. One of our scouts last night saw him and says he is a Boer scout.
THE UNARMED VICTIMS OF WAR.
Not soldiers alone are putto the test in time of war, as it is shown by the report that three British subjects were shot im the market square at Har- rismith, for refusing te bear arms for the Boers. When the history of this war is written, there will probably be some black chapters in which will be recorded the treatment of non-com- batants by the Beers. During the heat of the strife we are disposed to feel some doubt of the accuracy of the news that comes regarding Boer But that three good Brit-
particular credit to be gained, should stand eut and be shot on the market square, rather than seem to take sides with the enemies of the people, is an instance of devotion and fortitude that should not escape the notice of those foreign critics, who say the Britisher lacks sentiment. No man is more willing to die for an idea than he, if he can but take self-approval with him.
HOW HORSES FARE IN BATTLE.
We hear very littleof the loess of horses in battle, says the Golden Penny, although it is a fact that the slaughter of horses is enormous, and entails doubtless many hours of intense agony upon them. The slaughter of nature of the fight. In the case of a war in which part the horses, effering a large target,
short and sharp hand-to-hand en- counter the loss of horses and men would be nearly equal. In the Pen- insular war there were many
160 men. At Talavera there fell 290 horses aud 240 men. The slaughter of horses at Fontenoy was appalling, for no less than 625 _ were lost, while only 311men were killed. In that famous mistake, the Balaclava charge
Britain and the
(to 1799 the loss and disablement of | horses was 150 for each too men. From 1800 to 1865 the _ proportion was in calvary 120 horses to 100
} men, and in artillery 133 horses to 100
men; while from 1866 to 1871 the relative numbers were, for cavalry 140 horses to 100 men, and for artillery 133 horses to soo men. By omitting the disastrous Austrian retreat of 1866, the average would work out at 112. horses to 100 men.”
WHY £0 MANY ENGLISH OFFI- GERS ARE KILLED BY THE BOERS.
At one o clock this morning the fly- ing column begam marching out of camp. ‘The men carried nothing but their arms, their water bottles, and a water-proof rug and blanket for each. The officers were similarly equipped, actually cariying rifles, so that they can be in no way distinguished from the men. Something must be done to re- duce the terrible mortality of officers experienced in the first two fights in Natal. In reality, the high percentage of officers killed is due to the fact that they must of necessity expose them-- selves more than the men under their command, and with the enormous amount of lead poured into an advanc- ing force by the modern magazine rifle, the officers who are standing up to direct their men run a tremendous risk of being hit. In small skirmishes, how- ever, it is possible thathe good rifle- shots on either side can pick their men carefully, so that the absence of a dis- tinctive mark may proveto be of value to officers. In any case there can be no harm in making the experi-- ment of arming them with rifles, though inthe long run their losses are not likely to decrease te any extent. It is one of the myths of war that the enemy pick off officers, just as it is a common legend that the enemy, whether he be
fide], is in thehabit of aiming at wound- edmen and using explosive bullets.— From ‘The Frst Stage of the Boer War, by H. J. Whigham, in the Feb- ruary Scrivner s.
HEALTH OF CANADIAN REGI- MENT.
Mr. W. Richmond Smith, writing to The Star says: The health of the regi- ment on the whole since its arrival in South Africa has been remarkably good, considering the tremendous cli-- matic changes througk which t e men have come. Nearly all the cases in hospital since our arrival in Belmont been of tonsilitis, which I understand from the natives is epidemic in this part of the country at this season of the year. The days are ti:ghtfully hot and the nights uncomfortably cool. The result is very heavy dew, which is par- ticularly hard on those of the men who have to spend the entire night out in the open on guard and picket duty. I went through the hospital yesterday with Surgeen-Major Wilson. There are three cases of tonsilitis, two of which are convalseing and one pretty serious. The othei inmates are suffering from minor complaints which though weak- ening are not dangerous ; considering what the regiment has come through since we sailed frem Quebec the aver- age good health of the Regiment is re-
been two deaths, but that is a small average death rate in a regiment of over one thousand, subjected all the time tothe most tremendous changes of climate, food and occupation.

few discomforts, such as the brown color of our drinking-water and an oc- casional flight of locusts, we must ad- mit that the veldt, with its level space and bracing air, is almost ideal field for campaigning. And even the storms of dust, rain, and locusts are welcome in moderation, for they are features of the country which go to make up a full experience of life in South Africa. In one week there have been two rain- storms and one flight of locusts. There is certainly no hardship in that ; indeed, the rain 1s most welcome, for it cools the air and helps to lay the dust.— From “The First Stage of the Boer War,” by H. J. Whigham, in the Feb- ruary Scribner’s

Cecil Rhodes’ sister is next to Olive Schreiner, the most interesting woman in South Africa to-day. Her eccentricities are numerous, and she is as tamed for her dislike of men as is her brother for his of women. She is so decidedly of the masculine type as to at once attract atteation. In com- plexion and manner she closely re- sembles the English squire of sporting prints, and she has been endowed with a voice to titarch. Indeed there is no- thing feminifie about her except her deference to the social cenventionalities in always having @ Woman companion in close attendance upon her. As she has an ample fortune, many _peculiar- ities are forgiven her, while her impul- sive generosity wins her many friends On bward a steamer going down to Cape Town recently she regulated the handicaps for the running matches, umpired the chicken fights, and was particulerly active in inciting to extra- ordinary efforts the contestants in a tug of war. Her Home Groot Schur, is a beautiful country place near Cape- Town, whereshe has madea zoolegi- cal collectien which includes almost every wild animal native to South Africa. She has a better unce-standing of the politics and statecraft of South Africa tham many a member of the Colenial Office. Of course her views are the exact opposite of these of Olive Schreiner, the Boers’ champion.
The Montreal Gazette remarks that Captain C. A. Hensley, of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, is the second gradu- ate of the Canadian Military College to meet his death in the South African
"war, and the fafta cf the college’s sons
to die while doing his duty in the Dark Continent Besides those who have gone with the Canadian treops,there are something like a hundred Canadian officers on service with the army in South Africa, in this matter Canada gives morethan any of the colonies. It is our warin a real sense.
