'MORE LETTERS FROM AFRICA

Interesting News From the Island Boys,

ALL ARE WELL AND IN EXCEL- LENT SPIRITS.

What They Have Been Doing Since

Arrival at Cape Town.

By last evening’s mai! another batch of letters arrrived from the Island boys in South Africa. The letters are interesting, and the extracts Tae Examiner has been privileged to make will, we are eure be eagerly read.

Mrs. McRae, of Pownal, has received the following letter from her son :—

On board train between Cape Towa aid the front Dec. 2nd, 1899:—

My Dsar Mortuer,—Since I laat wrote you we have landed, and are hurrying to the front. The Maxim Squad may go abead of the rest, as we are the right arm of the regiment.

Iam going in with a stout heart and good spirits, and jwill stand as good a chance as any oue of getting through safely, and ifI die it will be in good company, and a better cause.

Before this reaches you the most of the war will be over and the result known.

We gct a great reception all through Cape Colony. I had lots of presents given me by ladies whoare going t3 Write | to you. lam with a fine crowd of fellows and | am having a great time.

Great eusthusiasm now exisis—the | Boera are being routed on every hand. | The British army organization is per-

a A SE

Last night I saw the southern cross and now the sua is just setting, making the most beautiful sight | ever saw. I intend ed sending home more letters and papers, but cannot equeezeout the time. You

| can tell anyoue that complains tv take the | will for the deed. I sent abont forty | papers. Ifthe news should reach heme | that “‘a soldier in a foreign land is dead” | don’t fret as tuere never was &@ more just czuse. Your affectionate son, FRep.

The following interesting Jetter from a lady resident near Cape Town to Mrs. Mc~ Rae (Fred MeRae’s mother) explains it- self :

! Sank Corrace, Church Street, Wellington, C. C., Dec. 2, 1899.

De«r Mrs. MoRat,—No doubt you wil] | be surprised at receiving « letter froma perfect stranger and will wonder who is tue correspondent.

Haying given your son to help us in South Africa you can imagine bow pleased and proud Iam to write ycu these few lines to tell you he is quite well. Io fac: the whole contingent were in eplendid nealth snd condition. Unfertunately they lost one of their men on the voyage,

We live about one and a half miles from the station, in aemall town on the line of route to the north,and we ge to the station on every possible occasion to meet the brave mea who have come so gallantly to our aid in this time of sore need.

On Friday, the lst December, we heard the Canadian contingent was to pass, £0 went to welcome them. It was a grand eight, I can a+sure you. They arrived about half-past four in the afternoon, were detrained, marched to an open space at the back of the station and par- ‘ook of refreshments. We were only toe pleased to be allowed to talk toour brave brother colonists from the far away land. Ou asking if there were any who would like letiers written for them, we knew their time wae sbort and fully occupied, one said : “I would like youto write to my mother,” and gave me your address ; be hoped you would get it by New Year’s, but as we only have one mail per week to England I can’t post this till the 5th December.

Dear madam, you will be pleased to hear that the men all looked very well and, hearty, and so bronzed. We had a pleasant chat with many,—all were anxious for the latest news of the war, and desircus of getting to active work.

I would not have miseed meeting them for a good deal. Many told us they were most heartily welcomed in Cape Tewn ; aud a friend informed us that the Queen's Jubilee crowds were nothing com pared with the vast numbers who west to wel- come the eolosial a Zealanders, Australians and anadians ; they arrived in the order as 1 have placed them. ; :

I have two dear brothere im business io the Transvaal and have not heard of or from them since the 5th of October.

Although not a mother I can in # meas» ure feel deep sympathy with you that our dear ones are exposed to danger.

God grant that pease with honour may soon be proclaimed.

You koow the Transvaal Government

ee

hurried on matters by their impudent ultimatum to the Imperial Government and the war was commenced while Kag- land was «till trying to make terme of peace. The Free Staters entered the towns of the colony and behaved disgrace- fully, giving the inhabitants, at the mort, twenty-four hours to quit if they would not join the rebels. Tkousands of poor creatures are homeless, having lost every- thing. The Uitlanders were given notice to quit Johannesburg within a given time. Many thousands of women and children were compelled to travel in open trucks 4 journey of over one thousand miles, aod in Some cases their hardebips were awful.

After the men were entrained they sang several songe, the refrain of one was **T-o-r-o-n-t-0” and anether “The Maple Leaf For Ever,” ‘Soldiers of the Queen” and other pupular airs. One dear old lady, 4 friend of ours, said *‘God bless you all my boys and give you back safely to your mothers, asl pray he will give mine to me.” Her eon isin beleagured Kimber~- ley. We are hoping brave little Mafeking will hold out.

The Transvaal Government have been cheated by those from whom they bought their shells, as they are nearly filled with charcoal or saad, butit is fortunate fur our side orvery many more would have been killed during the bombardments. I will write to you soon agaio. Please ac- cept very kind regards and my beartfelt prayers for the safe return of our dear ones.

brotser, Mr. Wilbert Tom DeAar,on 3rd of De- ral Jas. A. MacDonald, . C. R.I., says in part -—

Writing to jhis MacDonald, cember, Cor of * FF” Osi,

‘The Canadian regiment is in camp about 60 miles from Kimberley. We ar rived here on Sunday morning. I do not know how long we will be bere. Men are

coming in at the rate of 2,000 a day.

There are quite a lotof Boer prisoners

coming in every day. I saw a soldier to-

day who was wounded twenty times, Bad | WAS Sppatenuy getuag along Bll igure

He wil xot lose any of his limbs. When

I saw him he was playing cards out-

side the tent,

“We have been having plenty. cf hot weather. Yesterday there was a regular drift of sand. Indeed at tinies yon could not distinguish » te: t twenty yards away.

“ The Boers wii] catch it after 1 while, Thev tried t> take Ledytmith on the 9th of November, !u: lsd to abandon the at- tempt. The Boer loss was about 1,000 men, the British loss, 21.

‘Tam well, and hope you area.] well. Love to all.”

In akctter to his mother, written frem Cape Town, cn the 29th of Nevember, Corporal MacDonseld reports the safe ar- riva: of the Sardipian after a pleasant pas- sage of thirty days, The Canadians, he eays, were given a great reception. “ I think,” he adde, “ we sre going up to Kimberley with the Black Watch and Seaforth Highlanders—two five regiments. I know you will he uneasy regarding me. But let me assure you I will domy duty to the best of my ability. But going to war will pot shorten my days. It it is my time to go there will he some means of taking me off.”

The following letter bas been received by Mr. E. W. Taylor from his son Roland :

Bretmoyt, Monday, Bec. llth, 1899.

Dear Fatruer,—We had quite a picnic yesterday. We left Orange River about 10 a. m., Sunday, and were aboard the train two hours before it started. We travel in box cars aboutthree and a half feet high without a roof. Before we be- gan the journey a equall broke upon us, aod the lightning and rain wae terrific. A similar storm greeted us on Thuraday 7th,when we hsuledup at Orange River at dusk, and before we could pitch camp or get accountrements under sheltera black cloud of rain and just struck us. We arrived here in another thunderstorm about 4 p. m. today.

The right half of the regiment mostly moves separate from us and coasists of Ccs., A,B, ©, BD. The left half Co’s., K, F,G, H, commanded by Major Pelle tier, follows as®closely as possible. Major Pelletier - is a little Frenchman, and aa excellent and popular commander.

I was on the battlefield here and picked up several of the Boers’ cartridges, but the beet things were long before takeov. We expect to go on to Kimberley as soon as we are relieved by more troops.

The boyesre wild because they have not bad a chance to fight yet,

Writing from Orange River camp on the 9%h of December to his father Pte, James Matheson says :

“T am well and all the rest of the boys are well. We have been working building a railway Seiding, and have finished. Half of the Battalion went te the front this morning and we expect to go to- morrow morning There are about seventy thousand soldiers eut here now. They are all nice fellows and we have a good time with them. The Gordon High- landers left bere about an hour ago for the front. The railway is open for about 20 miles.

“We are only about 50 miles from Kim berley. We can see the flash-lights from the top of the mountain. The way we get word frem Kimberley is by flashlight. They are al] wel! there se far, and the Boers are getting it. Several powerful batteries of artillery have passed througb here,

‘“We are geing On guard over the Boer prisoners tonight. These sre the peeple who hoisted the white flag and then shot the officers.

“J de not know of anything elee to tell you. Remember ms to all.”
