LAURENTIAN’S TRIP.

PURSZR’S ACCOUNT OF THE VOYAGE TO CAPE VERDE.

Mr. Duncan McIntyre, purser of the Allan Line steamship Laurentian, which sailed from Halifax on January 20, with a portion of the second con- tingent, has sent, through Messers. H. & A A. Allan, to The Gazette, the fol- lowing interesting abstracts from his log :—

Purser.

Total horses lost, 14.

The purser reports in an additional letter that the mortality amongst the horses was probably occasioned by the weather conditions prevailing when they went on board the steamer. It will be remembered that embarkation took place during a deluge of rain, and the horses were thoroughly soaked. This, probably, with the bad weather which the ship encountered immedi-

ately after, brought about the _ illness | from which some of them died.

Under the heading of food, the purser writes: “No complaint has been made regarding the food. Indeed the commanding officers and men seem perfectly satisfied. The com - manding officer, after inspecting the | men’s food on Sunday last, stated that the men who complained ot what they were getting deserved pack drill With reference to the coal, the purser furth-- er writes: “The cual supplied at Portland was of a good quality, but very dirty.” Respecting the ice house, Mr. MacIntyre writes: “The ice house constructed on the main deck was opened for the first time on the 29th January,nine days after sailing,the meat from which was in perfect condi- tion. Indeed the ice looks as if it would almost last forthe return trip. Electric light has been so far running

| satisfactorily. ”

THE IRISH BRIGADE.

A Pietermaritzburg despatch of February 13 says that Major Brasier- Creagh, surgeon in charge of the am- bulance train from Frere to Mooi river, brought 95 wounded British soldiers there. Six of this number were officers. He® also brought in three wounded Boers, all of whom had been shot in the thiga. On the way down the Boers talked freely to the sur- geon. They told him the Boers were fighting for independence, and hope they would win. They weuld make a _ good try, anyhow. ‘The wounded men stated there were only afew English, Irish, or other foreign- ers fighting with the Boers in Natal. The Irish Transvaal Brigade, they said, was on the western border, probably with General Cronje at Mod- der river. The men said they had been in three British hospitals, and had been treated with the greatest kindness and consideration by the officers and men. They were especi- ally grateful to the British surgeons. One of the Boers said he had offered his guard £80 to allow him to escape, but the guard refused.

ONE OF THE LESSONS.

Lord George Hamilton, Secretary of State for India speaking at Chiswick on the war, said that the one lesson to be learned was the fact that a volunteer force could use the long-range rifle and cannon, and could ina _ fortified posi- tion hold their own against any troops. This meant that if the volunteers were properly organized in England a suc- cessful invasion of the country would be an impossibility. It also meant that, if proper use were made of the moun- tains on the frontier of India, the big- ger the hostile armythat got with— in these mountains, the larger wou'd be the graveyard they would make there.

ARMIES IN THE FIELD.

The British Intelligence Department estimates that the number of Boers liable to services in the ‘Transvaal is 31,314; in the Orange Free State, 22.- 314; disloyal Cape Dutch, 4,000, and foreigners enlisted 4,000, making a total of 61,993, from which 1,893 men are deducted for the police.

The Boers, it is said, have eighteen old guns of all kinds, 19 captured British and seventy-three guns, classi- fied as follows : Creusot 15-C guns, 16; 3-7-inch, 21; 7.5inch, 32, and 4 7-inch howitzers, 4. The British have sent the following: Mountain guns, 12; horse artillery, 54; field artillery, 234; five-inch howitzers, 36; naval guns, mostly 4.7 inch, 38, heavy siege train guns, 36.

The British forces prior to the war

| ing the

consisted of 9,600 men, 7,600 un-

mounted and 2,000 mounted. On the date of the ultmatium,Oct. 9, they had increased to 12,000 unmounted and 3,400 mounted, a total of 16 000. On Jan. 7 they were 83,000 unmounted and 19,800 mounted. On Feb. 28, they will consist of 37,800 mounted men, and 142,800 unmounted,

THE ZULU’s OFFER.

A correspondent at Pietermaritzburg writes :—‘ A short time since a Zulu chief and his men came in to do hon. our to the magistrate and to offer their services in case they might be wanted in the war. The chief explained that he knew he he was unworthy to fight with the Englishmen, but when master went hunting did he not call the dogs to help him? He himself and

the |

his men were content to be the dogs |

if they might help. At the word ‘Inkoz,’ which means ‘master’ these men saluted by raising their right

hands high above their heads. Zulus are born fighters. They had fastened their assegais to their saddies to show that they meant what they said. They were fine, big fellows, and were mounted on small horses.”

THE FORCE OF IMAGIN ATION ‘ts record of cures is GREATEST. | me qq

One of the war correspondents nar-—- rates a curious incident that came un- der his notice at the Rietfontein en- gagement. A private of the Natal Mounted Police had his_ horse shot, and immediately cried out, “I’m hit.” ‘Nonsense, man ; it’s only your horse,” cried a comrade, and the man accept- assurance, went on fighting He returned to the camp with his corps, strolled about in the evening, suffered during the night from what he called spasms, and only next morning dis- covered that a Mauser bullet had gone through his body. ‘Then he collapsed and was taken to the Hospital.

ZULUS AND

In the British House of Commons, during the course of a reply to a ques- tion relative to the probable Boer in- vasi6n of Zululand, the Secretary of

BOERS.

State for the Colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, said that the Govern- ment had decided, if the native

territories were invaded by the Boers, the natives willbe encouraged and assisted in every way in defending themselves.” Mr. Chamberlain’s reply confirmed the reports of the invasion ®f Zululand, and showed the conse- quences could not fail to be serious throughout South Africa, as the alarm and unrest of the Zulus was bound to spread to the Natal natives. The Colonial Secretary also said that the Natal Ministry had notified the Home Government that it could not any longer be responsible for the peaceful attitude of the Zulus, as the invasion of their country was cofttrary to a tacit compact that the natives should not be dragged into the war.

There are 33,000 colonial troops on duty in or on the way to South Africa 7,000 of them being from colonies not directly affected by this war. That is very good for a beginning, and though the foemen rage and the nations now imagine a vain thing, when the work the men have taken up is done there will not be much talk of the Empire being a military bankrupt.

An interesting Case,

Mr. W, G. Phyall, proprietor Bodega Hotel, 36 Wellington Street East, Toronto, says:— “While living in ChicagolI wasina terrible state with itching and bleeding piles, I tried several of the best physicians and was burnt and torturedin various ways by their tr: at- mentto 0 avail, besides spending a mint of mohey to no pur . ince coming to Toronto I learned of Dr. Chase’s Ointn ent, I used but one box and have not been troubled with piles in any shape or form sinee,”
