[tis marvellous what escapes the rest of us must have had, as we could plainiv emel’ the powder and I imagined I felt the emoke from the Boerrifles. The firing was terrific on their side for aboo‘ halt an hour; but we dare not fire a shot, as todo so would show them exactly where we were lying on the ground and we could not see a thing in the dark I was between two fellows from the Fredericton Military Sc’ool. Both of them were wounded, onein the leg and the other in the stomach. When the fire ceased for a little. we retired for about twenty or twenty-five paces to where the engineers were digging the trenches, and when daylight dawned we found we were only 47 yards froxa the enemy, and there- fore through the firing we must have been very close to them. The dead were strewao all about the veldt in front of us,‘and the cries of the wounded were terrible to hear. We took good cover behind the earth- works, taking pot shots at a head or hat whenever it was eeen, untilab ut ten o’clock in the morning 4 white flag was seeu acd a Boer stepped forwerd to say that he wanted to surrender. *In about two hours the whole of them threw down their arms and the proud General Cronje, Kruger’s right hand man, with about five thoueand of his followers, gave themselves up.

On Mondab, the 26th, the nearest trench was about four hundred yards from the enemy’s lines, and “G” and ‘H” company were placed in it supported by “F” company, with the other Canadians in reserve. At two o’clock a. m., on the 27th we were direcied to advance, the idea being t» push forward as far as we could and cover those digging the treich- es. The Cornwalis and Gordons were on the left flank,aod were to start firing when we advanced and to keepthe Boers en~ gaged on that side. We advanced tothirty paces from t'ie Boer trenches before we knew where we were. Another moment and we soon knew our position bya terrific fire from the trench io our front. The casualties were forty-six in the R. C. R.,of which “G”’ Company had five killed and sixteen wounded, incinding Alf. Riggs. I was untouched save a bullet through my clothes. “G” and “H” Companies are getting all the praise now. P.8.—March 3rd. I did not catch the mai, the other dav.
