ized men.
McGill Museum was visited,where were
Seen. representing different periods of the
world‘s history, the works of nature and
of man. From the massive Indian totem-
pole and the skeleton cf monster animals
°f 3868 10113 ago. to the thousands of
specimens representing the life on and the
composition ofthe earth`s crust to-day,
°“1`¢)'¢S D8~SSed in rapid»view. The sight
of Maissoneuve’s monument on Place
d'Arms recalled the history of the
founding of Montreal-the monuments on
Dominion Square that of the building up
of Canada. Notre Dame and St. James
Cathedrals have magnificent interiors. As
one looks upon the costly adornments, the
beautiful altars, and the grand and
intricate arches and hangings overhead,
he wonders how man could do all this.
One of the most exciting features of the
stay at the Metropolis was-shooting
Lachine Rapids. We rode by train tea
place above the rapids and then boarded a
steamer to come back by the river;
Cautiously the steamer approaches the
rapids, the water foams and roars, the
waves beat against the side of the vessel
and throw their spray on deck, the boat
rolls from side to side, the experience is
most exciting-but finally the rough
water is past, we glide swiftly down the
river and are safely landed at the wharf.
After visiting many places of interest in
Montreal, we took the train for Toronto
and had soon past Ste Annes where are
the locks by means of which steamers
going up the Ottawa are lifted over the
rapids. Ste Annes was once the home of
the poet Moore, and is the scene of his
well known boat song. The railway now
leaves the river, and one passes through
a beautiful farming country, by many
orchards and here andtiiere tracts of,tlie
original forest. Past many well built and
prosperous towns, we in the early
morning arrived at Toronto and changed
cars for Niagara Falls. Some of our party.
too anxious tosee the city, got left; but
were thereby afforded the privilege of a
sail across the Lake.
From Toronto around Lake Ontario, one
passes through a most delightful fruit
country. The farms are regularly laid
off, the fences and buildings well built
and neat, the trees and shrubs in perfect
rows and the soil cultivated between
them with scarcely a weed to be seen-
everything indicates prosperity.
Afterafew hours travel we heard' the
roarof the mighty Niagara, and a few
minutes later were intently gazing on that
great fall of water. Above, the great
volume of water flows smoothly on, until
suddenly it falls almost perpendicularly
with deafening roar. For many rods on
either side the air is continually full' of
spray. On the side are beautiful gardens,
alvvays moist from the spray of the
foaming waters. On either side below
the falls the banks rise abruptly to a
great height. If one choose he may don a.
rubber suit,go down by an elevator to the
foot of the cliff, and then scramble over
the rocks clese up to where the water
pours down. In the seething waters
below the Falls, a little steamer ‘°The
Mild of the Mist” plies backward and
forward. Even more exciting than
shooting the rapids is the trip on thfs
little boat through the rough boiling
waters. A short distance below the Falls
is the Suspension Bridge which joins the
city of Niagara with the Canadian side.
The best view ofthe Niagara is from the
top of a very high tower,which is attached
to the Tower Hotel. One enters the iron
cage of the elevator, the doors are shut
and locked, and slowly the ascent is made
up, up, up, till looking down the people on
the street seem about one foot_high.
From the platform at the top of the tower
an excellent view of the Falls is obtained
-the smoothly flowing water above and
for miles below the whirlpools and the
water rushing through the srorge.
Dinner over we boarded an electric car
for a trip down the gorge. For miles the
track runs along the foo: of the high bank
close to the foaming \vatei-s. O_:i the way
the Devil’s Hole and the great whirlpool
are passed. After smoother water is
reached, the river is crossed by alittle
steamer, the bank is ascended and another
car taken by which to return.
It is on the return to the Falls that one
passes Queenston Heights where the
brave Canadians made the great cha-rge,
,and showed to the world as they are
,bowing no-day that they are equal if not
superior to any soldiers on earth. At the
foot of the high hill is a simple tombstone
surrounded byan iron fence which marks
I place where fell the heroic Brock when
»
iwdmg gn his men to victory. On. the
Mil is Brock’s monument; and the 't!‘8.¢k
so winds around that the car passes 121088

I hm tha Ul0~.l0r’s _ baggage which
he didn’t get for some days later at Paar-
deberg; but I kept his sleeping valise well
aired. _ We then moved on on February ,
13th along with the convoy. It was a `
pitiful sight to see the poor Infantry
fellows played out, some dropping with a
slight sunstroke, and the cattle dro in
times by day and sometimes by night.
Night time was the best on account of the
oxen working much better in the .cool of
the night. Nothing occured of note
with us-but our fellows were fighting,
every day in the front on their way to
Kimberley--till we got to Riet River or
Drift, which was a terrible pass in the`
river. Miles and miles of transport had to
pass through a narrow passage across the 3
waggou to pass over, let alone the hun-
dreds that had to pass. We were lucky to
get across and encamp below a. hill for the
night. Next day they still continued to ‘
pass the drif‘t--in fact they had been at it
all night, and still hundreds of waggonsl
to come on. The Boers evidently
knew of this obstacle, and a. party can e
up from the south and had vengeance on
the column, as they couldn’t on the fight-_
ing line. It was a lucky thing for us we
were clear, or else we might have found
our baggage gone and ourselves put over
the border (i. e., sent to Pretoria or shot.)
The Boers took up position in the hills
and shelled the wagon convoy. The nigger
drivers are terrible cowards, and all fled
to the hills or kopjes near at hand, leaving
the waggons and oxen to the mercy of the
Boers. Some of the oxen we succeeded in
driving into the camp on the other ‘side of
the river.” l
'run GOOD NEW ZEALANDEBS.
“The good old NewZealanders (who have
proved of great use and very daring in the
campaign) rode over to where the nigger
drivers were, and threatened to blow
their brains out if they didn’t return to
their waggons, which they did after the
Boers had left off shelling for a. bit after
doing a terrible lot of damage. Lord Bobs
get some of the waggons away, and said
“Let them go.” Our loss proved to be
over £100,000, which I am glad to say we
received later. The Boers thought this
convoy was lost purposely, and when we
arrived here we found the whole of it ex-
cept what had been sent. to our prisoners
at Petoria. I am sorry I was unable to go
into Kimberley along with the remainder
of the troop, just to say I had seen the
place. I took a short cut across with the
baggage to J acobsdal-this was only a
small town, not as big as Ashford. There
wererthree churches here, turned into
hospitals, full up with German soldiers.

dead in all directions. We moved some-'
drift, and it took a terrible time for one '
, day, during which time a heavy storm
broke out. Moved on in afternoon, and
l passed through some very pretty country
in comparison with the other parts wehad
passed through.”
INCIDENTS AT PAABDEBERG.
“We came up with the Hghting line in
the evening and found them hard at it-.
This was the commencement of the Paar-
deberg, where Cronje and a. number of the
field comets had broughttheir wives with
them to see them beat the English; some
of them gave birth to children while they
‘ were In the laager. It was on this Sunday
that the Duke of Cori1wall’s Light Infan-
try and the Argyll and Suther-
land Highlanders lost a lot of
men when they drove them down to
` the river; they entrenched themselvedand
opened ride fire on our men. ,They had:
fantry killed and wounded. It was a.
pretty sight yet awful. From the hill
where I stood you could see the laager of
waggons belonging to the Boers, but the
Boers themselves took refuge in trenches
*they dug alongside the river. All dayl
Sunday our people shelled the laager,
after they had given them two hours to
l surrenderiu the morning, from 9 to 11 a.
rn. I will give you an idea of what good
I gunners we have in our Artillery (Royal
Horse Artillery.) General Frenéh said to
one of the gunners. “See those three
,waggons over there (a distance of about
3J_; miles; see what you can do with them.
The gunner fired three shells and the
waggons were no more.” `
‘ ' ON OUTPOST DUTY!
A“I was on outpost duty at this camP_
(Paardberg) at night-had to lie down and
,keep watch. All through the night our
| drop an occassional
' shell to let them see we were not asleep,
and about). a.‘m,. the enemy started ride
ire, and it seemed as if t-he place were on~
,` fire amiuute or so. Our artillery from
‘six different positions openedfire on them.
l The poor devils, especially .the women,
gmust have thought themselves better off
l had they stopped at their farms instead of
' coming to see their husbands beat the
English. Every day stragglers who had
escaped from the Boers laager came in
came up just as they were goingto try and and give them selues up, especially the
.niggers The majority of them were
lwilling to surrender, but Cronje refused
'to allow them, and horsewhipped them
-instead. He lasted out until ,February
27th, when he sent for two of the doctors
that they couldn’t possibly last out on
sand cattle incurable. Out of 7,(Il0 Boers
'Cronje surrendered; another 4,000 killed
wounded, and. sick' with fever. I didn’t,
