There is much flippant talk in Eng
land about conQuering the Beers; but
the Boer is not a man to be despised,
as English readers are told in a recent
article. The Boer is "a man with
whom the predikant (parson) is always
an honored guest; who loves, and
thinks much of the opinion Of his wife;
who is boundlessly hospitable, and who
can shoot straight" The Beers, in
their faith and in their shooting, bring
to mind Cromwells men, as good SOL
diers as the world ever saw. Fighting
the Beers in London club talk, and
fighting them within rife range, are
vastly different affairs, as Raider Jane
son can testify.

that had been punched in the plates. and
when the repairs had been made the
pumDs were able to float the vessel, while
the Government steamers Billow Sprav

hard work, IN getting the torpedo o. boat on
the ways, when it was found a good-sized
hole had been made in her plates near the
keelson.
