OF the hill appeared impregnable. Its
fiat saucer-like top commanded the
plain on every side, and no thought
seems to have been given to artificial
fertilization.
The Beers, however, knew that the
sides of the hill which rose precipitate-
ly from the plain were SCARED by deep
cliffs and gullies. Up these Joubert
determined to send a band of his pick
ed men, and to cover their operations
the men in the valley opened a brisk
fire on the soldiers on the hill. So ac-
curate was the shooting of the Beers
that the English soldiers kept under
cover as much as possible, only rising
now and then to return volley. Little
harm was done by this long-range fir
ing on either side, and SO confident Of
their security were the British soldiers
that with every volley they hurled
taunts at the enemy in the distance.
For six hours this firing continued
that was the length. of time it took the
two hundred and fifty Beers who at
tempted the ascent to climb the hill.
Once there, one party of sixty burgh-
|ers occupied a small peak standing on
the skirt of the summit, killing by a
single volley the small British picket
that held it. The rest of the Beers
lpoured themselves over the saucer-like
edges Of the fiat-topped mountain and
took the British soldiers completely by
surprise The movement was so sud-
den, so totally unexpected, that the
English force could not awake to a
realization of what had happened. They
fancied themselves penned in to
slaughter, and all the efforts of their
general and his officers could not recall
them to discipline. They precipitated
themselves down the side of the hill
into the very hands Of the Beers, who
advanced to meet them.
A handful of them remained tc
light and be killed, among them General
Colley, who, when he saw all hope lost
took his life with his own hand. Cam.
eron, the war correspondent, who was
taken prisoner by the Beers and i'm.
mediately released. described the scene
as one Of the widest confusion. Tn,
defeat at Laing's Mex had already de
morallzed the handful of British sol
diers, who felt isolated in a strang,
country and this new and startling at
tack was too much for them. Had tht
men yielded to the rallying of their Of

THE MASSACRE OF MAJUBA HILL
England in the course of her history
sufiered-as does every fighting nation
many defeats, but never one so hu-
initiating to her national pride as her
defeat at Majuba Hin on February q,
1881, by the rude Beers of the Trans

feat was due to the existence of a
Gladstonian Cabinet in England and
the ever-present desire Of that party
for peace at any price.

Britain is now in the field in

1t was on that day that General Sir
George Colley, an officer Of experience
and undoubted personal bravery, after
forced night march took up a posi-
tion on the summit Of Majuba with his
force Of six hundred British soldiers.
Since his defeat by the Beers at
Laing's Mex on January q his com

tackled by the burghers, and on taking
up the highly important strategic posi-

forces filled the valley commanded by
the hill, and when they discovered the
position taken by the British forces
