scribing the battle OF Magersfontein, in .
special dispatch to the Daily Mall, says:
'The Beers were intrenched at Magers-
fontein, four miles north Of Modder river.
At dawn Monday the Hishlanders adyanc-
ing across the veldt were suddenly sub
jected to murderous fire from the
trenches about 200 yards In front. The
greater part OF the fearful loss OF the day
was thus suffered In a single minute.
Startled and overwhelmed. the brigade
retired quickly, but soon rallied and re.
tanned their position. This was on the
left
''on the right the Guards brigade ad-
vanced across the veldt against other
trenches and fought an invisible foe for
fifteen hours -
AT II o'clock In the morning the Gordon
Highianders were sent forward. the
Beers allowed them to pass one line Of
trenches and then enfiladed them. We
raked the Boer trenches with artillery
throughout the day. The fighting only
ceased with nightfall"
