natives. Time dragged along until
1875 when they discovered that they
had no means to suppress the natives.
Sir 7. ShepstOne at this time repre-
scented TO England the impoverished
condition of the Beers, and a petition
was instigated by influential Beers ask

and came TO ford in a densely tim

Natal side.
Sir George Colley. the Natal civil
governor, then went to the front and
assumed command of the English
army. He planned to scale Laing's
Neck. but the Beers from behind rocks
and trees, shot down a large part of
the expedition. Colonel Deane, who
led the charge, fell with twenty three
bullet wounds in his body and the
army retreated. The next day. while
conveying the wounded back, the Beers
attacked the detachment, shooting the
drivers and mules and killing some of

Sir George Colley next conceived the
idea of marching up Majuba Hill, a
point of vantage overlooking the Boer
Entertainments Ca the other side of
Laing's Neck. The British assembled

night. and how they performed the

response was ready. and a detachment
