around perhaps earlier than indus

The British met with a loss in
battle at Ladysmith. 1t was con
siderable of a battle and humiliated
British pride. The Beers sur.
rounded and captured a brigade OF
mounted troops, two brigade divi'
siOns of the royal artillery, the
Natal field battery and two bri-
gades of infantry. The British
blame their misfortune on their
mules. The Beers rolled stones
down a mountain and that scared
the British mule teams, and they
ran away with the artillery, the
ammunition and everything to which
they were all hitched at that time,
the army being on the march. The
Beers attacked at that critical time,
lust when the British were out OF
ammunition excepting what was in
their belts. The defeat of the Brit
ish at Ladysmith by mules is not
the first time that a mule has play
cd havoc with high purposes.
