Oh the garrison, which now seems to
be suffering pretty heavily from the

The Boer movements northWard
from the Tuguela River are quite in

of securing a safe line of retreat.
1t is known that further artillery
is due to arrive to General Butler, but
the belief here is that his forces even
then will be too weak. He may, how
ever. be animated by desire to ac-
complish something before the arrival
of Lord Roberts and to satisfy the
keenness of his men to retrieve their
