in any of these rivers save after a
thunderstorm. During the summer
months these are pretty frequent, and
for at least a few weeks in January
may be expected with almost clockwork
regularity between and 5 o'clock every
afternoon. The usually only last for an
hour or less, and though the downpour
is veritably tropical for the time, the
hot sun soon dries up the moisture, and
the soil is parched and thirsty again by
the next day.
On the east of Ladysmith there are
several hills which are Of some import
ance The Isimbulwana, for instance, is
dignitied by the name of mountain,
but this is gross fattery; Lombards
Kop Is an eminence within four miles
of the town and six of the camp. kop-

hill Scattered about the veldt on this
! side of the town are many kopjes, COW

Ladysmith as lying in teacup. A fair
ing excellent cover for the Beers who,
however, could be, and evidently have
been, dislodged, by our heavy guns.
1t is entirely incorrect to describe
err comparison would be to say that it
lies toward one side of a gigantic soup
plate, with a big piece Of the edge chip
ped off on one side. Through this chip
comes the railway line from Durham.
There are a number of hamlets of a
dozen to twenty houses scattered with
in a score or so miles from Ladysmith.
Leatherns, for instance, Is fifteen miles
away; Freers (Acton Homes), where
General Whites first engagement took
place, Is twenty-four miles, and Little
Tugela Waterfall Is about thirty.
Round about are many more or less iso-
lated farms English farms, where they
really do farm, not Dutch farms where
they do everything except foarm; and
on one of these, Farquhar's Farm, the
battle of Monday took it's acutest phase.
Speaking as a resident, and one who
knows the country, there need be no
fear that we shall lose Ladysmith. The
earthworks surrounding the heavy guns
are amply sufficient to protect the town.
Every hill, SLUT and distinctive point Of
attack for miles round has been care
fully measured for shooting purposes.
The site of the camp itself was chosen
by a board of officers specially APP
pointed for the purpose, and the militia
ry position of the place has been stud
led and developed during the last two
years by the most expert local military
advice.
The natural advantages and defences
of the town have been enhanced and
strengthened by carefully planned re-
doubts at any possibly vulnerable
points. The danger Of the place being
rushed Is absolutely nil, because the
immediate surroundings are open, and
bare to nakedness, SO that there is no
possibility of surprise. Any one APP
preaching can be seen for great dis
lance, and no near cover is available.
In short, Ladysmith is the Aldershot
of Natal,-London Mail.

pleasant journey.
Earle Swift, a well known young man
of Branford, met with a very painful
accident in Guilford on Wednesday
while engaged in wiring the E. S.
Spencer & Sons foundry for electric
lights. While brushing some dust from
his clothing his hand came in contact
with very sharp jackknife, which
protruded from his jacket pocket,
cutting very bad cash. 1t was neces-
sary to take several stitches in the
Mdund.
