Later the Beers shelled ElandsIaagte Colliery.
Ten shells fell close 10 the mine, but did no
damage. The work at the mine was stopped,
but 1t is hoped will be resumed tomorrow
The British guns opened fire. The naval orl-
gade on the right sent a few shells in the direc-
ton of the Beers guns. which were posted on
a long ridge four thousand yards to the right of
the bridge. They were difficult to locate, but
the Beers were soon seen retreating over the
hill toward Vessels Mex. Several of the shells
caught them and must have done some damage
On the left the squadron Of African Horse
were engaged all day in exchanging shots with
the Beers No casualties are reported
Late in the day the Beers showed activity IN
the trenches on the ridges in front of Glands
laagte. A few Al shells forced them TO REIN

4SO0 yards distant from Elandslaagte 1t Is
