When the British, under Gen WoIseley.
were called upon to defend Lydenburg
against the Beers. led by Commander
Cronje. In the last war, one of the Eng
iish soldiers was confined In an Isolated
fortified prison.
Directly the ''guns began to shoot the
six native warders unceremeniously fled
leaving their solitary prisoner to shift for
himself. Finding plenty of rations and
water, together with the warders' aban-
doned carbines and lots OF ammunition.
the man decided to "hold the fort and
defy the whole Boer crowd. Commanded
by the enemy to surrender, he refused

Firing then opened, and the prison re-
ceived some rather warm attention, but
the defender briskly returned the COM
pliment though the IoophoIes, and also
was fortunate enough to escape being hit.
After a few days the besiegers again
asked for the place to be given up. The
devil-may- soldier, now without pro-
visions and reduced to a few cartridges,
wisely agreed, on condition that the gar
fison were allowed a free passage to the
main fort and to take all arms with them.
After big palaver the Beers accepted
his terms, and sent a flag OF truce to the
British commanding officer, informing
him or what was about to take place.
Consequently, to the bowling delight Of
all his fellows In the main fort, Tommy
surrendered and marched out, stagger-
ing under the weight of all the weapons
the place contained.
When asked by Gen. Cronje where all
