Hurt, thing unheard of before, as
neither of the last two were allowed

sui could only be seen under a guard
and by special permission OF Kruger.
Then word WIS passed round that
Kruger and the Government were
gone, and that our forces would be
in Pretoria that night or next day.

uproar. Finally the Commandant
got up and me de speech, telling US
we would be tree by the next day, at
