The Boer investing party advanced

The Boer advance continued on the
two copies east of Spion Kop. Many
Beers were shot. but so numerous
were the burghers that the gaps filled
automatically. Toward twilight they
reached the summit of the second
Sopjea but did not get further.
The British Maxims belched flame,
but a wall of fire from Mausers held
the English back. Their center, un-
der this pressure, gradually gave way
and broke, abandoning the position.
Firing continued for some time, and
then the fusiliers and the light horse,
serving as infantry, threw up their
arms and rushed out of the trenches.
The effect Of the abandonment of
spion Kop by the English can hardly
be gagged as yet but it must prove
to be immense.
