ON THE FIGHTING LINES.
Correspondents in South Africa De-
scribe an Artillery Duel.
From the New York Times.


Two American correspondents, Julian
Ralph and Il. J. Wh.gham. are especially
distinguishing themselves by their graphic
and interesting letters from the Chiveley
camp Mr. Whigham viii be remembered
as the champion go.fer who did good work
as correspondent in the war with Spain.
His first letter from the front appears in
the Morning Post of Jan. p.
1T so happened" writes Mr.. Whigham,
that in the course of Wednesday after
noon the General came over to the p
Founders, while going his rounds in order
to look through the naval mems fine tele-
scope. just as he sat down to use the
glass the platform of the engineers OBJ
serVatory was hosted TO the top of the
structure. The Beers, not slow to take
advantage of so deliberate a suggestion
at once opened fire with gun high up on
the Magerfontein kopje. AS soon as the
puff of smoke showed on the breast of the
hill some one remarked that IL was coming
in our direction, and there was scramble
for the sandbags, the General finding the
gun epauiments rather low for man of
his stature. The shell came in straight line
to the 12-pounders, and precisely over the
spot where Lord Methuen had just been
sitting. Needless to say, the engineer s
observatory was promptly taken down.
LAS for the officers, they take no more
notice of the enemy's shells than they
would of snowbals, which is possibly the
proper attitude for an officer to take. At
the same time, considering that the Beers
use almost entirely black powder, so that
the firing of the gun can be seen hong be-
fore the shell comes, one would be inclined
to say that ordinary prudence would sug-
gest that even officers should take shelter
until the shell has arrived. OF course. it
is a thousand to one against the shell, but
occasionally chance will direct 1t Alright
and we shall lose a valuable life for no
possible reason whatever. Early next
morning the Beers got even closer and
twice hit gun epaulment. Then, as our
guns were ordered to remain silent, every
one sat down quietly behind sand bags,
and the Beers might have fired a million
such shells without doing any damage.
In the meantime it is very pretty shoot
ing on both sides; we always have a white
puff of smoke to aim at, and in order to
take no mean advantage of the enemy, we
give him a range finder in the shape of a
house or an observatory, only reserving
to ourselves the right TO use lyddite shells.
We have now second Al called Jose
phine,' and the enemy daily discover new
gun positions on their part, so the morn
ing duel, If it does no harm, is gradually
becoming more exciting. The wind blows
every day more or less, so that life at
Modder river would be one long dust
storm If 1t We're not for merciful ProvI-
dence which ordains that just when the
limit of human endurance is reached a
rainstorm comes by way of variation and
laws the dust and cOols the air for at least
tWenty-four hours"
