anecdote of quaint flavor The Beers rode
out to him and chatted with him as he did
his work.
Have you any water in your bottle %
they asked, adding, I'VE are very thirsty"
The Briton said he had water in one
bottle and whisky and water in another.
'Ill give you the whisky and water"
said he. eff you'll say God bless the
Queen"
We've no objection" one Boer replied;
we've nothing against the Queen. Let's
have the whisky
L talked to several of our men during
the days when we were taking in our dead
and wounded, and heard much about the
Beers. Not one had been seen to wear
a uniform. They were clad precisely as
so many men would be If gathered up in
city streets and country roads. After
they left the trenches IL was seen that
every man had horse, that nearly all the
horses were very good ones. and that the
Beers sat them like centaurs, $50 graceful
and easy like" as one man put il.
When we get to the point where we can
write and speak of the Beers defects as
freely as We can tell the world the worst
news of ourselves, L shall tell the other
side of the story OF the Boer upon the
battlefield. For there is another side-no
matter how guide and helpful and cour-
teous" they have been TO brave Padre
Robertson.
