WHAT SCOUT BuRNHAM SAW
AMERICAN SCOTT. IMPRESSED WITH
THE BOERs:sTACTICs.
He Describes Their Successful Retreat
From Koerns Spruit With
Guns and Prisoners.

LONDON. April. ia dispatch to the
Morning Post from Bloemfontein, dated
April o. gives description by F. R. Burn
ham. the American scout with General
Roberts. of the Boer trek from Koorns
Spruit. Mr.. Burnham says: Owing to
report that the British had occupied Brand
fort and were moving to Winburg the
course of the convoy was altered, and the
Beers pushed forward with increased speed
toward Winburg. They expected cavalry
pursuit every hour. and the convoy was
protected with the greatest care and SUBJ
tlety. the road being taken between kopjes,
held and evacuated in succession by rear
guards The trek proceeded throughout
Sunday, and on Monday morning the con-
voy was ten miles from Winburg."
Mr.. Durham, explaining the Boer meth
DDS of obtaining the. range for rife fire.
says: Zone man fired successive shots and
watched the dust raised by the bullets,
until accuracy was obtained; he then COM
municated the range to his comrades"
Mr.. Durham also mentions the way
In which work intrusted to men with tired
horses was Immediately taken UP by others
with fresh animals, If occasion offered the
newcomers being given Instructions and the
range of the men whose places they took.
He was also struck by the ..extraordi-
nary fullness of the Instructions given by
the comma nders to the men before any
movement was begun These included in
formation to the route to be followed
the intention of the movement and the
different rendezvous in the case either of
victory or defeat. Another thing that i'm
pressed him greatly was the total absence
of leading in some instances, every man
having received instructions and carving
them out independently and as speedily as
possible.

miles apart. They are known ss
Great and Little Ararat. and are re-
spectlyely 1890 and 1890 feet above
the plain. They partially belong to
three countries. Russia. Turkey and
Persia. The mountains r covered
on the tops with perpetual snow. Ice
and glaciers. The summit Of Great
Ararat was reached in 1929 by Prof.
Parrot, says the Scientific American,
and on September 2. 1900. q member
Of the Russian Geographical society
named Peoggenpohl ascended the
peak with a considerable party. The
difficulties OF the ascent are very
great, and his successful expedition
will be welcome new In geographical
circles. Ascents are rare, having been
made in 1894, is43, 1s4S, 1880 and 1883.
Little Ararat Is even o dihcuit
