and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into

danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.

Scenes Which Occurred When Dun

1t is impossible to depict the enthusiasm
OF the beleaguered garrison; cheer upon
cheer ran from post to post, and staff Off
GERS. civilians and soldiers flocked to greet
them At the ford Of the Kip river women
with children in their arms tearfully press
ed forward to grasp the hands of the gall
liant band Sisters and brothers, friends
and relatives met again. 1t was the most
moving scene have ever witnessed.
the contrast between the robust troopers
OF dozen battles and the pale. emaciated
defenders Of Ladysnith was great The
hour for which We had so patiently waited
had come at last.
General White and his staff met the
troops In the center Of the town. He was
cheered with heartfelt enthusiasm. He ad-
dressed the civilians and thanked them and
the garrison for their magnificent support
through trials which We alone can realize
We could possibly have hung on for six
weeks longer, but the privations would
have been great and sickness and the pau
city of our ammunition would have limited
the number of assaults We would have
been able to resist.
We originally started the siege with
1900 troops, 1000 civilians and 1000 ma
tives. Between casualties and sickness
5000 soldiers passed through the hospital
1t Is impossible to overemphasize the pri-
vatfons Of the sick. Since the middle of
January man once down was practically
lost The reduced rations of the soldiers
just sufhced for their subsistence. Daily
thirty old horses and mules were slaugh-
tered and converted into soup and sausages.
From January 15 to now there have been
over 200 deaths from disease alone.
The last fortnight saw the majority OF
the field batteries endorsed and the guns
permanently posted in our defenses. The
cavalry and drivers were converted into
infantry and sent to the trenches. A line
of defenses had been constructed with the
view Of a possible final contingency, if the
outer works should be carried.
Since the investment the total casual
ties were: Killed or died of wounds, "a
officers and 235 men; died of disease 8
officers and $40 men; wounded, 20 officers
and $40 men, exclusive Of white civilians
