We were led right into The Boer
trenches by guides and before We could
ieploy from clljmn half OF us We're
shot down. We all ran for our lives
and reformed five hundred yards back.

again tried the trenches But Is was

without food or drink, ard In tie at-
ternoon the Boer shells began bursting
among us SO we made the best of our

The camp at Modder river was full

our every movement was watched and
information carried to the enemy. Why

of these 6lsloyal cOlonials have been

why 50 many young officers are sent
out to take charge Of old soldiers.
Why can't we have more Of our old
officers: My late captain, who left US
at Aldershot, came TO see US on and
we asked why he was not coming with
us. He replied that the war Office

THE OLD WATERWAY SUPERSEDED.
The old wooden waterway has been replaced
by a 42-inch pipe, which brings the water froe
the stock which is accumulated behind the
twenty-five feet of stone dam, and from this
great feedpipe three lesser pipes lead to the
turbine wheels which operate the machinery
The feed wheel is twenty -four inches in
diameter, a 2S-inch wheel drives the wheat
