thirty men started, led by mine manager
from the Rand over sixty years OF age.
They posted up the hill through hell OF
fire till they go within 700 yards. There,
crouched under anthills. they could neithef
go on nor get back.
They cheerfuIly proposed to stay there
till night and then get away-if the Beers
let them.
The general sent galloper of the Fifth
Dragon Guards to tel them to retire at
all costs. The plucky fellow made des-
perate ride and then gave his message. A
squadron OF the same regiment went for
ward and dismounted to cover them. The
result was what / saw; but Of the thirty
that went UP only twelve came down.
The rest Of the fight saw the retirement

lines Of lancers, the pattering guns linn

now trotting to cover the next movement,

shrapnel again; but that also you have

been written about the coral jewelry OF

pendants. and red coral rosaries like drops
of blood-but the impression should not be
gained that the lapidary art Of the Manila

Of woven gold. fiigrees Of silver. and pen
