ships may be regarded by the British

the Beers would have more heart and
courage and would be able to attack
and take important positions now held
by and essential to the British, which
they can not attack now without kill

10 withdraw from Pretoria, Johannes

by Dir. Paterson, Superintendent Of

He used the space inside the walls
for water storage. The water which
heretofore run to waste is now stored
in the reservoir ard this gives the asy-
