Humble Tragedy of the Siege of Lady

When the Beers besieged Ladysmith
they permitted camp of refuge AMI
a field hospital to be established at In
tomb, few miles distant. Here the
non-combatants were gathered. And TO
the hospital, writes George Lynch in
the London Daily Express. came every
morning the train from Ladysmith,
bearing its burden of sick and wound
ed.
To the dwellers at Intombi that train
brought the history OF the siege, the
daily bulletin written In blood and dis
ease. Women who had husbands and
brothers and sons in Ladysmith crowd
ed around always to see what news 1t
brought, and went away with sigh Of
respite and relief when it carried moth
ing for them.
And yet, after fashion, these wom-
en- at Intombi were more fortunate than
the men In Ladysmlth, since they could
learn from the new arrivals how their
! loved ones Jared. But men We're not
allowed to go backward and forward
to Intombi; those who went had to re
main, and somehow or other little or nc
news seemed to reach the garrison.
In the dearth of news one man IN
Ladysmith had arranged that twice a
week, when he could get off duty, his
wife at Intombi should go at II O'Clock
and stand In front Of big marques
where he could see her through thu
ships telescope at the At battery.
She went there regularly with hel
child, and stralning her eyes toWart
that sandbagged point above Converts
Hill, sometimes fondly imagined tina
she could see him. And as the months
passed her child, like the others In thu
camp, grew more sickly, thin and pale
