SIX HEROIC BLACKS

London, Oct. 513.-News has just
reached England from Lake Chad OF a T
case Of almost unparalleled bravery on
the part Of British native troops, who,
under the leadership Of a black cor
and subsequently drove off with con-
siderable loss, force of Tuaregs out |
numbering the defenders by nearly |
eighty to one.
Owing to the remoteness of the region
in which the incident occurred, and the
fact, that no white officer was present
at the time, only the bare facts are yet
some time in June the British post at
Yo was surprised by raiding band OF
masked Tuareg or .Tibu people, who in
fest that part Of the Sahara, bordering
on the Anglo-French frontier to the
northwest OF Lake Chad, and who have
at various times greatly harassed the
French. tlzA> t.sE E%1 73.<
As is commonly: the case in northern
Nigeria, the military quarters and resi-
dency are erected outside the native
town whose name they bear, and In this
case they were in an isolated position
on a mound some distance outside the
native town of: Yo.. For some time
the white resident had oeen absent,
having been removed to another center,
and the place, merely ranking as
frontier post, was held only by six
native mounted infantry of the West
African frontier force, under the COM
mand of a black corporal, armed only
with carbines.
Whether the Tuaregs came from the
British territory or whether they
crossed from the north bank of the 70
river is not certain, but it appears that
the raiders, numbering about 500,
looted the native town and then turned
their attention to the tiny garrison on
the adjacent hill. Armed with poisoned
arrows and spears, and carrying shields,
the Tuareg IS, for space Of two hours,
made repeated and determined attempts
to reach the half dozen men who were
defending the summit from behind
low mud breastwork, but the we'll d.
rected efforts of the native troops
caused such loss among the Tuareg's
that they became disheartened and
finally retired.
Perhaps the most conspicuous act Of
gallantry on the part Of the garrison
was that, at this stage, instead of re-
naming in the comparative security of
their position, they seized their horses
and galloped after the retreating raid
ers, whom they overlook and further
severely punished. -
One of the West African frontier
force was wounded. The gallant con
duct Of the corporal will be brought
before the authorities, and he will be
recommended for promotion.
