De Wet had not reckoned with the
new factor that has come into war
since he ranged the veldt a dozen
years ago.
He and his followers rode and raided
with all his old skill and invention.
The difference was that they never
had a chance to rest They had
horses in plenty, they knew the coun'
try like the backs OF their hands, but
no matter how fast or skillfully they
rode they could never really get away
from their foes. Though their horses
