Before Viljoen's force made its way over the line it had its revenge for the long harrying it had undergone by a well-managed night attack, in which it surprised and defeated a portion of Colonel Beatson's column at a place called Wilmansrust, due south of Middelburg, and between that town and Bethel.
Their extinction has probably been caused by the entire destruction of the woods, and the consequent loss of food and shelter, which occurred during the early part of the last century. The history of the changes, which the elevated plains of Longwood and Deadwood have undergone, as given in General Beatson's account of the island, is extremely curious.
Whatever else may happen, there are few who will not hope that the mystery respecting the missing explorers, who sailed on their fatal voyage in 1845, may now be cleared up.

The Sorrows of Araminta, a novel, in nine volumes Oh, charming! together with a tragedy on the same plan Delightful! Subscriptions received at Joseph Beatson's, printer and bookseller; and by Rachael Hodges Odious name! at Mrs. Bertrand's." "Bartrand! There now you, do ye hear that? the lady lives at Mrs.
There were seven of them, which were arranged as follows: Two columns started from Middelburg under Beatson and Benson, which might be called the left wings of the movement. The object of Beatson's column was to hold the drifts of the Crocodile River, while Benson's was to seize the neighbouring hills called the Bothasberg.
