Buller's only scored once, when Aspinall, their wing three, who had his Seconds, got a decent pass, and ran practically the whole length of the field. Towards the end, however, the light House grovel got tired and was penned in its own half. "Come on, House," Gordon yelled. "One more rush; let the swine have it!" The House was exhausted, it managed to keep Buller's out; but no more.

The particulars of Buller's interview with the Sheriff spread rapidly in Salt Lick, and caused great indignation among the residents thereof, especially those who frequented Hades. It was a reproach to the place that the law should be invoked, all on account of a trivial incident like that of the day before.

He thought that Crofton had been wounded, and neither saw Thorneycroft nor knew until the following day that Warren had given him the local rank of Brigadier-General at Buller's suggestion. Thorneycroft was a junior major in the Army, having the local rank of Lieutenant-Colonel: and with two colonels senior to him present as well as a major-general, he was doubtful as to his status.

Buller's had had too much success of late years; and envy was inevitably at work. The selection of the combined outhouse side caused a lot of consideration. There was once an idea of playing Hazlitt minor, but much to the annoyance of the House this plan was, from the outhouse point of view, wisely dropped. And now Jack Whitaker he was always known as Jack enters the story.

They went into Buller's yard through gates. There were sheds in Buller's yard sheds of mystery that the moonlight could not solve a smell of cows, and a pump stood out clear and black, throwing a clear black shadow on the whitewashed wall. And here it was his face was to be battered to a pulp.

There was good hope that in a few weeks the already undermined fabric of Boerdom would totter to the ground, and that the worst that could happen was that some of the fragments might not fall clear of the British troops. The arrival of Buller's force from the south gave Lord Roberts, who returned from Pretoria on August 25, the reinforcement justifying the resumption of the eastward advance.

Elsewhere in the open, dust whirled in thinner, higher wreaths above groups of horsemen hurrying off in confusion, and paying no heed to the straits of their transport. A beaten army in full retreat if I have ever seen one! Still people doubted and grew uneasy, because of General Buller's silence.

Sir Redvers Buller's second attempt A message from the Queen Last sad farewells Burial of Steevens and Lord Ava At dead of night Relief army north of the Tugela Water difficulties surmised A look in at Bulwaan Spion Kop from afar What the watchers saw The Boers trekking Buller withdraws The "key" thrown away Good-bye to luxuries Precautions against disease "Chevril" The damming of the Klip Horseflesh unabashed One touch of pathos Vague memories of home Sweet music from the south Buller tries again Disillusionment The last pipe of tobacco.

Time here as elsewhere was working for the British, for reinforcements were steadily coming to Buller's army.

Such service as this was thoughtful indeed, and friends at home will greatly appreciate it. For three weeks at Intombi they were on quarter rations. Then, as Buller's guns were heard in the distance, they were allowed half rations; but on Ash Wednesday morning, the morning of relief, they were reduced to quarter rations again. What this meant who can tell? How could they resist disease?
