Godfrey, wintering in Madeira with Milly, her unmarried daughter, had been attacked with something like enteric; that the hotel, anxious for its good name, had thrust them both out into a cottage annexe; that he was off with a nurse, and that I was not to leave England till I heard from him again.
"Mr. Heigham is dead," she answered, watching his face narrowly. "Dead, impossible!" "He died of enteric fever at Madeira. I have just been to break the news to Angela." "Oh, indeed, she will be pained; she was very fond of him, you know." Lady Bellamy smiled contemptuously. "Did you ever see any one put to the extremest torture? If you have, you can guess how your daughter was 'pained."
Major Donegan sent out thirty-six cases of enteric to Intombi Camp from the divisional troops' hospital alone. Probably over fifty went in all. Everything now depends on Buller's winning a great victory. It seems incredible that two British armies should be within twenty miles of each other and powerless to move. I cannot induce a Kaffir runner to start now.
My claim a disappointment Good results attained elsewhere A surprised Boer "Kopje wallopers" Thunderstorms A shocking spectacle "Old Moore" and his love affair The morning market Attack of enteric I go to King William's Town to recruit Toby once more A venture in onions Return to Kimberley The West End mess The Rhodes brothers Norman Garstin H. C. Seppings Wright "Schipka" Campbell Cecil John Rhodes A game of euchre The church bell Raw natives Alum diamonds Herbert Rhodes and the cannon His terrible end.
It was known that enteric was rife in the town, that shell and bullet and typhoid germ had struck down a terrible proportion of the garrison, and that the rations of starved horse and commissariat mule were running low. With their comrades in many cases their linked battalions in such straits within fifteen miles of them, Buller's soldiers had high motives to brace them for a supreme effort.
He was now safe from bullets, anyway. And yet this enteric was a virulent disease! The Times was full of deaths therefrom. Why could he not be lying out there in that up-country hospital, and his boy safe at home? The un-Forsytean self-sacrifice of his three children, indeed, had quite bewildered Jolyon.
We found him recovering from a severe attack of enteric fever complicated with pneumonia of the right lung. A fine, handsome young man, once the leader of the singing in a philharmonic club, now the devoted servant of God, his whole anxiety seemed to be as to when he could return to his work.
In that old war, of course, his nephew Val Dartie had been wounded, that fellow Jolyon's first son had died of enteric, "the Dromios" had gone out on horses, and June had been a nurse; but all that had seemed in the nature of a portent, while in this war everybody had done "their bit," so far as he could make out, as a matter of course.
Enteric fever was already dogging their steps, but still, compared with many of their comrades, they might indeed 'rest and be thankful. =The Soldiers' Home at Sterkstroom.= Let us first of all glance at Mr. and Mrs. Osborne Howe in the midst of their work. It is the opening of their Soldiers' Home. The date is Thursday, February 15.
I have been privileged to see certain letters written to his wife by the friend with whom he shared his Ladysmith house during the course of his illness. "How he contracted enteric fever," says Mr Maud, "I cannot tell. It is unfortunately very prevalent in the camp just now.
