On March 1 the garrison reverted to a full half-ration of biscuits and horseflesh, and an attempt was made to harass the Boers, who were in full retreat towards the Biggarsberg. Sir George White had made careful inquiries among the regiments for men who would undertake to walk five miles and fight at the end of the march.

They camped on high land; and next morning they heard Hamilton's distant sunrise gun boom over the water. "One half-ration for the men," said Clark, looking disconsolately in the direction whence the sound had come.
Three days after the contrabands commenced their work, five days' rations were served to them, a soldier's ration for each laborer, and half a ration for each dependant. The allowance was liberal, as a soldier's ration, if properly cooked, is more than he generally needs, and the dependant for whom a half-ration was received might be a wife or a half-grown child.
