We had several slight skirmishes with the English; and at sunset we nearly fell into their hands, but fortunately we were successful in holding the enemy in check until our small laager had passed. During that night we marched to Hondeblaf River. The following morning we found that there was no grass for the horses, for the locusts had eaten it all.
There was now only one course open to us and that was to cross as quickly as possible the railway line near Hopetown, for if an English force was brought down by rail, it would mean our utter destruction. We accordingly moved away at once from Hondeblaf River. The following day the English were again hot on our track.
