Bruce Hamilton had reached Fort Itala upon September 28th and Walter Kitchener had been despatched to Vryheid. Two British forces, aided by smaller columns, were endeavouring to surround the Boer leader. On October 6th Botha had fallen back to the north-east of Vryheid, whither the British forces had followed him.
It would have been inconsistent with the dignity and self-respect of this Government not to have insisted that the Itala should be returned to San Diego to abide the judgment of the court.
On the point of the angle which, at that time, the Transvaal thrust into Zululand were two British posts, Forts Prospect and Itala. Botha was beginning to be doubtful about the eventual success of his Natal raid, but thought that as he was on the spot he might as well be doing something.
The canon of Muratori, about A.D. 160, omits Hebrews, both epistles of Peter, James and Jude, as uncanonical, and expresses doubts as to the Revelation. The Peshito Syriac, about A.D. 200, omits Second Peter, Jude, Second and Third John and Revelation. The Latin Version Itala, about the middle of the second century, omits James and Second Peter.
Virgil made Theocritus and Hesiod speak in Latin. Horace had brought over the old Aeolian bards; Propertius, too, must make his boast of having enticed Callimachus to the Tiber's banks "Primus ego ingredior puro de fonte sacerdos Itala per Graios orgia ferre chores."
A current Latin translation of the Old and New Testament the so-called Itala, which itself only survives as the ground-work of later versions had already been made, and was in wide use.
Considering the impossibility of replacing the men, and the fruitless waste of valuable ammunition, September 26th was an evil day for the Boer cause. The British casualties amounted to seventy-three. The water of the garrison of Fort Itala had been cut off early in the attack, and their ammunition had run low by evening.
