After crossing the railway Hertzog made for Petrusville, where he heard that De Wet had passed through the town on his way south, and followed him.
They knew that freedom was a pearl of such value that no man since the world began had been able to set a price upon it. When General Fourie had abandoned the waggons, he retreated to the south, crossing the railway at De Aar. He joined me again near Petrusville when I was returning to the Free State.
I may mention here that Lieutenant Malan, who became afterwards Commandant, and ultimately Vechtgeneraal, had penetrated into the Colony with fifty or sixty men, and had advanced considerably farther than I had done. That afternoon I ordered the small waggon to proceed to a point between Philipstown and Petrusville.
