I had appointed Judge Hertzog as a second Vice-Commander-in-Chief, to carry out the same work in the districts of Fauresmith, Philippolis and Jacobsdal. The latter was the man who, when the burghers from Fauresmith, even before the taking of Bloemfontein, had remained behind, broke through with seventy or eighty troops.
Day after day Guy drove on along the uncertain roads, past queer outlying towns of white wooden houses Cradock, and Middelburg, and Colesberg, and others till they crossed at last the boundary of Orange River into the Free State, and halted for a while in the main street of Philippolis. It was a dreary place; Guy began now to see the other side of South Africa.
They streamed in such large numbers on this and the following days, that my highest hopes were surpassed. It is true that certain burghers had remained behind. Such was the case with the men from Fauresmith and Jacobsdal, and with a large proportion of the commandos from Philippolis, Smithfield, Wepener, and Bloemfontein.
