'Winnie Wynne's on'y got to beg her bread. She's alive. 'Where is she? I cried. 'Oh, Sinfi, I shall go mad! 'There you're too fast for me, brother, said she, 'when you ask me where she is; but she's alive, and I ain't come quite emp'y-handed of news about her, brother. 'Oh, tell me! said I.

At the door Essec Powell held Lewis Wynne's hand for a moment. "Do you think the little gel will forgive me? and do you think the young fellow will find her?"

"Sunstroke, did you say? are you sure of that, Belton?" "Not at all," said the doctor; "in fact, I have had serious doubts of it lately, and to-day's experience decides me. I will have a thorough examination of his skull."

Three hours later a telegram was on its way to Pretoria to tell how triumphantly the burghers had driven back an attack which was never meant to go forward.
The line of approach to Ladysmith was held by the enemy, and the British Army of relief, the greater part of which had crossed to the left bank of the Tugela, was entangled in the Colenso Kopjes, and the river loop.
