For myself, I spent most of the day on Waggon Hill west of the town, where the 1st K.R.Rifles have three companies and a strong sangar, very close to the enemy.

I found that, as became Britons, their chief interest lay in sport.

They had shot two little antelopes or rehbuck, and hung them up to be ready for a feast.
Their one thought was to shoot more.

From the hill I looked down upon one of Bester's farms.

The owner-a Boer traitor-was now in safe keeping.
A few days ago his family drove off in a waggon for the Free State.
White were their parasols and in front they waved a Red Cross flag.
