At any moment they can plump their shells right into his sangar, and the Boer gunners are frightened to work there.

In fact, they have as effectually silenced that gun as if they had smashed it to pieces.

They are worked by the Royal Artillery, two dismounted squadrons of the I.L.H.acting as escort or support.

Them I found on picket at the extreme end of the hill.
