Happily no serious harm was done, and the rest of the day was as quiet as Sunday usually is.
On our side we were engaged all day in preparing a new home for "Lady Anne" on Waggon Hill, south-west of the town.

The position, as I have often described, gives a splendid view of the country towards Basutoland and the Free State mountains.

It also commands some four miles of the Maritzburg road towards Colenso and the guns which the Boers have set up there to check the approach of a relieving force.

By late afternoon the enormous sangar was almost finished.

The gun will be carried over on a waggon at night.
