CHAPTER XIII
25/38

In the intervals of their fire we could distinctly hear big guns far away near Colenso and the Tugela River.
They were chiefly English guns, for the explosion followed directly on the report, proving they were fired towards us.

The firing stopped about 10 a.m.
All morning our two howitzers, which have been brought down from Waggon Hill, pounded away at their old enemy, the 6 in.

gun now placed on Telegraph Hill as I described.

They are close down by the Klip River, west of the old camp.

Their object is to drive the gun away as they drove him before, and certainly they gave him little rest.
