A spent bullet struck him in the back as he was leaving camp.

The wound is mortal, and he had only just recovered from his wound at Elands Laagte.
So the fight began.

The official estimate of the Boers who gained the top is 600.

Eye-witnesses put the number at anything between 100 and 1,000.

The struggle continued from 3 a.m.till nearly seven at night.
