The Gloucesters and the Royal Irish Fusiliers--they join the squadron of the 18th Hussars in Pretoria gaols.
Two Boers came in blindfolded to tell the news last night.

All day long we have been fetching in the wounded.

Their wounds are chiefly from Martini rifles, and very serious.

I know the place of the disaster well, having often ridden there when the Boers were at a more respectful distance.

It is an entangled and puzzling country, full of rocks and hills and hidden valleys.
