Three Years’ War

CHAPTER V
15/22

The small number of burghers I had at my disposal made it impossible for me to surround the English camp.
To our great surprise, the following morning, we saw that the English had gone.

About twenty soldiers had, however, remained behind; we found them hidden along the banks of the Riet River at a short distance from the convoy.

We also discovered thirty-six Kaffirs on a ridge about three miles away.

As to the enemy's camp, it was entirely deserted.

Our booty was enormous, and consisted of two hundred heavily-laden waggons, and eleven or twelve water-carts and trollies.
