y - “Thia is not so'm uch,” says Mr. Wil­liams, “on account,of any lack of provl- slons or of ammuniilon, neither of .which

‘is yet exhausted, .as because of the poi­sonous water? of the Klip river."

A dispatch to The Daily Mall 'from Pieter’s station, dated Sunday, Feb. 25, and describing‘the 12 . days’ continuous

..fighting of which the attack upon Rnll- woy hlll by^thp Royal Enniskillen fusi-

“The Ennlsklllens Joined; the cblutnn w ith 24 , officers. .They have five, le f t

: ties of these < bills and ridges, which soc- .ceed each other like waves in a heavy ‘ sea, one glvftg 'w ay only to another.

“Each can .^e enfiladed, and until jone ' Is taken I t is impossible, even .with the

keenest, scooting, :to know what fortunes lio beyond It. The military problem changes o s ' the, column advances,, each kop]e refusing to -give op Its-secret until the advancing troops have touched: its crest. ■ ■ a

: the uniforms clung to the inen like wet . seaweed.' Mud caught them under foot. ‘‘M ists closed down and shot out the post*

tion of the enemy.>. ' “This discomfort Is borne by all alike:
