To read the story of how he obtained his Victoria Cross is like reading the deeds of some en- chanted prince in a fairy romance. Yet to those who know the man the astounding details seem to lose much of cheir marvellous quality. It was on March 28, 1879, at which time he was in command of the ted troops—strictly they were not cavalry—of Sir Evelyn Wood's column in the Zulu war. He had. been despatched by his der to clear the Inhlobane ‘TO ADVERTISERS. —_——_ “New reading matter ma advertisement attractive. ° gladly change your “tad” every issue if.copy is presented before 10 a. m. mountains.

The much-prized deco- ration was. won; not by a headlong rush against the foe, nor yet a sud- den impulse of gallantry, but by the ‘three unaffected acts of fish devotion involving almost certain death. First, when the pursuit was hot- test, he saw Captain D'Arcy, of the Frontier Light Horse, dismounted, him, and retiring on foot. Col. (as Sir Redvers then was) Buller,though he himself a big, heavy man, quite aload for a horse, especially after a tatiguing morning, promptly took Capt. D'Arcy up behind him and carried him out of reach of the foe. A little later on the same day, under similar circumstances and in the same manner, he rescued another officer of the Frontier Horse, Lieut. Everett. He finished—also on the same day—by carrying out of dan- ger a trooper whose horse was com- pletely exhausted. ‘When he took the man up behind bim the Zulus were within 80 yards of them. Three separate and distinct actions in one day, each of which would have ‘gained the famous bronze cross for any man! —EE THE JAMESON RAID. Nearly four years have elapsed since the Jameson raid at Krueg- ersdorf but the present stirring events in South Africa recall it vividly to mind. It was on the December 29, 1895, that the Chartered company’s po- lice and the Rhodesia horse, to the number of 320, headed by Dr. Jameson and Sir John Willoughby, decided to. invade the Transvaal, enter Johannesburg and force mat- ters to a crisis. On Monday morning, December 30, these 320 troopers, with as many more Kaffirs, crossed the border from Pisanito to Ottershoop, a distance of 3o miles, They were armed with magazine rifles,and had three field pieces. At Ottershoop they cut the tele- graph wires to prevent news of their coming from reaching the Boers, and then galloped out of town across the bleak and barren veldt. It was between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday when ersdorp,where they fourd the Boers awaiting them in force. Fighting continued until dusk. Jameson and hig men had worked around the town to the ‘right, having aban- doned an attempt to force a direct passage, and it was here that they charged the Boers and were driven back down the hillside, unable to withstand their deadly fire. =~ With the coming of dawn the Boer fire grew hotter, and the fight ended at 11:30. * The first signal of surrender was made with a torn shirt, tied to the muzzle of a rifle, but the Boers did not cease firing until. anothes white flag was hoisted. Then the Boers raised a similar ensign and three of them rode down the hill to what was left of Jameson’s band. They brought a demand for unconditional surrender, which Jameson refused, asking for a safe conduct of his whole force across the border. ‘he Boers replied that this was i i RossLAND EVENING RICORD, OCTOBER 41, tthe stone-dotted veldt, who was afterwards ith his companion, is now enroute to join the British army~ ived TPENDERS, will be Rgce ver poration of the city of Ross cLAssIBIED, Advertiventents under this head fuserted at the spate of One Conf a Word.
