On visiting the arsenal Myburgh was aston- ished alike at its extent and at its contents. There was in it complete equipment for more than twenty thousand men ; a great stock of modern rifles, millions of rounds of small arms ammunition, and material and stores of every kind ; an enormous haul. The occupation of Tsumeb by Myburgh closed one back door ; the occupation of Namutoni by Brits on July 6 closed the other. Namutoni is a remote place on the Ovamboland boundary. When surrender became imm...inent much of the German transport and a large stock of munitions had been removed there in order, as it was supposed, to be out of harm's way. Brits, of whom little had been heard, appeared before the posi- tion, completely to the surprise of the German garrison. In face of the strength of the Union brigade resistance was out of the question. The German commandant and his contingent, some 200 strong, capitulated. Considering the German record in South-west Africa, though the full villainy of it had not then come to light, the terms accorded to the defeated enemy by General Botha have been pronounced magnanimous.
