Any one of these of- ficers, were he going to ride a steeplechase, would take the trouble to walk over the course at least once, and the ignorance of all of those who conducted this expedition seems to me to be even a better reason for taking away their commissions than the fact of their having infringed a Foreign Enlistment act. The night was very cold, and the rain still fell heavily; the men were wet to the skin, their stomachs were empty, their limbs were stifif and sore and their eyes so g...lazed for want of sleep that they could hardly see their gun sights. The Boer bullets fell among them from every side, and there was nothing at which they could fire in return but the flashes in the darkness. Toward mid- night they lagged, and while half the force tried to sleep the remaining half continued firing, and many of those on guard took advantage of the darkness to steal away and desert the sinking ship while there was yet time for them to save themselves. One officer, who was sent out that night on patrol duty, told me that he had taken with him a detail of six men, but that only two reurned.
