And the first gun barked death. And then after all it was a false alarm. At the first shell you could see through glasses mounted men scurrying up the slopes of the big opposite hill ; by the third they were gone. And then, as our guns still thudded — thud came the answer. Only where ? Away, away on the right, from the green kopje over the brown one where still struggled the reserves of our infantry. Limbers ! From halves the guns were whole again, and wheeled away over plough-land to the railw...ay. Down went a length of wire-fencing, and gun after gun leaped ringing over the metals, scor- ing the soft pasture beyond. We passed round the leftward edge of the brown hill and joined our infantry in a broad green valley. The head of it was the second skyline we had seen ; beyond was THE BATTLE OF ELANDSLAAGTE. 55 a dip, a swell of kopje, a deep valley, and beyond that a small sugar-loaf kopje to the left and a long hog-backed one on the right — a saw of small ridges above, a harsh face below, freckled witlji innumer- able boulders.
