The Major-General explained to him the localsituation, and said that he proposed to reinforce the little party ofArgyll and Sutherland Highlanders in the river bank, and under coverof their fire on the farm, rush it, and then make every effort tocross the river by the islands at Rosmead. Lord Methuen approved, andsome twenty or thirty more of the Argyll and Sutherland rushed downinto the donga. A strong flanking patrol of the Kin...g's Own YorkshireLight Infantry, under Lt. R. M. D. Fox, supported by a detachment ofthe Argyll and Sutherland, was now utilised for the attack on thehouse and kraal. The Boers did not make a vigorous resistance butretreated across the river as the British advanced, and at about 11. 30the farm and the rocky ground were in Major-General Pole-Carew'shands.
