Except for an occasional skirmish between the outposts and scouting patrols, and the normal bombardment of the Boer works by the Naval Battery, much of which was of a spasmodic nature, nothing of much import occurred to call for comment. 116 AWAITING REINFORCEMENTS 117 Commander Limpus again prosecuted his scientific re- searches, the result of his labour being the completion of a telescopic survey of the surrounding country — a work of inestimable value. Always on the alert for any new move- m...ent, he observed that the road bridge over the Tugela was proving too serviceable to the Boers, and a very unde- sirable advantage for them to possess. General Buller said it must be destroyed. Accordingly, the fate of the bridge — a fine iron structure supported by stone piers — was delivered over to the precision of fire of the 47 guns. At a range of 7660 yards. Lieutenant Hunt and C. P. O. Stephens undertook the work of demolition. Upwards of thirty pro- jectiles were fired, and the bridge itself was struck several times ; but its destruction proved a matter of difficulty, owing to the fact that the object was nearly in an alignment with the line of fire.
