The gaol was not largeenough. The Town Hall was suggested. But the mines were finallyselected--with exquisite irony; for we little dreamt that the thousandsde...stined eventually to be driven there should be--our friends, indeed, but not our friend the enemy!
Friday was quiet, and a very jovial day in town. The Boers--in blissfulignorance of their approaching doom--occupied themselves in disfiguringthe railway line still more.
