cesters, under Capt. Havel.
The artillery attack began at sun-
rise. The Bgera approached in great
numbers, estimated at 7 to 1. The
British, under goad cover, sustained
t'he attack throughou the day,
Meanwhile, two, big guns on the
west opened up on the British at day-
light and fired for hall an hour, when
u British howitzer silenced them with
lyddtte, the British artillery firing
with precision.
Then another Boer.gtin to the north
opened on the Royal eolith Riles, but
rather ineffectually, as the Rifles had
good cover.
The shelling continued all day and
evening. The Boons brought up a 40-
pounder in order to bombard the camp
from, a hill to the north: The attempt
was pie ndy visible, as the gun could
be seen being drawn uP by 18 oxen.
