Interesting Letter From Ernie
Hudson in South Africa.
BRUSHES WITH THE BOERS.
Breakdown Camp, nea,r Wares baths,
8Joseph Riac1111, ralcil:aseci',,: Sept. 9t3, 1900.
Dear Site -I thought I Would write
you a few Mee to let you know how
we are getting along. We had things
a little more lively lately, I am glad
to say. We formed part of a flying
column under 53t-41. We left our camp
on the 'eta and started towards Pre-
toria, but we only got a glimpse of it
through the hills, but we saw Lord
Roberts that morning, so that more
titan made up for our disappointment
at not going into- Pretoria.. Lord Rob-
erts reviewed us as we were crossing
the railroad track. We thought of the
way we looked as we marched past
him that morning, and the way we
have to buck up and hold your head
just so, when we have a march past
at Niagara CE1.11-42. Some of us had our
coats off. In fact, I believe we were
all in our altirt sleeves, and we tepee
also pretty dusty, and quitet a, few
with the knees out of our trousers,.
Active seen ice and camp are very dif-
ferent, I can assure you. Wen, we
were on the Dutchmen's trail hot and
heavy. We anew by certain things we
saw teat they couldn't be over three
miles or so ahead of us (this was on
the 20th), and our right section guns,
numbers 1 and 2, did some splendid
work by saving: two squadrons of the
Rhodesians that afternoon. Colonel
Sprekley was killed that afternoon.
On the 21et we came Into action at
l'inaar River Station, and talk about
a lively ride, we had one in the after-
noon, just before we came into action. •
The Dutchmen started to run, and our
troops after them, and it was fun and
ito mistake, eyerybody riding as
feet as their horses could carry •
them, Through bush and :deeP

so we thought it was about time
to seek for pastures news We ae-
cordingly moved off to esalle-
port the 4.7 gun on a email
kopje, we were behind the big gun
untier cover of the brush, and we
witnessed a duel between our 4.7 and
the Dutchmen's 45 pounder. Say but
that 4.7 makes a racked uoise vasen
she is fired, and the roar of the shell
when site bursts is awful. Well, the
Dutchmen's shells were dropping all
around us, but, I am glad to say,
none were bit. Their shells were,
very defective, very few burst pro-
PerlY. We picked up lots of them
with just the fuse blown out. One
dropped about 12 paces from our
number six gun, so we shifted our.
position, and after that their firing
gradually slackened. I did not hear
the number of casualties. I believe
they were light though, I am glad
to say. That evening our gun, with
an escort of about 100 British in-
fantry (the West Ridings) left Warm
Baths at 7 o'clock, and marched to
our present position. We arrived at
10 p.m., and ha,re been here ever
since. The reason we came here was
that the Boers derailed a train and
we are here as a guard while the
track and engine are being repaired.
There are 114 men here, all told, but
we are well entrenched, and it Mr.
L'oer feels inclined to pay us a visit
we will tender him the warmest kind
of a reception. We built an epaul-
ment for our gun, on which a Cana-
dian flag is proudly flying, so now
all we have to de is to attend to our
horses twice a day and sleep the
rest of the time. We have 1.1 horses
with me There is just the gun dee
taehment and the drivers here, and
Lieut. King, end we are contented to
stay here as /ems., as they mind to
keep us. The ts•eather is getting un-
comfortably het, and it makes aper-
ient feel weary. lt seems to take all
the life out of a lean. All you
want to aha Is clown and
sleep, and you bet lye act arcordingly.
