Thia has bee,; strengthened to -day by our own men, in case of a night attack: .We send out heavy outposts every night, and also have the railway, patrol. 1 have been on two of these-outpests, The first picket sent out by the Cana_ diads was - at Orange 1tiver:.: We en- joyed the- experience very touch, and when we were called •up'on, to turn out again last night- there was not a man who did not volunteer • to - go, We were out all. night in a rattling thunder storm and gut ringing wet, but that did not dampen us any. We were just as lively in 'the . morning when daylight oame as if it had been a bright moonlight night. Our work last night was to patrol the railway' for a mile and watch the culverts. The night was as dark as pitch. - The only light we•had was theflash- inglightning, which would light up the country for over a mile. Just as the day began to break, we could hear reveille sound in • the camp.

Since I wrote last we 'were • en- I camped at Orange River. This is a rai.way sidtag an l alio supply station, There we relieved the Gordon High- landers anti the Australians, who went - forward to Belmont, At Orange River there is a hospital tent, where a num. leer of the wounded are cared for.'The morning we were camped there a pri-. vete of the Shropshire Rrgiment.ci:d • from the effects of wounds received at Madder diver. He was buried in a Lonely grave on the plains, with all the pomp of a military funeral. The sight of the funeral made somc'oe the boys stop to think, but when the cortege had passed they at once became as lively as ever. Thera are a number . of lonely graves on the -plains around Orange River, and mare at Belmont, where we are now. Here there are 81 of the Grenadiers- buried- on -'the plains, while there are a number of the other regiments es well. , Tho latest addition to our list of mascots is a young goat. Douglas Graham whose people live on Cobourg street, captured the kid in the hills the other day, sad nowt it leas become the pride of the company. The youngster has become very tame and is a great pet. That night the boys of l+To, 1 tent had a christening, and named the goat Baby Rogers, This brings the list 'ai mascoi:s up t o .three --a kid, a dog and a eat. The next thing the boys will have will be - an ostriob. These birds are as think as bees and are quite tame. Several of the boys have succeeded in Securing t very nice plumes, and will likely take them beck to their best girls in.Can_ ada. Another thing which- ie very common here are those neat little 'lir_ a . n rds about. eight inches long. They can t Veinlike the very mischief, and do not we Vein to be at all afraid of Men.
