was during the bombardment of lloml-

A siniIIur deed is recorded of Cap-

with its burning fuse from among
several powder cases outside the
magazine at Sebastopol and threw it
over the parapet, saving the maga-

men. 'l'he shell, it is said, burstas

terrible risk to himself, flung hint-

Hook and Wil1mlt11Y were the only
unhuri 'nen in their part of the
building and woes forced to escape
trent room to room, carrying the
wounded, one by one. in their orals.
The rooms had no intercommunica-
tion and so one man cut holes in
the partition with a pickaxe while
the other. held the outer door, rifle
in hand. The last room nearest. the
leafier had for its only exit a win-
dow so small that Williams was
obliged to enlarge it with his pick-
axe to get the wounded through it.
RESCUE ALL AT LAST.
}Took, meanwhile, defermlcit the
hole in the wall, through which they
had wine, the Zulus stubbing hire
through blinding and almost suffo-
cating snokc. When the window
was enlarged, Williams lifted the
patients through in the laagcr. 'then
he himself followed. pulling hook
through after him, just in time to
evade a final rush of the Zulus.
!look's heroism won hint not only
the Victoria cross, but a substan-
tial promotion and later a post on
the staff of the British Museum. He
died in London a short time ago.
Another private, whose courage
and se'lf-sacritico were as great as
Hook's, was Peter Brown, a troop-
er of the Cape Mounted Rifles. In
storming a mountain stronghold dur-
ing the itasuto V''ar several mem
were wounded. Three of theta
crept to the poor shelter of a +1111)11
rock in the middle of nn open space
and soon began to "cry piteously
for water."
It appeared to be certain death to
go to theta, as the open space where
the sheltering stone lay was com-
pletely swept by titre of all the
schnnzen on that part of the moun-
tain. 'Their screanl4, however, be-
came quite heart-rending, and. after
a minute or two, Brown said, with
nn oath: "i can't stand this any
longer; has anyone any water?" Ile
was handed a tin canteen half full
of water, and he coolly walked
across the open space. knelt down
beside the rock, and, without mak-
ing the slightest attempt to shelter
hiutsclf, began to pour water into
the mouth of one of the wounded
!nen. While doing this a bullet
broke his arta. He quickly picker) up
the canteen and went on pouring the
water into the man's mouth with his
other hand, and almost immediately
a second bullet struck him in the leg
ant! he fell over among the Omen to
