Story of Colenso

There is still a dispu eas to how clcra the Boers actually were at Colenso to Colonel Longs lost guns. Here is au acoount Mr Bonnet Burleigh obtained from the Boer side, furnished by one of the ez-burghers. The information is supplied by PietNlel, who was* corporal in the Boer army, a position nigh equal to that of lieutenant In our forces.

Ab the battle (Colenso) some of aa wert hid under the river banks and ethers towards Hlangwani. When with murder ous Mauser fire, used at close range, not more than 800 yards, we had shot down the gunners, horses, and most of the men, as well as the infantry escort to Colonel Long's batteries, none hut dead And wounded remaining upon the field, I went oub with eight men and several mult teams, accompanied by natives, to try and haul the guns away. Whilst approach ing the batteries a Boer fell off his house, and the horses that two other of my comrades were riding were shot from under them. Instantly taking cover wt signalled back to the leaders of the mule teams to halt, and screen themselves. Then we tried to locate our as yet unseen enamy. I crawled cautiously forward some distance, and got nearly killed, a ballet splashing full upon the front of a bum! rock behind which I had paused for a moment*

Then It was that but thirty feet distant I saw a white, haggard face, with two gleaming, burning eyes, peering over the barrel of a rifle. The khaki soldier, for such he was, probably thought that he had laid me out. That pause was toy isole chance, so I fired and ahot him In the fore* head, blinding for ever those burning eyes* The poor khaki must have been a man of rare courage, a soldier worthy of the heat traditions of the British Army* I found that both his legs had been blown off below the knees by the spiteful fire of one of out ponrpoms. He had tied the shattered stumps with his putties, and exerting all his remaining strength, managed to drag himself and gather and pile together alow breastwork of loose stones In front of him. He was one of the infantry escort undoubt edly, and determined to defend the guns whilst life remained, The putties were thickly died with his blood, and it drenched the ground—a big coagulated pitch beneath where his dreadfully mangled limbs rested, His Lee Metford held ive more cartriges in the magailne, whilst some 20 more he had drawn from bis pouch lay handy for him ready for use. Whilst I and my comrades, who came up, were looking at the dead soldier, we heard a faint voice asking for a drink of water. A few steps away we found a Bri tish officer. He looked anxiously into our faces, and repeated the words, * Water, water.' So I stooped down and placed my bottle to his lips, from whioh he drank greed ily. The draught revived him, for he smiled, and tendered me his sporting Lee Metford as a reward. But I could not take it, for the barrel was filled with blood, and the outside was sticky and wet, and I felt sorry for the poor fellow. His dead horse lay beside him, and pinned him by the leg. We moved the animal off, got him free, and made him as comfortable as we could and gave him some more water. Subsequently, when the British sent the ambulances out to collect their wounded, we helped to bear him to one of these vehicles. Months afterwards I iearnei that this youug officer was none other than Lieutenant Roberts, V.O.
