THE BRITISH SOLDIER UNDER FIRS.

I Nothing finer in the way of the de scription of soldiers and fighting hat been penned than the words by "Lines man" in the book recently published by William Blackwood, entitled, "Word* by an Eye-Witness." Take the follow ing as a sample:— a soldier's first action. What volumes have been written upon it, speculative mostly, lurid invari ably, reatiitio and truthful stldom, for the descriptions they deal in ire usually of emotions a man might feel, nay, ought to feel on an occasion when the whole naturalfabiio of humtß|life, thought and instinct i 6 turned inside oat find rent to shreds, I speak of modern engagements only. Old time fighting with its knee to knee and blade to blade was natural enough. It wai a venar ! able amusement even in the days of Amrapbel, King of Shinar, and his brother Bandits. Bat for • man t« stand up alive and warm, aware that huge invisible projectiles are hurtling towards him from invisible gang, with death unspeakable as their errand, that millions of deatbe fill the air, in the ihipe of r'fie bullets, that behind this screen of screaming steel lie thousands of men who seek big blood, who would cheer with joy to see him—hitherto cherished and beloved—daßbedinto a dozen bloody fragments before their eyea—this ia an experience go

UTTERLY UNNATURAL AND NEW, that strange to say, it defeats it own ends, and usually leaves unmoved those who undergo it for tbe first time. The writer's first tasto of Bre was «a unex pected shelling of the oimp when dinners were being prepared, and all men were in the peaceful frame of mind inseparable from, the fragrant smell of cooking meat. A high whistle, like an escape of gas in the air, a heavy thud upon the ground between two rows of tents, an appalling crash and a leap into the air of clods of earth, asd a whirring and groaning of fragments of jigged iron -—these were the signs amidst which the faint boom of the gun responsible for (htm was almost unnoticed. Another and another, while men still gaped at the first; the camp was under fire sate enough. How verj like the pictures was the bursting of the 401b shells ! All hands were ordered to seek shelter under the lea of a bit of rising groand in front j bow were all haods taking it, con* sideriog that they were men who bad only landed from the trans port three daye before 1 Appar ently they were not' taking it' at all, in the sense of being affected by it. I have seen soldiers make more fuss over the upsetting of a perambulator than they did over the shooting of those grica messages from the far-off kopje. Some slept, others lay grumbling it tbe spoilt dinner, a few took a mild in terest in the destination of the shells, and laughed a little when they fell and burst in a totally different spot to what they h»d expected, or laughed a good deal when they fell and did not burst; at all, aa often happened. It was. not an action, it is true, bat it was " being shelled," and shelled at one's very door ; so surely one bad ft right to look for a blanched face or two, or even a nervous manner in some of the younger soldiers. These shells did not even kill tbe usual dog, and when they ceased (and the Boer gun ners were no doubt counting tbe heaps of slain through tbeir field-glasses) tut hungry shelterers trooped back to their 'dixies' (kettles), and wasted no& • thought upon them, until tbe 'Macon ochie' (tinned ration) bad vanished, and there was nothing else to think of.

THIS BATTLE OF COLENSO, was no occasion for speculations upon the emotions of other people. Even one's own could not be quizzed from any analytical pedestal except by _aa investigator possessed of powers of detachment more than mortal. Yel certain incidents occur to the memory which may help to fill in the portrait we are trying to draw of Mr Atkins's mental attitude in battle. Early in the advance, long before the stupend ous folly of it had dawned upon any one, great shells were falling among the long lines of troops, for the most part between them, throwing up brown gey ; sers of soft earth all over the huge meadow over which the army was I spread. One of these monsters landed | with a shriek and a thump between the writer and the company he was leading but burst with a magnificent whirring roar. What did that company do t Did they suck back and paute—the very mildest expression of fear in » frightened man ? Did a single foot re main poised in the middle of a step until that explosion had upent itself f Not one. The company certainly losl its perfect alignment for a moment, because the men in the immediate vicinity of the cataclysm were edging rapidly towards it to search for frag ments of the shattered projectile, and to stare at the bole it had blasted iv the ground. Farther on, when we had entered that .

SPITTING, HUMMING SONS of rifle fire, the like of which no living soldier had ever before witnessed, a ballet skimmed along the top of a raan'i head, jusfc grazing the skin, and flicking off the hair in its coarse. Surely the time for a prayer, or even a shriek, if ever there, was one. 'I've just had a free 'air cat, matea.' was the only observation, heard by the officer who witnessed this ghastly jest of the Pale One. Theu came that series of spas modic rushes from ant hill to ant hill, which formed the laafe portion of that never-to be-forgotten advance. Rifle fire has often been compared to bail, bnt it is pretty safe to say that it never cave » more faithful representation
