‘im TROOPS HOWE” DOWN. .A Fcbfkl Fight with the Boers Lalng's Nek. The Durban correspondent of the London Times supplies fuller details of the Laing's Net affair. He says that Sir George Galley was quite aware of the gent strength of the .Boer ition. Major oole havmg recon- noitr it at night. The artillery on the right advance shelled the camp for three- uarters of an hour. the Boers not firing. . t was then thought 'ble to take a position 600 yards on a side at the point of the bayonet. A mounted squadron of seventy men was orderedtocarry the height on the extreme right. Under Major .Brownlow and Captain Hornby they rode close up to the kopje. and in about five‘ \seconds half of their saddles were empty. Troop Sergeant-Major Lunny actually got .into the Boer treno es. but there was shot dead by half a dozen rifles. The squadron then retired, reformed. and charged again up the hill. but nothing could live under the fire they met with. and they fell back with a .loss of seventeen killed and wounded. and thirty-two horses killed, wounded and missing. By the time the cavalry were in .retreat the Fifty~ei hth Regiment was attacking the hill. he first rush up the incline made the men blow hard, the grass sheing long and the ground wet. After two minutes’ rest the went to a slight ridgel between them an their oal. No sooner were their heads seen a ove ,this ridge, before they had time to deploy. and while they were rather crowded to ether. than‘ the front companies receiv a terrific volley and were also enflladed on their right flank. After about five minutes of this fire, our men returning it as best they could. Colonel Deane called for a charge. Immediatel his horse was shot under him and e fell. Springing to his ‘ feet be reassured his men by shouting " I .am all right." The words were hard’l‘y uttered when he fell mortally wound . Major Hingstonmho. with the other oflicers, had kept in the front, cheering the men on ~ their desperate task. then took command, and ordered the men to fix bayonets. . He was instantly shot down, and has since] died. The Boers at this time kept well in ‘ their trenches. Our men were lying on the ground, taking a shot whenever an oppo-; nent was seen, but when they uprose to charge the fire poured in upon them is described by all as‘terrible. Before the final charge our men were lying down within twenty yards of the trenches, but their fire was necessarily less destructive. Here Major Poole and Lieut. Dolphin were killed, their bodies being found lying well in front of the men. Ca tain Lovegrove wasseriously wounded, while nearly all the non-commis- sioned officers were killed or seriously wounded. Out of five staff ofiicers only Major Essex} who escaped at Isandula, reappeared. Lieutenant Baillie, who car- ried the colors, being mortally wounded, Lieutenwt Peel ofiered to help him. “ Never mind me; save the colors," was his " never mum me; Have um wrusn, "no um reply. Lieutenant Peel then took both! co ors.. but. falling into a. hole, Sergesnt‘ Brendstock, thinking him 'to be shot. seized the colors and bore them out‘ of danger. When retreat began the Boers showed themselves, kee ing up a constant fusilede. Our she. now, did good service, Ereventing the Boers from followinfiang; T e prsctiee was splendid, the she opping only ten or fifteen yards in the rear‘of our troops. 0n reach- ing the foot of the hill the remains of the 'ment refilled their pouches ’ and re ormed prepared, if ordered, to storm again. 'fhis Sir George Galley deemed it to be imprudent to attempt. The Boers‘ bravery excited the su rise of even their own countrymen. As ey are e rtsmen from childhood their fire is de ly. The surnvcrs say that they positively sew colored men armed .snd fighting in the Boer lines. These were probably weggon- drivers. v ‘ HOW OUh TROOPS WERE REPULSEO. , .
