It'was all but certain that broken groups oi Zuiue were lurking in this bush or poking about among the embers oi the kraale. A considerable movement of troops round both our flanks toour rearin the direction of our standing camp had been observed on the previous day. All these considerations flashed across me much more quickly than I can put them on paper. after I had spoken the words oi sell committal; but I had not courage enoughto retract them. Nor would my pride allow me to ask for an escort, which_was not tendered. I volunteered to carry any communicatione which Lord Oheimsiord might have ready. and hie military secretary gave me a packet which be specified to contain “ private telegrams." to be handed in at Landman’s Driit.
