(Brim lant officer has given us a stirr ng story ef some of the most remarkable tableaux in the great battles in which General Buller engaged. It was during the battle of Taba Mayama that the sporting instinct of the Tom mies brought some of them to their graves. They were on Three Tree Hill, when something started a hare out into the open. "This was trying Tommy too far. He could sit and shelter for most things, but a chase he could not resist. Nearly a hun dred men jumped up and went after that Bare. Gatvolna: throwing stones, sticks, bully-beef tins, and even their helmets after it, regardless of all danger." This was all the sight the Bo2rs wanted and started the shell- ing, one shel: instantly killing One man and wounding half a dozen oth- e 'Tricked Inte Spion Kop. It was in the same battle that. a trick was practiced which had incal- cuable effect upon the Boer fortunes. Hinton (who afterwards became no- torious in connection with train wreck ng), with two others, managed to get on to a ridge near Acton Homes and piant a Transvaal fing on the summit. 'The nature of the d was such that any number of men might have been hidden there, and the result was that the British fire was diverted to the spot, what time the encmy were erecting guas, bringing up reinforcements and ttrengthening their positions for suc- cessful defence elsewhere. Had e tiu2 state of affuirs b2en known, ani the bogus position been taken by the! allnage it is probable that Boer woull have been captnred, wh A their right wing would have been endangered, and Spion Kop would liave been enfiladed. It is conceivable that--but for this, the tragedy of Spion Kop would have been averted. A Pathetic Last Message. Much has been written about Spion Kop, and we have by no means heard the iast of it. Lieutenant Knox con- tributes important additions. Some of his pictures are intensely dramatic. Woodgate, who had command, recanted his fatah e ordered the heliographer to coat?

When the slaughter amongst awlully-placed British was at worst, some thirty men of yarious regiments threw down their arms, and advanced towards the Boer posi- tion with the purpose of surrender- ing. 'A number of armed Boers waving white flags came out of their trenches to receive their surrender. Suddenly, from some thirty yards in the gear of our men, a soldier, whose stature made him' everywhere con- spicuous, rushed forth, limping on a stick. He pounced like a hawk on the Boer TS Tranevealer, by name De Kock, n whog: gh the rest of = ieotdent is given.

The great, big, angry, red-faced man was Colonel Thorneycroft, who, after de- livering this ultimatum, hobbled back to the thirty men and ordered them to follow him, and not to hesitate a second."
