ia a number of Mirhts atoiit 1'rttorji,
1'oteheslxjom, and othtr xi'.Iayi.s and
that in no case were our nu n and Mili
tary leaders able to stand up to the
enemy.
At Durban, in Natal, in 14S. we rot
the worst of it, a we tiid at lloornkop,
where Kng!ih oflieers of the ordinary
type ejniniaiuied. The only military
sueeesa hii h Krfjlish officers can claim
in a god many enconnifrs with the
lloers is the battle o lionmplaats,
fouirht in 1?4S, between artillery aad
flintkx'k frun. It is therifore, non
sense to take refuge behind the lack of
(Ti-neralship of our leaders. If such fac
tors as courage and leadership da not
come into the controversy, c-xetpt to a
very limited extent, in what direction
must w e look for the explanation of our
defeats?
At I.aing's Neck the action began bj-
our puns dropping a few e-hells into the
JJjer lines, arid, as admitted by the
liners themselves, the small loss they
sulTkred from this fire tien. Joubtrt
was nearly hit by a splinter of a shell
induced them to think seriously of
abandoning the position. Thty were
r.bout to leave when the attack by a
small number of mounted ir.fiir.try and
by a few companies of Col. Pence's regi
ment, was made. Only or.e of cur men
reached the Pot r !ii.cs, the othtrs being
flopped a short distance away; and
as they were unsupported, these were
driven back down the hili. Result, 190
killed and wounded on the Pritish side,
against 2! liters k'lled and wounded.
At Ir.gogo, f.Migjt a few days oiler
ward, a farce of about 200 men and two
guns were stopped on a small plateau,
and after an action luting ail day our
men, with th; two gur.s, were with
drawn during the night, leaving the
dead and wounded on the ground. The
Poors also left the field at night. At
this fight the Poers crept up Xo within
CI yards of our gnus.' They lost 17
hi'.kil ami wounded, while our loss was
l-i2 killed and wounded.
A force of about Cf.O infantry set out
for the summit of Majuba hill on the
night of February 2(1, ll. There w ere
about 530 combatants. After leaving
some'eompanies on the road about 400
men reached the summit ami were dis
posed in various pjsitions about the
rim of the mountain. The first shots
were fired about six o'clock, and the
combat went on uninterruptedly for
hours. In the final stages the main
body of the Poers crept to within 4i)
yards, and for a considerable time fu
silladed our troops nt this distance.
Many of the men fell in the subse
quent flight; but when the Uga'inff
was over, at one o'clock, our ca-suuliiis
were SsO killed nr.d wounded, while the
Poers lost cue killed and four wound
ed. At Pronkhorst we lost 120 men
killed and wounded within ten minutes,
the Uoers losing one. In the Jameson
raid our losses were aln.iit 1C0 killed
and wounded, the Poers having five
killed and wounded in the actual fight- j
ing.
It is usually maintained that these
Transvaal fight-s were fought nt a dis
advantage, and that our men were in
each case vastly outnumbered. If we
accept the Pinr accounts, our forces
were not outnumbered. At Majuba they
say they had aloiit 4H0 men. Puttxen
assuming that there were as many ns
1.000 Poers, the result is still extreme
ly unsatisfactory. African Review.
