'i he Boevs speak in high terms of the splendid bravery of the column, but hold that Jameson attempted more than mortal man so situated could accomplish, A telegram on January 3rd says : In Krugersdorp there was wild excitement. The Boers’ ammunition, which had run short during the day, was replonVied from Johan nesburg, the Boers running with it to the scene of action. The sight was one never to be forgotten. The Boers galloping to and fro, officials serving out arras and ammuni tion, and the whole place generally in a state of intense tumult. When daylight came heavy firing again took place in the direction of Roodeport, thus showing that Jameson, despite terrible odds, pushed on towards Johannesburg. By this time Jameson had lost 60 or 70 killed, wounded, or prisoners, while all were entirely worn out with hunger and fatigue. The Boers extended their force right across the position in a half-circle, and placed the six Maxims in position at long intervals. Jameson’s men kept very close, thus exposing a better target for the deadly discharge from the machine guns; a fierce and determined battle took place at 11 o’clock in the morning. Jameson having spent his last shot, and the men almost dropping from their horses from fatigue, having fought almost for 21 hours on empty stomachs, waved a flag of truce, and the bra re fellows surrendered to an over whelming force of quite six to one. By permission of the Commandant, Reuter’s correspondent was allowed to interview Dr Jameson and Sic John Willoughby. The doctor said little beyond that he failed owing to lack of support expected when the Krugersdorp railway terminus from Johan nesburg was reached. Although assistance from his allies failed, ho might have escaped if the rails had been destroyed, as the Boer force was without ammunition for some time until an express engine and fruck arrived on the scene. There is a tremendous revulsion of popular fooling. The Johannesburg Times says ; “ The march will remain as a glorious tradi tion of the Anglo-Saxon race,” and adds: — “Dr Jameson was fighting two days without food, water, or sleep, against tremendous odds, hoping against hope for the help that never came. Ho was practically trapped in the sight of 15,000 armed men of Johannesburg, whom ho came to help.
