It is stated that they near- ly lost their convoy of guns in the compulsory haste of their retreat. Es- pecially unexpected was the arrival of a strong mounted force sot Austral- ians, Canadians and New Zealanders to the -eastward of the `town. Several small kopjes, from which their advance might-have been resisted, were unoc- cupied by the Boers, apparently be- cause they did not suspect that the British were near. The advance was further aided by two of Gen. Pole Ca- rew s battalion of Guards, seizing at night two bills -commanding a deep spruit, the passage of which the Boers guarded daily. Finding then that their _ position was untenable, the Boers re- `linquished their defence of the spruit, i which allowed the passage of_ the whole Bri-tijsh force without opposition-.
