Warned by the shooting th rent of the party ouiokly rode from the farm house and advanced toward* the party of Boers, who flred upon them, the bullets coming dangerously close. A few shots from our men, howerer. quickly pot tbe warty to its heels, and the stock and other stores were quickly rounded np and brought into camp. All this occurred not mor* than tilteen miles from camp and shows that the enoniT are not far away and may attack us at any moment. THE HEALTH OF THE REGI- MENT on the whole since its arriral in South Africa has been remarkably good, considering* the tremendous climatie changes through which the men bar* come. Nearly all the canes in hos- pital nince our arriral in Belmout have been of tonxilitis, which I under- stand from tbe native* is epidemic in this part of the country at this seawon of the year. Tbe dars are frightfully hot and the nights uncomfortablj cool. Tbe result is very heavy dew, which is particularly hard on those of the men who have to spend the entire night out iu the open on guard and picket duty. I went through tbe hos- pital yesterday with Surgeon -Major Wilson. There are three cases of on- sihtu, two of which are convalescing and one pretty serious. The other in- mates are suffering from minor com- rlnints which tlmnirh weakening are not dangerous. Considering what the regiment hn.s come through since w. sailed from Quelicc the average good health of the regiment is remarkable. There have unfortunately been two deaths, but that is a small average death rate iu a regiment of over one thousand, nuhiected all the time to the mi. ,1 I1-CIII.-1I.IOH.S changes of. clim- ate, food ami occiipiition.
