One of the men of the Seventy-fourth 5 regiment who were in charge of the gun that was lost at the Stormberg en“gagement writes to his father in Newcastle from Sterkstroom Jan. 9 as follows: : “We left the camp about 3,000 strong under General Gatacre and reached Stormberg hill about 8 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Under the hill the infantry opened out, but all of a sudden the Boers let us have it with their Mausers. We were surprised in a trap, and well we knew it. ‘The artillery of ours, which was in battery, column at close intervals, wheeled info line along the plain southwest of Stormberg hill to take up position under the enemy's fire, but it was during that movement that the gun I was in charge of got stuck in a ditch. See ; “There we were left: It was awful, maddening, but the moment the enemy saw the position we were in they turned their fire on us. In a short time they wounded my three drivers, and all the while ander b “y fire myself and the gunners wei working with might and main to get . .e gun out, but it was all to no purpose. For 20 minutes the Boers poundeu us, and in that time all the horses were killed. I must gay that both the drivers and the gunners acted splendidly. Of the eight of us not a man left his horse until Major Lowrie ordered us away. : ‘Major Lowrie, who has already got the D. 8. O. (distinguished service order), at the risk, of his life galloped across the line of fire with spare horses to try and save the gun, but it was ne good. Then he said to our party: ‘Men, you have done your best and done tt bravely too. Leave your gun; it cannot be saved.’ This we did, but we did it sulkily, thinking the Boers would meet us again with our own —. That fs ithe true story of how the Seventy. fourth lost their gun.” A royal marine in the naval brigade at Modder River, writing to his mother at Rochdale on Jan.,10, says: “Our seouts report ;that the Boers have got their wives (with them and that they hold prayer!meetings every night.
