To the Chief of the Staff.
I find there are only two roads by which we could possibly got from Prichardt's Drift to Potgelibers, on the north of the Tugela, one by Acton Homes, the other by Fair View and Rosalle: the first I reject as too long, the second is a very difficult road for a large number of waggons, unless the enemy is thunoughly cleared oui Fan, therefore, going to adopt some spreal arrangements which will involve my stay at Venter's Laager for 2 or 3 days. I will send in for further supplies and report progress.. --WARREN,"
Licut-Colonel a Court caine down in the morning and stated that everything was satisfactory and secure, and telegraphed to the Commander-in-Chief to that effect. Scarcely had he started on his return to head-quarters when a heliogram arrived from Colonel Crafton (Royal Lancaster.) The message was "Rein- force at ence or all lost. General dead."
He also sent a similar to Headquarters. immediately ordered General Coke to proceed to his assistance, and to take command of the troops. He started at once and was accom panied by the Middleses and Dorsetshire Regiments.
I replied to Colonel Crofton, "I am sending two battations, and the Imperial Light Infantry
last. No surrender."

The reply to this was that 3 days' supply was being sent.
I went over to Sir G. Warren on the 23rd. 1 pointed out to him that I had no further report and no intimation of the special afrange ments foreshadowed by this. telegram of the 19th, that for 4 days he had kept his men con- finously exposed to sliell and rifle fire,
hill, that the position admitted of no second line, and the supports were massed close behind the firing hue la indefensible formations, and that a pale or sudden charge night send the whole lut in disorder down the hill at any moment. I said it was too dangerous a situation to be prolonged, and that he must either attack or 1 Shoal with draw his force. I advocated, as bad previously done, an advance from his left He said dag, he has the night before ordereil terial Coke qp assault Spion Kop, but the lanter had abjecjed to undertaking a night at tack on a position the rod to which he had ant reconnoitred, and added that he intended In assault Spion Kop that night,
suggested that as General Coke was still lavos títầu the, effects of a lately broken leg. ticorral Woodgate, who had two sound legs, was Tetter adapted for mountain climbing.
As an helingraph could, on account of the fire, he kept on the east side of Spion Kop, messages for Sir G. Warren were received by our signallers at Spearman and telegraphed to Sir C. Warren; this 1 saw them before he did, as was at the signal station. The telegram Sir G2 Wares potes did not give me confidence in its sender, and at the moment I could see, that our men on the top had given way and that efforts were being made to rally them, 1 telegraphed to Sir C. Warren - Unless you put some really good hard fighting man in comunand on the tap you will lose the hill.. I suggest Thorneycroft.""
That statement that a staff officer reported direct to me during the day is a mistake. Colonel Court was sent down by General Woulgate almost as soon as he gained the summit:
bate ant thanaght it necessary to order any investigations, if at sundown the defence of the summit had been taken regularly in hand, entrenchments laid out, gun emplacements prepare the dead removed, the wounded collected, and, in fact, the whole place brought under regular military command, and careful arrangements made for the supply of water and fond in the scattered fighting fine, the hills would have been held, I'm sure,
But no arrangements were made. General Coke appears in have been ordered away just as he would have been useful, and no one succeeded him: those on the top were ignorant of the fact that guns were coming up, and generally there was a want of organization and system that acted most unfavourably on the defence.

This occurred about to au Shortly afterwards, I received a telegram from the Commander-in-Chief, ordering me to appoint. Lieut. Colonel Thorneycroft to the command of the summit. I accordingly had heliographed "With the approval of the Commander-in-Chief, I place Lieut. Colonel Thorneycroft in command of the summit, with the local rank of Drigadier-General.”
For some hours after this message I could get no information from the summit. It ap- pears that the signallers and their apparatus were destroyed by the heavy fire,
I repeatedly asked for Colonel Thorneycroft to state his view of the situation. At 1.20 p.m. I heliographed to ascertain whether Colonel Thorneycroft had assunted command, and at the same time asked Gercial Coke to give me his views on the situation on Spion Kop. Sall getting no reply, I asked whether General Coke was there, and subseqently received bis view of the situation. He stated that, unless the artillery could silence the enemy's guns, the men on the summit could not stand another complete day's shelling, and that the situation was extremely critical

At 6.30 p.m. I asked if he could keep two battalions on the summit, removing the remain- der out of the reach of shells, also whether two battalions would suffice to hold the summit; this was in accordance with a telegram on the subject sent me by the Commander-in-Chief Later in the evening I made arrangements to send two (Naval) 13-prs, and the Mountain Battery, Royal Artillery, to the summit, together with half-company Royal Engineers (and work-Haw, M. 5. ing parties, two reliefs of 600 men each) to strengthen the entrenchments and provide shell the 7th Company, Royal Engineers, proceeded at the same time as General Woodgate's force, and were employed until daylight upon the entrenchments, then upon road making and water supply.
Sandbags were sent up early on the 24th instante
While Colonel Sitn was, with this party, as- cending the bill, he met Colonel Thorneycroft descending, having evacuated the position.
wish to bring to notice that I heard from all, but ene expression of the admirable conduct and bravery shown by officers and men suffer. ing under a withering artillery fire on the sum. fit of the slopes, and also of those who, with so much endurance, persisted in carrying up water and food and ammunition to the troops during this day,
During the day a Staff Officer of the Head quarter Staff was present on the summit, and reported direct to the Commander-in-Chief,
It is admitted by all that Colonel Thorney craft acted with the greatest gallantry through. on the day, and really saved the situation. Preparations for the second day's defence should have been organized during the day and have been commenced at nightfall, b
As this was not done I think Colonel Thor mtypsoftexercised a wire discretion.
Our losses, I regret to say, were very heavy, but the enemy admitted to our doctors, that: In the absence of General Coke, whom theirs were equally severe, and though we were no! successful in retaining the position, the losses inflicted on the enemy and the attack gonerally have had a marked öffect upon them. I cannot close these remarks without bearing Icatirony, to the gallant and admimble be haviour of the troops, the endurance shown by the Lancashire Fusiliers, the Middlesex Regi- ment, and Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry was adinirable, while the efforts of the and Bn. Scottish Rides and 3rd Bn. King's Royal Rifles, were equally good," and the Royal Lancasters fought gallantly.
