THE DEFENCES.
Maleking is situated on a rise about 300 yards north of the Molopo River, which flows from east to west. It is about three-quarters of a square. The railroad runs to the
west of the town, anth, practizuliy speaking.
due north and south, but immediately south where it crosses the Molopo by an iron bridge, it inclines rather westward for a distance of two or three miles. The railway embankment north and south of the river-thus furnishes cover. From the east and south-cast there are heights on the southern bank of the Molopo. To the west again of the milway, and nearly nbutting it half a mile south of the Molopo, is the native stalt. It lies on both sides of the river, and on the northern bank commences about half a mile from the railway, then runs in a north-westerly direction for about a mile and a half, and ends about a mile and three- quarters west of the railway. The ground in front of the northern end is slightly higher than the stadt and soon begins to sink away from, it, affording good cover to an enemy moving on that side. Near the railway, the ground slopes gradually down for a consider able distance to the river. The country round Alafeking to the west, north; and cast is flat, the Molopo to the south and south east it commands the town. The ground to the
across
west of the stadt commands the stadt.
Situated two thousand yards south, and slightly cast of the centre of the town, is an old
fort of Sir Charles Warren's-Cannon Kopje. This is the key of the position. It is an old circular stone fort and only by dint of extra ordinary exertion had it been possible to bring it
up in any degree to a sufficient state of efficiency to enable it to resist even old ordinary 7-pounder guns. It has an interior diameter approximately, of 25 yards. The native location occupied by half-breeds lies directly between Cannon Kopje and the town on the southern bank of the river. Following the course of the tiver eastward, about 1,200 yards from the inwn, and on the northern bank, extend the brickfields (eventually occupied by both parties), while in the same direction, and about three miles and a half from Maleking, on a ridge, is MacMellan's Farm, subsequently the Boer headquarters. To retum to the town. At the north-eastern corner is the convent. Due cast of that is the grand stand about a mile away, while N.N.E. from the convent and a mile and a half away is the base of the water works, which extend to a trench at their head in the same direction for nearly a mile.
Thus we have the railway station the N. W. corner, the convent the N.E. corner, Ellis's House the S. E. corner, and the S. W. corner the Pound, while in à line from the S. W. corner of the town and the northern portion of the stadt the B.S.T.P. barracks and fort lie about midway. With the exception of a strip of scrub about a mile wide to the north and east of the convent the country all round is almost bare.

in Pall Mall asked for tenders for bedsteads, and they received one from a contractor for some 10,000 which was accepted. It was for iron camp bedsteads such as we are all familiar with in barrack rooms. The contractor, how ever, has to manufacture the sample according War Office pattern, and it will hardly be credited that that pattern dates back to 1808. The bedsteads are heavy have no spring in them, and cost more than anything of recent date. My friend offered to supply them with the latest type of single bedstead with wire mattress and wond frame, but his offer was refused. The difference in weight and in com- fort would have been very great, and in price it amounts to as much as 8s. 6d. a bedstend; but the War Office held to the old pattern. A COPY of the Local “HANSARD," 1891-2,
He could have supplied the modern bedsteads within three weeks, but the okifashioned article has, of course, to be made, and will take a much longer time to furnish."
A CURIOUS HARVEST.
Nautical readers will possibly be interested in the following--When fishing is slack the boatmen at Yarmouth reap another harvest than that of fish from the North Sea: they 'sweep' the Reads for lost anchors.
During the past twelve months they in this way filled the Gustoms House anchor yard with 523 tons of anchors, for which they receive allowance, according to the weight of metal, from the Receiver of Wrecks. The collected anchors are disposed of as old iron by tender.
The only port that has gathered more iron from the sea than Yarmouth is Dover, which gleaned sixty-one tons from the Downs during the past year. At Hull twenty-two, tons of anchors were gathered; at Lowestoft twelve tons; at. Folkestone five tons; and Cardiff comes at the bottom of list with one ton only.

At the present moment there are 1,500 whites approximately, and in the native stadt 7,000, owing to native refugees. The perimeter of the defences is between five and six miles: Commencing with the con vent, and working westward at the outset, the defences were as follows. The railway line and annoured train protected the north-west front, then nearer to the railway came Fort Victoria, occupied by Railway Volunteers, and in the arc of a circin extending to the north end of the stadi trenchies were occupied by the Protectorate Regiment at night: these were gradually turned into forts. The women's langer was established on the edge of the stadt near the B.S.A.P. officers' quarters, and a refugee camp in the hollow north of the stadt, the northern end of which was held by Captain Vernon and C Squadron Protectorate Regiment, while B Squadron, under Captain Marsh, and the natives, held the stadt itself, the whole being under Major Godley, who commanded the western outposts.
THE GARRISON,
The town was garrisoned at first by the Cape Police under Captains Brown and Marsh.
These and the Railway Volunteers were under Colonel Vivian, while Cannon Kopje was en trusted to Colonel Walford and the B.S.A.P Colonel Baden-Powell retained one squadron of the Protectorate Regiment as reserve under his own immediate control. These arrange ments were subsequently much augmented. After the convent had been practically demo: lished by shell fire, and the railway line all round the town pulled up or mined during the close investment by the Boers the small work was erected at the convent corner, garrisoned by the Cape Police and a Maxim under Lieutenant Murray, who was also put in charge of the armoured train, which had been withdrawn to the railway station out of harm's way,
