THE CAPE FRONTIER.
FIERCE FIGHTING
The fighting which took place at Rendsburg on Monday was of the most fierce, and determined character.
Four thousand Boers attacked the hill occupied and defended by the Worcester Begimenr.
They were badly repulsed, losing at least 100 killed.
The Boers, however, ultimately occupied Rendsbnrg.
Two companies of the Wiltshire Regiment who were holding a post in the vicinity of Rendsburg were forgotten when the British retired to Arnndel, and were, of course, promptly captured by tho enemy. Portions of the two companies have since returned to Arundel.
The colonials (Cape) made a brillant bayonet charge at Dordrecht, The Boers did not wait for them, but fled in the most admired disorder.
