CRONJE'S CAMP A CHARNEL HOUSE
Cronje's camp was a scene of pollution. Carcases were collected in the shallows of the rivers. The Boers welcomed their deliverance. The trenches were real underground dwellings. Twelve British prisoners were in the camp. They were kindly sheltered from the appalling fire of the bombardment.
Cronje's laager was simply a charnel House. The food was exhausted with the exception of meat. There was plenty of emmunition. Remarkable trenches bad been constructed, affording splendid protection from shells.
