THE SIEGE OF MAFEKING.
RESOURCEFUL DEFENDERS. London, March 19. In driving back the Boers to their main trenches, the Mafeking garrison used grenades — small bombs thrown by hand — preparatory to the bayonet attack. The shells from the home-made gun lately constructed by the garrison for the use of dynamite cannot be fired with- precision. Butthough erratic, the shelling of this gun has proved bewildering to ; the enemy. The natives of the Baralong tribe have been armed, m order to defend their own enclosure.
