It was Corporal Kilpatrick. He was in a terrible pfi&ht. The lower part of his face was shattered <is if by an explosive bullet. He could not speak. He had lain on the ground all night, and had traced with bis finger on the ground the word " cold." His wounds had been dressed up roughly, evidently by the Boers. Sergeant-Major Griffins's body was buried. It was evident that his death had been instantaneous.
