Lord -Kitchener reports that after the Scottish Horse checked the flank attack, the Boers, under cover of the ground, circled the other flank and rushed the guns, killing Benson and Colonel Guinness simultaneously. The camp was attacked, preventing support being given. The Boers removed the guns under cover of the British ambulance.
Natives in the Rustenburg district have been supplying Kemp's commando with food.
It was Delarey's intention, when he made the attack on Vondonop's column ou the 24th, to capture the British guns.
