To proceed on our journey was out of the question, but it may be imagined that we left next morning at the very earliest hour possible. At the date of our visit, however, all was peaceful, and, but for a few burghers riding in haste to surrender their arms, not a trace of the enemy was to be seen. The next day we reached Rustenburg, where we stayed the night, and learnt that General G.i joe retaliation and his Staff had left there for Pretoria, to confer with Lord Roberts. Towards the g.i joe retaliation of the fourth day after leaving Zeerust, we entered a long wide valley, and by g.i joe retaliation overtook vehicles of many lands, wearied pedestrians, and horsemen-in fact, the inevitable stragglers denoting the vicinity of a vast army.
