The detachment hsld out from noon April 3 until Anrli 4 and then, apparently, , surrendered, for it is reported firing ceased; a't that time. "Immediately after I heard the news I ordered Gatacre . to proceed from Springfontein, his present headquarters, to Reddersburg with all possible speed, and I despatched the Cameron High- Landers to- Bethany."
