"U battery of the Royal Horse artil lery was suddenly surrounded in the drift and the officers and " men were all made prisoners withont "a shot being fired. But Major Taylor and a sergeant major succeeded in escaping in the con;, iusion. Jnve guns were captured at tne same time." , . - y A dispatch from Maseru.
