Synopsis
Excerpt from Transvaal Problems: Some Notes on Current Politics
A line of coaches to Kimberley had been started, and by that means a dozen inside passengers, packed like sardines in a tin, not to mention outside passengers and piles of luggage, accomplished the journey in a week, travelling night and day. When I arrived, the service had broken down, and so I went by mule waggon. It happened that the late General (then Colonel) Glyn, with his regiment, the 24th, in which General Carrington was a subaltern, was ordered to the Diamond Fields at that time to quell the rebellion, the most sanguinary feature in connection with which consisted in the raising of the black flag. It will be remembered that Alfred Aylward, the Fenian, was prominent in that affair. We arrived one night and camped outside De Beers, expecting on the morrow to see an attack upon the town, instead of which a luncheon was given on the market square, and all was well.
