I A HEROINE AT LYDENBERG. ♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦ % ■ ♦ i ♦ * ♦ An Episode In the Transvaal War of 1880-1. BY W WILMOTT DIXON. jy^ ^ * ❖ One forgets many thiugs iu 18 years, « D tl probably the story which I purpose retelling hero is forgotten by all except the surviving actors in it and their iut- nicdlate friends. Hut the memory of such a sigual instance of British pluck should uot be allowed to die. Ou Sunday, the oth of December, 1SSU, the little town of Lydeuberg, in the Transvaal, was iu a state of un wonted excitement. The whole popu lation was out in its Sunday best to give a hearty send off to the Ninety- fourth regiment, which had been quar tered there for many mouths and was now ordered to Pretoria. Both officers and men had made themselves ex tremely popular with all classes, and the expressions of regret at their de parture were universal. Numbcis of the inhabitants accompanied the regi ment on its way for live or six miles. One lady and gentleman—Lieutenant Walter Long, the junior subaltern of the Ninety-fourth, and his pretty young wife—rode out as far as 15 miles. Hie colonel had paid the lieutenant the high honor ol leaving him in sole com- l.jPrr maud of th^troops left behind, a re sponsible position for a youngster of barely two and twenty. As the lieutenant and bis wife turned their horses" heads and bade farewell to their comrades Colonel Anstruther called out: “(ioodby, Mrs. Long! Look after Long, and mind you're a good little ad jutant. (ioodby. Long! Look after my garden for me; remember, 1 expect to liud it in as good order as 1 leave it. Both the colonel and the lieutenant were enthusiastic gardeners. As the regiment tramped past Mrs. Long cried out: “(ioodby, Ninety-fourth! Cod bless you!” And the men shouted back: “(ioodby. our lady! God bless you, Mrs. Long!” It was a last farewell for many of them, though they little thought it, for a fortnight later Colonel Anstruther and more than half bis men were killed at Bronkhorst Spruit. Out ou the open veldt, about half a mile from the town, were eight mill tary huts, each 50 feet long by IS feet wide, built two abreast, with an inter vening space of IMJ foot, the whole forming a parallelogram 78 yards in length by 20 in breadth. At the first rumor of disaffection among the Boers Lieutenant Long resolved to withdraw his men into these huts and throw up some kind of shelter round them, for up to this time they stood without the slightest Inclosure and utterly unpro tected. The force under bis command consisted of 50 privates and three non commissioned officers of the Ninety fourth, seven privates and a sergeant of the Uoyul engineers, three privates and a conductor o*’ the army service corps—in all. including Dr. Falvey of the army medical department and Lieutenant Long himself, (50 officers and men. Mrs. Long, who had been living with her husband in a pretty little cottage embowered in roses and fruit trees at the lower end of the town, without a moment’s hesitation decided to leave her comfortable home and take up her quarters with her husband. Her many friends in Lydenberg tried in vain to dissuade her from the stop. She was offered a warm welcome in half a doz en houses, but the brave little woman said that her place was beside her hus band. So the soldiers brought her be longings from the pretty cottage to one of the huts and showed their admira tion for her pluck by taking the great est pains in making her quarters as tasteful and comfortable as possible. There was, however, but scant accom modation for u lady In the lint assigned to her, which sheltered under its roof throe horses (whose every movement was distinctly audible), besides herself and her husband. On the ll!th of December they began throwing up works of defense round the huts, and Mrs. Long delighted the men by working as hard as any of them. On the 2.‘5d of December the ap palling news reached them of the mas sacre of the Ninety-fourth at Brouk- borst spruit. But, stunned .hough they were by the terrible tidings, they set to work more vigorously than ever to complete their defenses. When the tiny fort was tiulshed, it was christen ed Fort Mary, in honor of Mrs. Long, and Father Walsh, a Uotnan Catholic priest who had elected to cast iu Ids lot witli the little garrison, fonunlly blessed it. An envoy from the Boers, Dietrlck Muller, appeared on the 27tli of Decem ber with a proposal that the garrison should surrender and accept a safe conduct into Natal. His surprise at ttie youthful appearance of the '•om- uiauduut of the fort was great. “Dat youuker!" lie exclaimed iu contempt But “dat youuker" was not so green as Mr. Muller Imagined, lie suggested writing to Pretoria for Instructions. Muller cojiscnit <|, and Lieutenant Long thus •IcvcKly gained a delay of live days, which lie utilized in very mate tinlly strengthening Ids defenses. Ou Hie Itli of January the Boers u|>- peared iu force, some 7*H) of them, amt formally demanded the surrender of the fort, to which summons the young subaltern returned the spirited reply, “it is Inconsistent with my duty as a soldier to surrender my trust.” An urgent appeal whs once more made by Mrs. liOiig’s friends In the town to In duce her to quit the fort and take up her residence in one of the many homos placed at her disposal. But she stoutly refused. Two days afterward the attack com menced. For three hours and a half 700 Boers kept up a continuous rille tiro upon the little fort at a range of 500 yards. In her own charmingly modest and simple narrative, Mrs. Long thus describes her feelings when she first found herself under tire: “I must humbly confess that during the first hour of the tiring 1 was dread fully frightened and took refuge under i table for its imaginary shelter. Fa ther Walsh entering the hut at that moment with ids breviary in ids hand to look for me, and, not finding me, as lie expected, called me. 1 lifted the ta ble cover and poked my head out, say ing, ’Here 1 am, father!’ My position struck me as so ludicrous that I burst into a hearty lit of laughter. Not till 4 p. in. was 1 aide to ascertain that, notwithstanding the terrible lire of the last four hours, not a man had been wounded. My husband, knowing bow anxious 1 should be as to ids safetj, looked iu as ofteu as he could to cheer me.” But she very soon overcame these natural terrors and got so used to the tiring, even when the Boers brought a couple of cannon to bear on the fort, that she frequently slept right through the cannonade. What with tending the sick and wounded and making sandbags, some times turning out as many as four dozen of them Iu a day, Mrs. Long s time was fully occupied. Think of her there, one woman, little more than :i girl, alone among <50 men fighting for their lives against ten times their num ber! What wonder that the men fought like heroes with this daintily bred Lng- lisli lady sharing all their dangers and setting them an example of patience and courage and cheerfulness. She admitted that at first she felt the ab sence of any of her own sex keenly. But the soldiers were so devoted to her, so delicate in tlioir solicitude and consideration for her, that she soon lost the sense of loneliness. One day a strange messenger ar rived. a little black and tan terrier, with a piece of paper folded iu a rag tied round its neck. It was a commu nication from some friendly townsfolk informing them that the Boers were quarreling among themselves, furious with Dietrick Muller for being such a fool as to allow the English those five days to complete their defenses and adding as a hint that the defenders of the fort were filing too high, which hint. 1 need hardly say, was quickly taken. The garrison had nothing in the shape of a gun with which to meet the fire of the two (5 pounders that the Boers had in position. But one day Mrs. Long suggested to one of the army service men that the “monkey of an Abyssinian pump which they bad might perhaps be utilized. The idea was promptly seized upon and ingen iously carried into execution, and the Boers were very much amazed when a cylindrical shot weighing two pounds six ounces, formed of round crowbar Iron cased in lead, came crashing in among them. “Mrs. Long’s gun, as it was christened, proved a very valuable addition to the armament of Fort Mary. The lints were riddled through and through with round shot and rille bul lets, and the escapes from (hath wore so miraculous that Lieutenant Long twice had tae men assembled for a special thanksgiving service conducted by Father Walsh. Ou olio occasion a cannon shot struck the wall within an iucli of Mrs. Long’s head and covered her with dust and debris. Another time the hut in which she lived came down abour her cars, and her escape from being crushed iu the ruins was marvelous. But she must needs, womanlike, go back to rescue her “things” and expressed truly fem inine sorrow to find her best bonnet smashed as tint as a pancake and only one cup, two saucers and a couple of plates left of all her cherished crock ery. Meanwhile the men kept up their spirits with music and dancing. “Hold the Fort,” with a strictly local applica tion, was a favorite chorus, and the men invented a version of the famous Jingo song: We don’t want to Cgtit, but, by jingo, if we do, We've got tbe pluck, we’ve got Ibe men and am munition too! We’ve (ought tlic Zulu king unj Sekekunl, too. And tbe doers shall never get Into Fort Mary. And they never did, though they tried their utmost to dvive out the gallant defenders with cannon and rltles, and, what was worse. “Greek tire” shot iu metallic tubes into the thatch of the roofs. Perltfips if the Boers could only have summoned up courage to make a determined assault while the lints were blazing and half tbe garrison occupied in putting out the tlames they might have captured the fort. But they did not care to meet the stubborn defend ers of Fort Mary hand to hand. So they contented themselves with potting at the gallant fellows who fyurles-Jy ex posed themselves In their efforts to ex tinguish the fire. Those efforts were successful, though they cost the lives of two brave men who could ill be spared. But the garrison were not content witu standing only on the defensive. They made plucky little night sorties, which scared the Boers considerably and caused them sonic loss. Twice Conductor Parsons of the army serv ice corps sallied out alone iu the dark and pitched hand grenades iu among the enemy, which produced a perfect panic among them. There were vigor ous sapping and mining, too ou the part ot tlie Uoyal engineers, who made tilings very lively for the besiegers. Then the water ran short—a pint a day for each man was all that could lie spared, and this, though supplemented with a pint bottle of ale from tin stores, was terribly short rations of drink in the hottest month of an Afri can summer. Plucky Mrs. Long found the privation of water for washing more trying than even the thirst, and her Joy was intense when, after many days of tiffs privation, she discovered a Mg hath sponge in its oilcloth ease, Htlll damp. One daily wipe she and her husband allowed themselves as a luxury and then locked the sponge up. At last the rain, which for many weary hours they had watched delug ing the bills a round, condescended to visit them, and then they had rather more water than they wanted, for, the lints being all rootless since the fire, there was lio shelter from the pitiless downpour. The soldiers, always eager and anxious to proiect Mrs. Long, rig ged up a tarpaulin screen to shield her from the rain when sleeping, but de spite their care she often woke up drenched. The news of the disasters at Lnings- nek and Majiiba Hill was, of course, promptly communicated to them by tbe enemy, accompanied by a peremptory summons to surrender. But Lieuten ant Long, though badly wounded him self, lying helpless, with ids faithful wife nursing him night and day, sent back the curt answer. “I shall hold out to the last.” And the men, looking at that brave woman, so patient and cheerful under her terrible load of anx iety, set their teeth hard and swore the Boers should never have Fort Mary while there was a man left to handle a rille. “And ever on the topmost roof the old banner of England blew.” At first, indeed, it was but a merchant ship's ensign. How they hoisted a real union jack I will let Mrs. Long tell in her own words: “Our ship's ensign had become, what with the wind and what with the bul lets, a perfect shred. Moreover, .we were anxious to hoist a real union jack. A Geneva Hag was discovered, but, though sufficient red and white were forthcoming to complete the crosses, no blue was to be found. Nothing daunted, the men came to me to in quire if 1 possessed such a thing as a bit of dark blue for the new Hag, and, to their delight, 1 gave them a serge dress of the desired color. A beautiful union jack was very soon made and hoisted instead of the first. Our ship’s ensign, though exchanged, was not dis carded, for under its tattered shred our brave fellows were carried to their graves.” On the 20th of March the Boers kept up a furious cannonade and fusillade all night. But the next morning, to the surprise of the garrison, a white ting was hoisted over the enemy’s lines, and under its protection Lieutenant Baker of the Sixtieth ritles brought them the humiliating news that peace had been concluded with the Boers. So the gal lant defenders marched out from the riddled and battered little fort which for 84 days they had held against ten times their number. Mrs. Long was so thin and pulled down that her friends in Lydenberg hardly knew her. The Boers cheered her heartily as she passed them on her way into the town, and their com mander. Diet Steyne, treated her with the utmost courtesy. Indeed such a chivalrous gentleman was this gallant Boer that lie sentenced one of ids men to 25 lashes for shouting out during the siege: “Come out, Mrs. Long, and make us some coffee. We are so cold.” At the same time lie threatened double the penalty if any further insult were offered to the English lady. Lieutenant Long and Ids men were publicly complimented in a general or der “for their successful and heroic defense.” But I am disposed to think that the largest share of the praise was due to the brave woman who set them so noble an example.—Chambers’ Jour nal.

California first invented a serious need of steamboats in the United States and for a generation practically monopolized them. By a poetic injus tice she has to this day very nearly the worst steamboats. She invented long distance railroading—indeed, one may probably say the American rail road system. There was uot nor lias been any other reason for mileages over 5.000. California called for a rail road three times as long as the world had ever seen and, getting it, gave back the sinews to vein the east with railroads—the sinews and the impetus. It is hardly necessary to remark that transcontinental railroading is a tech nic by itself, and that precisely as American methods actually direct con tinental ones, so the long, lean, single track, sand ballasted railroads across our continent are still tutors to the short, fat, perfected roadbeds of the narrow slates,—Harper’s.
