Another document from Scribd.com that is
random and unrelated content:
 Major Lambton decided to leave a half troop of his Lancers with the
ostrich farmer, while with the remainder of his command he intended to
join Colonel Malcolmson.

Jack obtained permission from his father, although it was not readily
accorded, to proceed with Sergeant Morton to Springbokfontein. Our
hero felt sorry for Piet Van Donnop and his comrades, who appeared
very dejected. The journey, too, had to be performed on foot over a
rough country.

The wounded Boers were left in the ostrich kraal, until arrangements
for them to be conveyed to Springbokfontein could be completed.

It was late in the afternoon when Jack and Morton arrived at the town.
A big fight had taken place in the early morning between the Rangers
and the now concentrated commando of the redoubtable Christian Uys.

It had proved a stubborn encounter; but the Rangers, under the

brilliant leadership of Colonel Malcolmson, forced the fighting, and after
much slaughter on both sides, the Boers ran up the white flag, and the
action ceased.

Christian Uys, Veldt-cornet Steyn, and several officers were taken

prisoners, and lodged in the Town Hall at Springbokfontein. It was
evident that the Boers had sympathisers in the town, for many scowling
looks were bestowed on the Lancers and the Rangers, escorting the
prisoners captured at the Kopje Farm.

To Jack's great delight, he found that the British wounded had arrived
from Langeman's Nek, and although Major Salkeld was severely
wounded, the doctor had great hopes of his complete recovery.

Jack Lovat had an object in visiting Springbokfontein, and soon after

his arrival he sought and obtained an interview with Colonel
Malcolmson.

Jack was accompanied by Sergeant Morton, and in an open though

respectful manner he made known his errand to the colonel.

"I have come to make inquiries about my father's money, sir," began
Jack. "He was robbed of five hundred pounds a few days ago, by some
Boers belonging to the commando you have captured."

"Oh, yes, I see, my boy; you are Mr. Lovat's son," said the colonel. "I
must congratulate you on the splendid spirit you have shown during this
very trying time. You have a perfect right to make every inquiry. I know,
of course, about the robbery, for such it was, I am shortly having an
interview with Commandant Uys and his veldt-cornet. If you wish, you
can go with me, and you as well, Sergeant Morton. I believe the back of
the rebellion is broken in this part of the colony."

Jack thanked the colonel for his courtesy, and said that he should be
pleased if he could have an opportunity of speaking to the commandant.
A few minutes later, Jack stood before the redoubtable Boer leader.

Uys was confined, along with several of his officers, in a large room
in the Town Hall. Several of the Boer officers with him had been
wounded, but there was a haughty look on all their faces. Although
captured, their spirits were not broken.

The commandant opened his eyes in astonishment as he beheld Jack,

who returned the gaze with interest.

"I have come to ask about my father's money, Commandant," said

Jack.

"What money?" demanded Uys.

"The money of which he was robbed by your brigands," answered

Jack boldly in Dutch.

"You are the young rooinek who escaped from my laager?" inquired
the commandant.

"I am," replied Jack stolidly.

"After killing one of my best burghers," said the Boer leader in a stern
tone of voice.

"You say so," said Jack. "It is a time of war, and many men are being
killed daily. I have come to ask about my father's money, of which he
was robbed at Jagger's Farm. He was not, and is not even now, at war
with your race."

"I have not your father's money," observed Uys. "If I had, I would
restore it to you. I cannot always restrain my burghers."

"But you are responsible for their actions, Commandant," said Jack
boldly. "Your men also without provocation attacked my father's farm,
but our Kaffirs and I repelled their assault."

"One question, youngster. I have given you an honest answer to a

straight question. Who was your companion when we captured you in
the donga?" asked Uys.

"He is here to answer for himself, Commandant. His name is

Morton;" and Jack stepped to one side, saying as he did so, "Allow me,
Commandant, to introduce Sergeant Morton of the Auckland Rangers to
you."

The Boer leader frowned, and muttered, "I thought so! He is a lucky
fellow."

Finding that he could derive no satisfaction from the answers given to

his inquiries respecting his father's money, Jack bowed to the
commandant and retired.

A couple of hours later, our hero found himself at the Kopje Farm,
relating to his parents the adventures of the day, and when he flung
himself on his bed, he felt that peace once more had come to dwell
around his father's farmstead.

******

Two years have passed away since the incidents recorded in this little
book happened.

Under the silken folds of the Union Jack, Dutch and British alike
enjoy the same liberties and privileges; but it is not of the land under the
brilliant Southern Cross that we now write.
 The purple heather is blooming on the moors and hillsides of bonnie
Scotland, and in the glens shots are heard. Grouse-shooting has
commenced in the Highlands, and a party of four are stalking through the
heather, on sport intent.

One is a young lady, just blossoming into glorious womanhood. She is

a keen sportswoman, and can handle a gun as well as the best of them.
Her name is Miss Lovat, and she is the sister of the Laird of Airdtullish.
Her face is darker than those of the majority of her fair countrywomen,
but veldt breezes and scorching sunshine have the knack of tanning faces
belonging to those of European birth.

Her companion is a gentleman of soldierly appearance, with a decided

limp in his gait. The hair shading his temples is tinged with gray,
although he is not yet forty. The quiet, soldierly man is our friend Major
Salkeld, whose gallant defence against big odds in the donga over
against Diamond Valley is recorded in the annals of the Auckland
Rangers.

Since the grouse-shooting began, he has been Miss Lovat's devoted

companion.

Let us glance at the remaining couple. Both are men, broad-

shouldered and clean-flanked. We have met them before; for the younger
man is our old friend Jack Lovat, and his companion Charlie Morton,
head partner in the big diamond-broking firm of Morton & Company,
Hatton Garden.

Jack's father is dead, and lies in the little cemetery at Orangefontein.

The blow received from the clubbed rifle at Jagger's Farm inflicted a
more severe wound than was at first imagined, and he gradually sickened
and died.

Mrs. Lovat is still in the land of the living, but remains in delicate
health. She is lovingly watched over by Mary and Jack, who are doing
their best to smooth the dark passage leading to the life beyond.

There is another character who acts the rôle of butler at Airdtullish

Castle whom we must present to our readers. He is our honest friend Pat
O'Neill, formerly the faithful henchman of Mr. Lovat, and now of his
son. His tongue is as voluble as ever, and nothing delights him more than
to recount the deeds of the young laird of Airdtullish to the servants at
the Castle.

Morton and Jack are engaged in conversation.

"I often think about those five hundred sovereigns, Jack, which the
Boers sneaked from your father. You never saw them again, I suppose?"

Jack laughed as he replied, "Well, perhaps I never did rest my optics

upon the identical coins; but Colonel Malcolmson saw that my father had
their value in horses, before he took Maestral's commando to
Springbokfontein. My father certainly lost nothing by the bargain. It was
rather fortunate in one sense that the Boers robbed him."

"What do you mean?" inquired the diamond merchant.

"Why, you would never have seen the Diamond Valley and
Airdtullish. Our paternal home would never have been mine. I deeply
grieve, however, for my father."

The pair relapsed into silence, and stood for a few moments gazing at
the purple-clad mountains in the west. Here we must leave them, and say
"Au revoir!" to the quartette, and to our boy readers who have followed
the fortunes of the inmates of the Kopje Farm.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project

Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of

electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals
and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely
available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and
permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To
learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and
how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
 Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state
of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue
Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is
64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal
laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date
contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without

widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we

have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside
the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project

Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™

concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed

editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the
U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including

how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe
to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
