About
Snippet
When
I
was
a
prisoner
in
Pretoria
they
used
to
keep
us
awake
at
night
with
fireworks
after
news
such
as
that
of
Colenso
and
Magersfontein,
but,
except
amongst
the
young
boys,
they
were
not
given
to
exultation
over
what
they
had
done
or
to
any
boasting.
Then
they
talked
about
lyddite,
and
it
was
quite
clear
that
it
had
been
a
terrible
bogy
in
their
minds,
and
that
they
had
imagined
it
was
to
have
an
effect
like
throwing
earthquakes
at
them,
and
it
was
equally
evident
that
the
result
of
actual
experience
had
fallen
short
of
their
apprehensions.
The replay is still saving.
