On October 81, Baden-Powell with
his handful of men made a sortie,
but was driven back by superior
force*. The bombardment was con

On December 26, Baden-Powell again
made a sortie and until February

ginning of an almost continuous
bombardment did the Boers make an
attempt to storm the town. Al
though weakened by starvation and
reduced In numbers by slckntts, the
British defenders repulsed the Boers
with heavy losses. During the fol-
owlng two months several other at
