The Gallant Twenty-Fourth, THE TERKISLE AFFAIR AT RORKE'S DRIFT— EIGHTY SOLDIERS RESIST A ZULU ARMY AND KILL TEN TIMES THEIR OWN NUMBER. of ‘telling a Lospon, Feb. 22.—At the risk twice-toid tale, J venture to return to the gal- lant incident of the Zula war. My excuse 18 that the details keep comtng to London in frag- ments, and that the story is not yet complete, nor willit be until the newspaper correspon- dents’ letters and the Cape journals come in. It is worth while In the interval, dealing with the telegraphic facts, to put the narrative into consecutive ape. On the 2ist of January the e British advance, under Lord Chelmsford, penetrated a considerable distance into Zulu-land, over 20 miles beyond Rorke’s Drift, near which a camp ha@ been estabitshed, with a convoy, consisting of 102 wagons, 1.40) oxen, 2 guns, 400 shot and shell, 1,200 rifles, ‘260,000 rounds of ammunition, and a rocke’- trough, the whole valued at $00,000, miles beyond Rorke’s Drift Lord Chelmsford left the convoy guard and advanced with the remainder of his forces, some 10 or 12 miles further into Zulu-land, “to look for the en- emy,” who, it atterward turned out, were at the same time 20.000 strong. Lord Chelins- ford being well out of the way, they fell upon the convoy, The British fought hard, and retreated gradually upon the camp and its valuable stores, thus getting the support of all their immediate forces. The Zulus fell fast be- fore the deadly rife; but they carried out their courageous tactics with a bravery which will not be forgetten when the historian comes to tell their story. To hurry an encounter to the death-struggie, hand-to-hand, is the Zulu idea. ‘They advance in a body, the men in the rear rushing into the gaps’made in front by the enemy's fire. Then the men, with short Knives and shields, sling back their rifles and leap upon the foe. Those who are armed with spears break them off short and convert them into short swords. This is what ee at Isandula and the camp at Rorke'’s Drift. The overwhelming numbers of the Zulus, taking the troops at ‘a moment when there seems to have been no Spporeanly, of availing them- Selves of intrenchments or barricades, enabied them to overpower the red-coats. The British, both officers and men, fought and fell where they stood, each of them, however, slaying his two or three to one in the unequal fight. The colors of the regiment and the stores fell to the victors, who thls came into pdssession of valu- able weapons and ammunition. which they could also show to possible allies as induce- ment to join them. Not less than 51 British officers and 570 men lay dead in the sacked camp before the Zulus carried off the spoils. In the meanwhile Lord Chelmsford was still “looking for the enemy!” When it was all over the news reached him and he hastened pack, to discover that the force he had left in his rear had been annihilated.

They were under the com- mand of a couple OE fod lieutenants, Brom- head, of the 24th, Chard, of the royal engi- neers. They knew nothing of the bitter business that had been going on at the camp.
