Gatacre's force may be slow in beginning operations. The | country in which it has to work is ex- cessively difficult and most favorable to Boer tactics. Mountains covered with bowlders, an admirable shelter for marksmen, and river beds, offering ex. ceptional opportunities for ambushes— this is the nature of the ground. It {s eighteen miles from Burghersdorp to Stormberg, and for more than half the distance the road winds between precipi- tous declivities. There !s a deep rallway cutting, which could be effectively blocked by dropping a few big rocks. The Stormberg Mountains are great masses of indurated limestone, with few passes and many precipices.
