GENERAL BULLER ACTIVE. General Buller on Saturday attacked a precipitous ridge in horseshoe form, 1500 feet hight. Spitzkop road lay at the furthest point while deep ravines prevented a turning movement. The position was carried under cover of the artillery, the Devons operating on the right, the Royal Irish in the centre and the Royal Scots on the left. The enemy retreated over a narrow causeway and lost many men though mist sheltered them. A shrapnel shell burst over A volunteer company of Gordon High* landers marching in columns, seven miles from the enemy, killing three and wounding sixteen, but it did not interfere with their steadiness. The total British casualties were 13 killed and 25 wounded.
