A COOL GUNNER.
In a private letter from Ladysmith there is an account of a Boer who was H.iioking his pipe whilst firing a big gun. He was seen through a gli.su to fall down, presumably from the explosion of a shell. After a morn* nt he roe up, found his pipe, and continued firirg. Yet a sfuond time he was knocked down, and to the surprise of the beholder, he ag un got up and went on firing and ->uuking at the same time. He was not wounded.
