Of these troops some were employed in guarding Capetown itself, where a supposed plot on the part of Boer sympathisers to seize the town on the first day of the new year, had caused great uneasiness; others were placed on the lines of communication; and about 3,000 were slowly concentrated in the east of Cape Colony, where, under General Brabant--a man almost as loved and trusted as Lord Roberts himself, and proved by after events to be a bold and skilful General, never beaten in the field--they were to take part in the new campaign as soon as Lord Roberts gave the signal for the great forward move. Had the Colonials only been listened to at the outset, many defeats and much dishonour would have been avoided. For, from the first, they had preached the necessity of fighting the Boers with mounted men. They now, under the wise Lord Roberts, were given a full share of hard work and glory, and became a source of real terror to the Boers, who never were comfortable when they were about.
