The Johannesburg Star correspondent, describing the surrender, says: 

There were upwards of 400 altogether, and the poor fellows made a sorry sight—­tired from their long march, their privations, and the tremendous strain of continuous engagements for nearly twenty-four hours.  Some almost slept in their saddles as they were being escorted; and when they arrived on Krugersdorp Market Square the scene will not soon be forgotten.

The Boers freely mixed with them and talked with them.  Provisions were brought, and devoured with ravenous hunger.  In many cases the Boers gave from their own scant stock of provisions to the starving men, for whom they expressed the utmost admiration for their pluckiness and determination.

Dr. Jameson and his principal officers, including Sir John Willoughby, were brought in separately from the main body of the captured troops.  Although the Boers treated most of the prisoners with consideration, they jeered somewhat when Dr. Jameson was brought forward; but this was promptly suppressed by the Commandants.  Dr. Jameson and the officers were temporarily housed in the Court-house, together with the other officers captured previously.

A mule-waggon was brought up, fitted with mattresses.  The chief officers were despatched to Pretoria under a strong escort of Boers.  About half an hour later the rest of the prisoners were also escorted out of the town to Pretoria, most of them on their own horses.  Both men and horses were extremely emaciated.

The burgher losses were reported to have been 4 killed and 5 wounded.  The losses of Dr. Jameson’s force were 18 killed and about 40 wounded.

There were also taken:  400 magazine and Lee-Metford rifles, 8 Maxims (one spiked, or with the breach-piece gone), 4 field-pieces, 33,000 rifle cartridges, 10 cases of Maxim cartridges, 10 cases of projectiles, 2 sacks of projectiles, 300 cartridge-belts, 13 revolvers, 4 mule-waggons, 5 Scotch carts, 742 horses (in which were included the 250 horses which were captured in charge of two troopers near Blaaubank), a full-blooded stallion (the property of Dr. Jameson), 400 saddles, bridles etc., 38 mules with harness, 1 telegraph instrument (probably to tap wires with), harness and other accoutrements and instruments of war.

The prisoners were treated with every consideration by their captors, with the exception perhaps of Dr. Jameson himself, who was threatened by some of the unruly ones and freely hissed and hooted, but was protected by the officers in charge.  It must be said of the Boers that they acted with admirable self-restraint and dignity in a position such as very few are called upon to face.  However politic their actions may have been in their fear of provoking conflict with Johannesburg and the Imperial Government, however the juggling with Dr. Jameson’s life afterwards and the spurious magnanimity so freely advertized, may detract from what they did and may tend to bring
