During the latter half of the month Paget’s columns! traversed the country to the west of Pretoria—Pietersburg line, with the two-fold object of clearing the country of scattered bands of the enemy, and of preventing Louis Botha from moving west of the Magaliesberg and Pilandsberg. In these operations Paget, in conjunction with the troops in the Rustenburg valley, was successful. Louis Botha’s force did not get beyond Bamakok’s Kraal (3 )7), just west of the junction of the Apies and Crocodile rivers, though he himself was reported to have accompanied Steyn in his journey south as far as Steenbokfontein (-370), about 45 miles west of Rustenburg. Our efforts were then directed towards preventing ex-President Steyn from returning south to rejoin De Wet, but in this we were not successful. He evaded our columns with a small following and succeeded in joining De Wet, being present, as mentioned later, at the commencement of the engagement near Bothaville on the 0th November. Paget's force reached Rustenburg on the 31st October, and on the 1st of November he bad an engagement to the south-west of Magato Pass, when Plumer's mounted troops drove the Boers from two strong positions over some difficult country.
