At the fourth spruit Sapper Webb's horse failed to get up the bank and he was left in a very dangerous position.

In face of a very heavy rifle and shell fire, and, notwithstanding the great chance of being cut off, Sergeant Engleheart returned to Sapper Webb's assistance.

It took some time to get the man and his horse out of the sluit and the position became momentarily more critical owing to the advance of the Boers.

Shortly before this, Sergeant Engleheart had shown great gallantry in dashing into the first spruit, which could only be reached in single file and was still full of Boers hesitating whether to fly or fire.
