Premier South African Hunter De Wet Profile
A London correspondent portrays General De Wet as a taciturn Boer leader, the premier hunter of South Africa. He speaks little English, knows every yard of his country, and favors a passive offensive, waiting for enemies to move. His tactics resemble a hunter more than a strategist, with wild yet keen perception.
