I fired at him and he fell; I again looked round and saw Weeip throwing — I fired my other barrel at him, but missed. I then said to my brother, "We must run for it." We started, he took round the side of a hill, and I ran straight for the river. I had dropped my gun and tumbled down twice in descending the hill. When I got to the bottom I turned round towards my brother; the natives were on the right hand. ”
