でmart head only, I consistently returned to the office. In something less than an hour, about 20 minutes to part #1. I heard 2 guns, I jumped up and went upstairs, (saying the assistant Superintendent "this cannot be for a doctor") to look again when I found the Ball at the mast head and one Ball at the Western yard arm. I gave immediate orders to the assistant Superintendent with all the available men to get ready - I also sent a hove patrol to the Water Police to warn them. I then dispatched the Force. I am certain 6 minutes had not elapsed before the men were out of their Station. I am confident the first signal I saw was one Ball at the mast head; I saw no Ball at either yard arm till the second time, then there was a ball at the Western yard arms.
Mr Jarman told me there were two balls, one at each yard arm. I said I saw only one, but it must be attended to at once. The morning state of Police produced shows 280 rounds of ammunition, which I should say was the reserve. They ought never to be without that amount at least of reserve ammunition. I sent over a message to the Magazine.
