It
was rumoured the
following day, and it is still the generally
received opinion, that the gang had landed from a junk somewhere in the bay of dai svan and had. crossed the hills to Showkewan,
returning
by
to there boat when met
the Police. Whether this was the
case or not, it is impossible, after
say;
recent events, to but the probabilities are that the gosip of the Villagers, the day after the event, was correct in the main, and that the party had landed from
a
junk at Dai-man
and departed in the jams.
ov
the
failure of their attempt . Why they
were not followed and marthed down by
the Police is simply incomprehensibile=
neither
danger, nor
dardnes distance should have prevented
there being followed by every member of the Borce stationed at Showrlewan till their capture or departure from the Island.
