Witness was walking at the rear of the other two, who were in bingle file with the deceased second. Sud- denly someone from behind "stabbed witness in the back and on looking round he saw the defendant, who advanced towards the decensed und inflicted a wound in the latter's ahost. The deportee who was lead- ing then returned and attempted to disarm the defendant, but was hin- self stabbed.
When stabbed the décensed cried out that be was "hopeless" and fell on the deck. There wore six or Boven Indian guards sitting on the hatch at the time and they promptly went to the rescue, and bad the do fendant arrested.

Pressed by Mr. Hazlerigg, who prosscuted on behalf of the Crown, witness said that he was quite sure the men were on their way to the tap and not returning. Witness.
