On 21st July I was on reserve at the Station and about 5
p.m.
I was whitening my sun hat just outside our barrack room and
beside the charge room. 1 heard two shots fired outside. 1 saw
last witness, the Station coolie, and our cook come rushing th
through the passage by the charge Room and bolt into our room.
I rushed in after them. I did not see the Station Guard.
I heard the alarm but didn't see who switched it on. I heard
further shots fired in rapid succession - I couldn't tell where.
The last shot was fired between 9 & 10 p.m., but I can't say
whether it was fired inside the Station or outside. I heard no
sound overhead. I heard the telephone bell go about † an hour
after the first shots. I had no watch. I stayed in our barrack
room until the rescue party arrived."
