Nairobi, Nov, 14.

A 21-year-old English girl, Miss B. Barclay, was shot and wounded tonight by three Africans, whom she challenged on the verandah of a European house at Nyeri.

Miss Barclay, daughter of Hugh Barclay, a well-known British farmer of Mennegai, near Nakuru, was staying at the house, the police re- ported.

She saw the three Africans sneaking out of a bedroom, when she stepped out on the verandah.

One of the Africans shot Miss Barclay in the shoulder and she dashed into the bedroom despite her condition to pick up a pistol and open fire on the Africans.
