Stones being sculled and rowed at a swift rate from the direction of the old building to the opposite mainland, there were two large Sculls and being four or five men used to propel this boat I steered with and a sword - they pointed the Musket and revolvers at us but did not fire - we got near to two of the Convicts who were about in rear of the main body. I was a little in advance of the main body, forty yards.
"Jones" I called to one of the two nearest Convicts to stop but he continued to pull - the Convict boatmen pulled as hard as they could as if they were pulling for a race - the Convicts pulling the boat got to the opposite shore about three minutes before my boat arrived.
Jones and Turnkey landed. The Convicts in our boat were Short sentence men and in reply to my question said they would not run. I trusted them, and Jones and I went in pursuit of the escaping Convicts who were ascending the hill. I could see that they had a musket and two revolvers with them.
I cut at him with my Sword and wounded him in both arms he turned and made a blow at me with a hard wood Carrying poke but was partially broken in strength by an Chinese bamboo hat that I had picked up, having lost my Cap - the blow inflicted a Contusion on my forehead (exhibits the wound on my forehead).
At that instant Turnkey Jones approached and fired at the Convict who was attacking me, wounding him in the back.
