There were large jags in the spears, and I cut them off and put them in my pocket.

At the same time we got speared the horses got speared too, and jumped and bucked about and got into the swamps.

I now told Mr.
Kennedy to sit down while I looked after the saddle-bags, which I did, and when I came back again I saw the blacks along with Mr.Kennedy.

I then asked him if he saw the blacks with him.

He was stupid with the spear wounds, and said 'No'; I then asked him where was his watch?
I saw the blacks taking away watch and hat as I was returning to Mr.Kennedy.
Then I carried Mr.Kennedy into the scrub.
