They iwert aroused by the shots, 18 bullets pene trating the building. The only one that took effect was the one which struck Singh in the leg. Racial feeling had been running high in' the camp at the result of the employment of the Hindus, and it is supposed that this is what caused the shooting. v William Dickenson is said to havt been the man who shot Singh.
