22 facts

Predicate	Value	Ref
Has Description of Event	My mother had to learn to use firearms, and several times had to defend herself when attacked by blacks during father's absence on the run. I recollect her telling us how one night she woke to see flames through the cracks of the slab walls. Looking out she saw a number of blacks dancing round a huge bonfire. For a few minutes she could not think what to do, then loading all firearms she could lay her hands on, fired them as quickly as possible from the different cracks in the walls to make the blacks think the men had returned. This evidently frightened the blacks, as they ran toward the creek. When she thought it was safe to venture out, she had to rouse the Chinaman cook from his hiding place to help her put out the fire.
