About the middle of that month. I was called to see a native woman who had been stabbed, as I was informed, in the European Barracks. I went to her, immediately. I think it might be about 8 in the Evening.
When I arrived I could but just perceive that she was alive. I examined her wounds. She had one immediately below the breast left breast. It appeared to have been given with a sharp pointed instrument like a Bayonet. That wound was not very deep. It had been given with the point of the instrument. A thrust not a slash.

thrust
