Excerpt from Memoir of Captain W. Gill, R. E: And Introductory Essay as Prefixed to the New Edition of the 'River of Golden Sand'
The hillside was broken by steep and rocky ravines, and one had to descend very carefully, creeping down over sloping slabs of rock. G it appears, was making his way down one of these places with his gun loaded, but on half-cock, and he had rested it for a moment on a projecting ledge, when, to his horror, it suddenly slipped, and, sliding down muzzle upwards, went off, the discharge being straight at him within three yards. One of his boots (high brown leather riding boots), was cut all to pieces by the shot, and it was an anxious time until we got them off and examined the injury. Neither vein nor artery had been injured. It was a most merciful escape - Clouds in t/ze East, pp. 200-201.
