Private Peter Thompson was shot at 14 times buy gun and once by arrow, one shot into the right arm and hand. Buy the sixth time he was taking fire he says,"but that did not trouble us, because we knew that the Indians when excited were very poor shot; and in our case the bullets went wide of the mark."..."was no longer terror to us>"
Then after that, someone personally attacks Thompson as he says," a loud voice from behind the bluff called to me in good English,"Come down here you white livered xxx xxxxxx and I will cut your heart out and drink your blood." The loud bleat of a sheep was the only answer I gave him."
