Norma Lorimer, By the Waters of Africa: British East Africa, Uganda, and the Great Lakes, 1917 Captain Hall, of the King's African Rifles, who is stationed at Maragwet about thirty miles from here. A native soldier contrived to steal a revolver and ammunition from him. He killed four men and wounded two others before he was captured. He was eventually shot by a Boer settler, whose wife the wretch intimidated. He went to the Dutchman's house and demanded some food. When the woman refused to supply him with what he wanted, he shot at her three times, but the revolver misfired and so she escaped. Her husband came along just in time to save her. He fetched his rifle, and shot the soldier dead.
