HORRIBLE CARNAGE AT "DUJBEEKI"!!!
PAGE 3
It was at
this point that the battle rose in intensity to such a fierce exchange that myself and
my photographer were forced to take cover!
There was reported however much charging and countercharging with
horrendous casualties on both sides. Despite
his questionable status on the battlefield Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes were
seen on several occasions to be moving through the ranks of wounded giving what
aid they could. If this is in fact
true we do give them a tip of the hat. In
the smoke and haze by photographer and I became disoriented and after a bit
found ourselves in the midst of the Arab village!
We were about to seek shelter in one of the Arab buildings when a man
appeared in the doorway. He gave us
a stern look, stole two oranges from a basket at the doorway and hurried off in
the direction of the harbor. Later
at Camp I was told by another reporter that this undoubtedly was the great
English mathematician Professor Moriarty. One
can only wonder as to his purpose in this part of Africa.
Faithfully
reported as it happened for you,

This was my
first attempt at running a game at the Bengal club and the Bengal club's first
attempt to play gaslight. I believe
it was a good experience for all. I
as usual attempted to make too grandiose a game.
However the membership all being experienced gamers picked up quickly on
the rules, even the ones I made upon the spot and turned the evening into a
pleasant time. I look forward to
doing another gaslight game at the club. Hopefully
the membership will now develop some contraptions of their own and beat the pulp
out of me.
