Rolles Biddle’s employee Charles Tubbs was the sole survivor of an attack on Biddle’s hut. Tubbs stated that, around noon, ‘a number’ of ‘blacks’ gathered near the hut. They threw three spears at Fastings, which Biddle broke and threw in the pond. They were given a loaf of bread and took some potatoes. They returned one hour later, surrounded the hut and threw spears ‘in every direction’, wounding Fastings in the leg. Biddle fired at the group, after which the Europeans took refuge in the hut. One of the walls was broken down, and spears continuously thrown. Tubbs fired two shots, wounding Ngarsna in the leg and Nungalta in the stomach. Biddle, Elizabeth Tubbs and Fastings died of spear wounds before sundown.
