An attempted assassination at Sibi, India
As Captain and Mrs Spence were out driving, they saw a Brahui mounted on a Baluch racing mare coming towards them; as the man approached he drew his sword and attempted to attack Captain Spence. The captain lost his balance and fell under the wheel of the carriage so Mrs Spence seized the whip and retaliated, managing to drive the would-be assassin away
