Mon Nov 10
The “Dominion” gave us news that the man that shot at Commissioner of Police Cullen last Monday has been arrested. On parade at 8 am + rode down to wharves – took up position in Waterloo Quay opposite entrance to Rly [Railway] Wharf. Very slow morning but at midday “F” Squadron was ordered up to Post Office Square to clear away

a mob of strikers who were molesting the foot “specials”. When we arrived strike pickets had got the men quiet so we lost [sic] chance of a good bit of sport – hard luck! Very quiet afternoon – spent most of time eating fruit + afternoon tea – tried a cigar but could not make much of it. The steamers are now unloading + great cart-loads of fruit going into City. Left for camp at 5.10 pm via Te Aro + Kent Terrace – no trouble en route. Mrs Vincent + Miss Paterson down to see Tom. Supped on Maud’s cakes + toffee – much appreciated by the “boys”.
