of
police,
was
sheltering
in
the
House
of
Assembly
while
a
mob
waited
at
its
doors.
Several
police
officers
were
injured
by
stones
and
various
persons
by
police
batons
when
entrance
of
a
citizens'
deputation
was
delayed.
Later
in
the
afternoon,
windows
and
doors
in
the
building
were
smashed.
Premier
Squires
was
rescued
later
in
the
night
after
having
been
besieged
for
several
hours
in
the
House
during
and
after
his
resignation
with
his
government.
The
Premier
was
taken
to
a
private
residence
nearby.
A
volunteer
rescue
party
was
headed
by
Rev.
W.
A.
Godfrey,
Rev.
G.
Johnson
and
Rev.
Father
Pippy.
The
infuriated
crowd
recognized
the
Premier
and
demanded
that
he
be
turned
over
to
them.
They
threatened
to
throw
him
into
the
harbor.
Influence
of
clergymen
was
used
to
induce
the
dispersal
of
the
mob.

No

were
reported
and
business
was
carried
on
as

Merchants,
apparently,
did
not

the

whose
only

appeared
to
be
against
