Executed but Not Dead in Abyssinia
Fragmentary report notes a so called execution in Abyssinia involving a firing through a wall of a derge room. The text is garbled but mentions a possibly alive or injured outcome and unclear details about the victim and surrounding events. It also oddly references camels in the navy and vessels moored with floats to prevent side damage.
