The accounts of the slaughter at Wallaby Rocks all share this detail: as the Wangkatha began to surround the whites, Uhr sent Galway to fetch a powerful rifle from prospectors camped nearby. He posted Perrin as a decoy:
If you had seen the barbarous way he acted when we were attacked by the natives at the Wallaby Rocks, you would scarcely wonder at my dread of him. When I thought it was all over with us and spears were bounding against the rocks, we were sheltering behind, he actually shoved me outside into the open, and told me to stay there and draw their fire, and said it was all I was fit for.

“GOLD ORE AND NUGGETS FLOW IN TO AID RED CROSS,” Toronto Star. April 1, 1942. Page 3.
---
"Gold for the Red Cross'" is the latest effort to raise money for Canada's fighting men and already it's showing results. It was the idea of R. Anson Cartwright, who decided that the gold nuggets decorating executive's desks or deep in sourdoughs' pack sacks, should be put to use. Now they are melted down, the gold sold, and the proceeds turned over to the Red Cross. At the LEFT, Mr. Cartwright, and George McMillan, president of the Ontario Prospectors and Developers' association, examine some of the donations. RIGHT, Mrs. Viola McMillan, secretary treasurer, studies some ore with her prospector's "glass.",

D'arcy returned empty-handed to Coolgardie, paused for a few weeks and set out for Mount Margaret with two prospectors, George Alexander and Michael Galway, and two fresh new chums.
