Description  Was staying at Tiwarrah c.1848. Gordon �had given up indigo, and was going to the Nepal frontier to trade with the Nepalese. For this purpose, he had brought up a lot of things to barter, amongst them some very old muskets.� Jack Tindal tried these muskets: he placed Gordon in front of himself, put the butt against Gordon�s shoulder, and attempted to fire the musket, while Gordon struggled because he was terrified that the musket might go off. Tindal finished by delivering the following verdict: �That, though the weapons were undoubtedly of the dangerous order, the danger was greatly diminished by the fact that the guns would not go off.�
