A reconstruction "as performed in the Empress Theatre, 'Greater Britain Exhibition', Earls Court" by Mr Frank E. Fillis's troupe showing a mixed group of infantry and cavalry standing in array.
Suddenly, a scattered group of savages appears gesticulating in the foreground. The infantry fire; the cavalry pursue the natives from the scene.
In a few moments the cavalry reappear and take up their former position, and all the men raise their hats and cheer.
