(f)On the sound of the alarm, jail official (except warders in charge of gangs), shall proceed immediately, no matter where or how engaged or whether in proper uniform or not, to the jail armoury and arm himself with his rifle and 10 rounds of buckshot ammunition. He shall then fall into line and place himself under the orders of the Deputy Superintendent or other senior officer present. The procedure to be followed by the officer in charge must necessarily depend on the character of the occurrence with which he has to deal. In all cases, however, a sentry should be posted on the roof of the main gate or other position where he can command a view of the interior of the jail, and two small pickets, each in charge of a Head-Warder or Senior-Warder, should be despatched to take up positions near the rear angles of the jail, and instructed to prevent any attempt on the part of prisoners to scale the walls in that direction. A few men should be set aside as a reserve to render assistance at any point where their services may be specially required and with instructions to proceed to the spot from which the sound of a rifle shot comes : (warders in need of assistance shall fire a shot in the air to intimate the fact). When prisoners are chained up outside the jail, it will be also necessary to post a small picket over them. The disposal of the remaining men will depend on circumstances.
