Angola (formerly Portuguese Congo) - San Salvador - a serious case of a gunshot injury is tended to by the Rev. S. J. Bowskill. Dr. Mercier Gamble was then appointed to the role of chief medical officer at this particular station. In November 1913, Tulante Buta attacked Sao Salvador, in then Portugese Congo, in revolt against the Bakongo king, Kiditu. Buta accused Kiditu of betraying the Kongo people by allowing the forcible recruitment of labourers by the Portugese. In the aftermath of the uprising, Portugese officials arrested Bowskill, believing that the Protestant missionaries had instigated the uprising to challenge Portugese control. Reports in the newspaper cuttings claim that Bowskill, who had spoken out against colonial atrocities, was arrested as an act of revenge.
