men who had carried out the ‘Wallandool’ robbery. On this occasion Morgan was identified as “Jack Morgan, alias Big Morgan”. On Wednesday, August 26, the police contingent led by Henry Baylis discovered Morgan's camp in dense scrub about seven miles from Urangaline Creek. Sub-Inspector Morrow, Trooper Brown and Baylis remained at the camp to await the bushrangers’ return. It appears that Morgan “had notice of the movements of the police” and after nightfall stalked the campsite “for the purpose of surprising the police”. Towards midnight the police heard a noise in the scrub. Baylis went to investigate “but had not advanced three yards before a discharge of firearms took place in front, close to his person, and he fell instantly”. Trooper Brown returned fire “in the direction of the flashes of the ruffians’ guns” but the bushrangers escaped. Baylis had received a bullet through his right breast which exited from his left shoulder “leaving a fearful opening”. The Police Magistrate eventually recovered, though he continued to suffer from the effects of the injury. The bullet that had passed through his body was later presented to Baylis “enclosed in a gold casket”, which he wore suspended from his watch chain. In 1875 the colonial government presented Baylis with a gold medal for his “gallant and faithful service”. On the day following the wounding of Baylis a shepherd named Haley, in the employment of Henry Osborne at ‘Brookong’ station, was "fired upon and dangerously wounded by armed men". This incident was later included in a published list of crimes perpetrated by Daniel Morgan, in apparent retribution for the shepherd providing information to the police regarding the location of the bushrangers' camp. The events of the night of August 26 did not go well for the bushrangers. ‘Flash Clarke’ had been severely wounded in the exchange of gunfire and Morgan had to assist him to escape. He took Clarke to an isolated location on ‘Mahonga’ station (south-east of Urana) where he died. A decomposed body was found on the run several years later, supposedly wearing the black coat Clarke had worn on the night of the shooting. As a result of the wounding of Henry Baylis the New South Wales Government offered a reward of £200 for “any person who shall give such information as will lead to the apprehension of the offender”.
