How did peter lalor escape the eureka battle?

Lalor, did not escape on Father Smyth's horse, he had been lying wounded for an hour under a pile of slabs, drifting in, and out of conciousness from the loss of blood, and would therefore have been completely unable to sit astride a horse, let alone ride out to Warrenheip, and return, all the time losing more blood.

For Lalor's own account of his hiding, read Lalor's article in the Argus Newspaper 10th April 1855.
