Hi,
As I recall, he caught a young Zulu nicking off with his greatcoat, they struggled and the end result was Private Hook hitting him so hard on the head that it broke his Martini stock. A while later, the 'dead' Zulu made a sound or moved and Hook finished him with a head shot. He gave this account in a publication called 'Rare Bits' in 1883ish Cheers Simon |

This is the incident to which I think you are referring - it does not appear in either of the two accounts by Hook in my possession, only as a footnote in one of them.
