No, when I repeated the story, Siebert jumped up and started hitting me with his open hand, followed by a hosepipe, he hit me over my face and my chest and my back.  Then he resumed his seat and the questioning restarted.
	Eventually I told them that the story that I had indicated that Steve just casually went along while I had formal work to do in Cape Town, was not accurate and that in fact, that our trip had a political objective.  I then briefly gave him an overview of the kind of internal problems we had in the Black Peoples' Convention in the Western Cape and that it had been decided that someone of Steve Biko's seniority should go down with me, to see if we could sort out these particular issues.
	At that stage Siebert and Snyman got up, they indicated that I now knew what they wanted and they were going to leave me for the rest of the night to do a statement on my history, on what we were doing in Cape Town on the trip, what happened in Port Elizabeth.  He indicated that they knew of a pamphlet, there was sufficient people that had given them information and I was required to speak on all of these things.
	They then left me in the company of two new Security Police Officers who spent the rest of the night with me while I wrote a statement which I finished later on and the next morning Siebert and Snyman and the other Officers Niewoudt, Marx and Beneke returned to where I was still seated.
