When the public security is
manifestly endangered by any such assembly and no Executive Magistrate can be communicated with, any
commissioned or gazetted officer of the armed forces may disperse such assembly with the help of the
armed forces under his command, and may arrest and confine any persons forming part of it, in order to
disperse such assembly or that they may be punished according to law; but if, while he is acting under this
section, it becomes practicable for him to communicate with an Executive Magistrate, he shall do so, and
shall thenceforward obey the instructions of the Magistrate, as to whether he shall or shall not continue such
action.
