I was able to find three places where it is claimed
that rules can be broken in an emergency.

Interesting to note that actual GUNFIRE occurred only
in PD, ML, and GN, yet in none of these are found the
concept of

"When it's Life and Death all rules go by the board. "

P108 - WD CHAPTER 8

That knot in the tyer must have been made a long time
ago. It had got jammed. There was a rule in the family
against cutting knots, even on parcels. But this was no
moment for rules. John had his knife out in a flash and cut the
knot. He did not even try to untie the second tyer, but cut
that also. He had the kedge anchor free. It was smaller than
the other, but quite heavy enough for John.

"Let's do what John says," said Titty. "Daddy'd say the
same... You know... When it's Life and Death all rules go
by the board. Of course, it isn't Life and Death yet, but it
easily might be if we bumped the Goblin on a shoal."

"But the D.'s are lost," said Titty. "They've got to be found.
You know daddy always says that when it's a case of life and
death no rules count."
