✨ Military Action Report
(6)
communication to the chiefs at Waikanae, who
had previously occupied the position pointed out
to them at the Pari Pari, and that our native
ally, Wiremu Kingi, and his party were imme-
diately on the alert, and were successful in cap-
turing eight prisoners belonging to the band
under Rangihaeata, who had come down from
the hills for the purpose of obtaining food, and
had sent to the police station for an escort to
conduct them to Waikanae: a good deal of fir-
ing was heard in the direction of the Pari Pari,
and on the hills above it, and Wiremu Kingi
sent word that he would make an attack on the
enemy to-morrow. On the other side is a list
of the prisoners taken:—
