THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 487

Regiments, amounting to about 500 men,
who are employed in throwing up a redoubt
there.

The steamer "Pioneer" left this about ten
a.m. on the 2nd for the purpose of communi-
cating with the camp at Takupetohetohe, and
ascertained that about three o'clock on the
morning of the 1st a small body of Natives
fired upon the camp, inflicting no loss, and
making off as soon as the guns were turned
upon them.

I am greatly indebted for the success of
the operations described above, to the cordial
co-operation of Commodore Sir William
Wiseman, and to the indefatigable exertions
of the officers under his command.

I have, &c.,

D. A. CAMERON,
Lieut.-General.
