Head Quarters,
Camp Patea 17th February, 1865.
SIR,—I have the honor to inform your Excellency
that on the night of the 4th instant, Brigadier-General
Waddy, C.B., marched from the camp at Nukumaru
with the force detailed as below, and crossing the
Waitotara about 1½ miles from its mouth, at day-
break the following morning encamped on the right
bank of the river. Colonel Weare, 50th Regiment,
was left in command of the remainder of the troops
(strength as below) at the camp at Nukumaru.
Force under Command of Brigadier-General Waddy,
C.B.

Force under Command of Colonel Weare, 50th Regt.

On the night of the 15th, Brigadier-General Waddy
marched from the Waitotara, moving partly by an
inland track and partly along the beach, crossed the
mouth of the Whenuakura at low water early on the
morning of 16th, and arrived on the left bank of the
Patea, where he is now encamped.

On the same night Colonel Weare broke up his
camp at Nukumaru, and took up General Waddy's
former camp on the Waitotara.

Both the Waitotara and Patea can be entered by
steamers of very light draught, and the two camps
are supplied by sea from Whanganui, by the Colonial
steamers "Gundagai" and "Sandfly."

I am greatly indebted to the officers in charge of
these two vessels, viz.: Mr. Cadell and Mr. Marks,
for affording me the means of reconnoitering the
coast, and for the zeal and good will with which they
perform the important duties of supplying the troops,
and keeping up the communication with Whanganui.
I have, &c.,
D. A. CAMERON,
Lt.-General.

Captain James Holt to be Under-Secretary of Defence.
Colonial Defence Office,

Captain JAMES HOLT
to be Under-Secretary in the office of the Minister
for Colonial Defence.
This appointment to date from the 1st February,
1865.
By His Excellency's command,
H. A. ATKINSON.
