Its position is such that it could not be easily surrounded, as it is barked by a bush. We may state th.it we have been informed by a correspondent that nn the 20th Te Kooti w;<s at Maungapoukato, and Mr Commissioner Clarke went down and had all the wo:nen and children removed from Kakurnkn's pah, and by his instructions the pah was strengthened. The natives had planted crops m the neighbour hood and professed. their anxiety tore main and gather them. It appears that on the 2nd Te Kooti's party arrived at Itsikiiraku's pn. Te Kooti appears to have surrounded the pah, and the in mates surrendered, without the slightest show of resistance ; m fact it appears that the whole thing had been pre arranged, and that the form of sur render was gone through merely to add prestige to Te Kooti's arms, and to in timidate the friendly natives along the East Coast. For some time previous no fires were lit m order that the at tention of the friendly natives might not be attracted. At this time there was a party of natives at Marsh's pa, on the eastern side of the Ohiwa harbor, while at Rauporoa pa there were about forty Arawas, who hail previously been reinforced by ten of the IS'gati pukeho. The, pa. of Rauporon had been strengthened come days previously m anticipation of an attack by the Hauhaus. Te Kooti's followers and Rakuraku's. people are reported to have fraternised, and Te Kooti inquired whether any Europeans were living m the neighbourhood. He was informed that Mr Pitcairn lived at Ohiwa, and m the evening Te Kooti paraded ten of his old comrades of the Chatham Islands. It is stated that they were all dressed like soldiers, aud that Te Kooti wore four revolvers m his belt, with a sword by his side and a teles cope m his hand. Ultimately Ilemi, Kakiru, and Rangiano were told off to make the attack. We may state this Rangiaho is not the same man that shared Te Kooti's fortunes at Ngatapa. The murderers proceeded toTe Tarawai, and there procured a canoe, and soon reached the island of Uretara m the middle of Ohiwa harbour. Mr Pitcairn, it appears, was out shooting at the time.
