of the matter was from the Surveyor himself who came to say that the hauhaus had threatened to destroy the Station - The Station was destroyed - I felt we were committed as I have made it a point of honor to maintain inviolate our Confiscated boundary line - I wrote a strong letter to the Pirirakau on the subject and ordered the Station to be built up again - it has been done and still stands. Now if they had come to me at first I should have told the Surveyor to desist for the present, as the triangulation at this juncture is of secondary importance
