Clyde Te Wairoa February 25th. 1869. ''I was at Ngatapa with Te Kooti. After the break up of the Garrison, I wandered with my brother, Hamora, in search of our companions - but unsuccessfully. I waited at Hikurangi; and came on thence to Ruha. I was with the rest of my people at Opotiki, where we were captured by Te Kooti's party. This was after the death of Karaitiana. ''Karaitiana and friends were slain by Te Waru, Te Kooti, and Paora Toki. ''Te Kooti was wounded in the foot, at the fight at RuakiIru.

''I don't know how many of Te Kooti's immediate followers escaped from the Pa. About
