After the conclusion of the above, I proceeded to the Wairoa. Now comes the most difficult part, the of what I had been working at, namely, the organisation of all the natives of that end of the Province, into a strong, loyal party, making the Wairoa the centre. By which means the Government trusted to save the settled portions of the district from becoming another Taranaki. About the 23rd. of March, I commenced operations at the Wairoa; when arms were first given out to some of the loyal natives. In the first week of April, I proceeded to Napier to see the Government, and to fetch the stockade, which was lying at the Spit; and some Volunteers; also more arms. On the 11th. of April, I returned to the Wairoa, with 25 Volunteers, the stockade, etc. Major Lambert also went with me to fix the site for the stockade. (See "Hawke's Bay Herald".)
