Opunake, November 21
I accompanied the party of two hundred natives to Oeo yesterday, where they were met by tbose brought the day before. They looked sullen, and say they will return to Parihaka.
It is doubtful if the Taranaki men will give any trouble, but the Ngatiruanui (Titokowaru's people) will require watching, Titokowaru himself was handcuffed at Parihaka for threatening language to Capt. Northcroft, saying your day now, ours soon, have you forgotten Moturuoa and Te Ngatu o te Manu ; doubtl ess his people are imbued with the same feeling. Rations and tents were supplied at Oeo, but the people did not disperse. Hone Pibama killed four bullocks for them. Capt. Messenger arrived to-day with seventy more prisoners. Capt. Taylor left for New Plymouth one hundred and seventy three prisoners including some Waitsatos. The Hauraki left with the Paimerston and Fielding volunteers at eight o'clock yesterday morning, but the sea being very rough, she put back under Cape Egmont .about 4 p.m. and is still there. The cavalry are to receive daily allowance for their horses. Twenty more whares where pulled down. The Paribaka guard have been placed i at the bridge south of Opunake, to stop any natives crossing without a pass. Pungabehu, November 21. • Arresting operations were continued at 8 o'clock this morning. AH the natives, except Mrs Te Whiti and child and those ill, were sent out of the pah to a slope near the graveyard. There were between 600 and 700 men, women, and children present. Those belonging to Parihaka were allowed to return to the pah. It is expected that about 200 will be taken into custody and sent (o New Plymouth. Titokowaru who refused all food for two days has given in and asked for kai. When Dr. O'Carroll visited him this morning he was crying, it is supposed at finding his powers of endurance weaker than he expected. He wil' be sent to New Plymouth, and be charged with some offence. Mr Bryce being of the opinion that settlers in the neighborhood of Manaia would be very uneasy were he at large.
