SURVEY OF THE KING COUNTRY.
Auckland, This day. Mr Cussen's survey party is busily engaged on tho triangulation survey of Ihe King country. On starting, when they reached the Punui river, the first and most probably the only interference they will meet with was presented. A number of Maoris, men and women, collected on the bank of the river, and the women commenced by getting hold of one or two of tho survey party's traps and throwing them into tho river, the men standing by and laughing while tho women continued the Btrugglo for a few minutes. Tho survey party, however, got all safely across, recovering the swag of tho two first thrown in tho river, and proceeded to Kakepuku, where they camped and subsequently erected the fist trig, station.
