NEW PLYMOUTH, September 29. The Reported Attack on DaniellsWith reference to Danielle’ story re his encounter with the Maoris at Eahotu, it may be stated that Danielle is a respectable young man, and his story is perfectly reliable.

Hie statement can no doubt be easily verified if necessary. Danielle, it is believed, comoe from Wanganui.
