WAIROA.
THREE MAORIES DROWNED. From a private letter, dated Nov. 25, we extract the following intelligence : “ With regard to the natives here they are all quiet; but to suppose that there is no sympathy existing for their Waikato neighbors is to believe natural affection to be a lie, although there may be some exceptions, owing to old scores. Latterly, there has been a marked silence, and no bouncing, on the war question ; but thoughtful men think that the war has not began yet, and that the only remedy for New Zealand difficulties is what Paddy gave the drum. “ We have had a very melancholy affair happened here during the heavy North-West gales. Three natives, Romana Takiri, his father—be Winhana te Ngaruru, and Hohepa Pate, rashly went out to sea in a verj small canoe to fish. They lay a little off shore all day, and were last seen by the Janet, which passed them about five o’clock o’clock p.m., -when it is said that Romana held up some fish, elated with success. Every search has been made, but as yet fruitlessly.”
We have since heard that the body of Wirihana was picked up on Friday last, at a place called Waiariki.
