THE RESCUE OF HURSTHOUSE.
A local correspondent sends us the following authentic account of the circumstances under which the late Mr C. W. Hursthouse was rescued when held prisoner by the Maoris at To Kurai: —■ "The whare was broken open by Kahu, a brother of Wabamii, and Helen Wetevo, well-known as Te Manawa, a daughter of Wetere Te Reringa, the Mokau chief. Helen Wetere removed the chains from his legs, which were bleeding, assisted by Kingi Wetere, her brother. Te Kooti and his party were going to Te Kumi on the same errand, but the party under Kahu had effected his release before their arrival.
