No stoppage was made by the main body m Palmereton, the roai being kept down the Foxton Line to their destination. On inquiry we learn that it was Tawhiao's wish to accept the invitations sent him- from Bulls and Sandon, but his people would not hear of his « turning, back m hie footsteps," and so the route was changed.
