THE PURSUIT OF TE KOOTI.
The Napier Telegraph says : — Upon the return of Ropata's expedition from the Bay of Plenty to Maugapowhatu they came across and captured the three men whose tracks had been followed during the first march up from Poverty Bay to the Bay of Plenty. These are the men formerly referred to who were seeking, and unable to fmd, Te Kooti; and who left the written messages for him, mentioned previously. Tho expedition could obtain no reliable information from the Urewera, with regard to Te Kooti, except that he was at or near Pa Puni. They accordingly made their way there, the march of six days being entirely through dense bush and over endless ranges. The march entailed much privation, as for several days the men existed upon wild cabbage and thistle. Being weak from waut of food, and finding no cultivations, the expedition pushed for the nearest point for supplies, and came out at the Reinga, on the Wairoa River. During the march eleven people were taken, refugees of the Urewera tribe, living in ones and twos.
