TE WHITI AND TOHU.
A Press Agency telegram dated Wellington, 25th, says: The s.s. Hincmoa, with Te Whiti and Tohu on board, arrived here at 5 o’clock this afternoon. Members of Government and several other influential citizens proceeded on board. The Press also was allowed to visit the vessel. The steamer had a rough passage from Taranaki, and both Te Whiti and Tohu (who are dressed in prison garb) appeared as if they had suffered from sea sickness. They were however, in good spirits. Wi Parata, an influential chief, who was at Taranaki when Te Whiti was taken, was given permission to interview the prisoners. Te Whiti informed Wi Parata that ho did not understand the reason of his removal to Christchurch, and did not know whether it was life or death (meaning liberty or confinement.) He also stated that he was anxious that other chiefs imprisoned at New Plymouth should be sent to Christchurch with him, as it was through him that they had been arrested. The Hincmoa sailed for Lyttelton at six o’clock. Te Whiti and Tohu will be imprisoned at Addington gaol, Christchurch.
