refugees and vagabonds from the Coast line. It is confidently believed that all those who got away from Turanga have made the Lake district in safety; and if Te Waru be alive, it is simply waste of time writing letters to Chiefs of the Urewera. I have found it necessary to devote the last few days entirely to assisting in the paying of the natives, for the several Expeditions in which they have been engaged. A number of Ihaka's people being absent at Turanga, their payment will have to stand over until the next month. I have the honor to remain Sir, Your obedient servant (Signed) Geo. Worgan. To:- His Honor D. McLean Esq. Napier.
