went out. They met, looked at each other, and were each afraid to fire the first shot; so departed; and so it goes on, without termination. Great excitement prevails amongst them yet; and it is not to be supposed that they care very little to attand to me regularly, under these circumstances. Repeated messages are reaching me from Mokau, which makes me very anxious to leave; but I cannot see my way clear to go till the Hua question is settled. I shall not fail to acquaint you from time to time about the native selection, which I am most anxious to complete as quickly as possible. I remain, my dear Sir, very truly yours. (Signed) J. Rogan.
