However, he- 8n that'l increased'the'number to 30 people fix Ohakuno (out of ,a.population of COO),- I d nothing of the kind.' I simply gavo him i impossiblo Bum to work out,, and was curio to sen how he would shuffle out; of answori it. Had! made it 15 instead of -30. his difficul would have'beon just as great. As to whetti Mr. Gaminan started his mill'for half an ho and shut down, 1 or whether Mr.. Gamman did] start/work .till; aftsr the' train arrived (as was informed) is a matter of no amsequoni as one -mill is riot all of the mills and' dc not. account for anything like from 300 to ! bona fid* settlers ; As Mr. Ivess now-, g< round a radius of two; miles from the . toi to find (0 names, and. I presume that he inea MrV Gamman's men, who certainly ; did r make any exhibition of loyalty or otherwise, can let taiat part' of ;hia :letter go for wt
