WAIROA.
Intelligence reached town on Wednesday that, on the evening of Monday, Felix Goulet, his wife and children, arrived at Turiroa, having made their escape from a party of Hauhaus under the following circumstances : — On Sunday morning, Felix, whose run is far back, on the river, was about to start for Clyde in a canoe with five bales of wool. The canoe was all ready, with two frieudly natives in it — Te Warehi and Te Amo, when Goulet suddenly heard the report of a gun. He ran out of the house, heard more firing, and saw two natives on the hill, about 200 yards off, calling to others who were down below, and heard pretty sharp firing. Satisfied that this was a raid by Hauhaus, he took his wife and children and ran as fast as he could for another canoe about 100 yards from the house, which he at once launched into the current of the river, and made his escape. He heard several shots afterwards, and there is reason to fear that the two natives left with the larger canoe have been killed.
