"6th September, 1846.—Major Marlow, Commanding Royal Engineer in New Zealand, having sent to England drawings and description of one of the 'Pahs' constructed in that country by the Chief, Heki, a part of a stockaded work, nearly on that plan, was erected in August, 1846, on the left of Chatham Lines, with a view of ascertaining by experiments the best mode of breaching it by bags of powder.*
