Description
English: Description of a stockaded work similar to that constructed by the New Zealand chief Hone Heke

"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.*

  • The deviations are improvements on the rude construction of the New Zealanders."
