Summary
| Description |
English: Plan of Ōtūmoetai Pā, Tauranga, New Zealand, 1842–1843 "In illustration of their military knowledge, I may say that when I was ordered to prepare a plan of attack of the Pah of Maketu, I consulted the chief Tupaia, of Otumaiti pah: he immediately sat down on the sand and erected a model of the pah and surrounding country, giving me the distances and command that each hill had over the pah and each other, and pointed out how it might be approached with safety. The plan I made from his model I was subsequently able to compare on the spot, and found his plan and ideas very correct." George Augustus Bennett, RE, 1843, Report on the pahs of New Zealand, and the means necessary to attack them with plans and sections of some pahs. |
