- Description
Shows the pa as seen from possibly one hundred metres away, and from behind a row of low trees. Two lines of red-coated soldiers, about 10 in each line are about to enter the pa through a hole just made in the palisade. As yet there are no soldiers lying on the ground. In the foreground, a soldier sits watching the action from a fallen tree trunk, two Maori sit together near right and two others walk separately nearby. At right, a man dressed in blue, and with a sword hanging from his belt, peers at the action from behind a tree-trunk which forms the end of a wooden palisade. Through at hole in this palisade at far right, a cannon on wheels aims towards the pa and is manned by two other men watching.
