Pertaining to Hoapili and Kiliwehi—What we reported earlier is true, that Hoapili folk are in New Zealand; and we published this some months ago because in some newspapers from New Zealand, we saw of his asking to speak with the King of New Zealand; and he and the both of them were not allowed to speak with the King. We also heard rumors that they may be considering not returning, and will perhaps reside there.
