A scarce title, McKillop gives a personal view of the events in which he was connected, which involved the command of a pinnace armed with a brass gun. He and his crew came under concerted fire, at Porirua, but dure to the young officer’s precautions they lost not a man. He was highly praised by Grey and promoted mate as a result.
