Defence Works
Defence Works.
Prior to the war scare in March, 1885, New Zealand had no defence works, but they were begun vigorously at that time; and now the principal ports are in a good state of defence. Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin have all got batteries with heavy guns of the most approved description.
