He was shot and killed while aboard the steamer Minnie Casey at Mangawhare Wharf (near Dargaville) by gum-digger Henry Funcke.[1] McLeod, his wife and family were travelling to Auckland, having boarded the steamer at Dargaville. Funcke also came aboard at Dargaville, with a gun, a concealed revolver and a knife. Funcke was very noisy during the trip, and the captain of the Minnie Casey took away his gun. Just after the steamer left Mangawhare Wharf, he threatened to shoot some of the passengers if he did not get his gun back. The steamer put back to Mangawhare Wharf, and Constables McLeod and Scott took Funcke ashore. From the shore Funcke once more demanded his gun as the Minnie Casey left again, and fired five shots at the departing steamer. Standing at the railing, McLeod was hit in the chest by the third shot. He exclaimed "My God" and died.[2] The steamer returned to Dargaville, where McLeod's body was taken off. A group of settlers armed themselves with rifles, and led by Constables Scott and Carr, walked back to Mangawhare Wharf in pursuit. The group found Funcke still at the wharf, and demanded he surrender. He lifted up his hands as if to fire and was shot twice, in the groin and chest, fell, and was arrested.[2] McLeod's body was taken to Auckland for burial. External links
