Relocation To New Zealand
In 1865 Cadell was in New Zealand employed by the New Zealand government as commandant in the Waikato Steam Transport Service, a support group during the New Zealand land wars.
In March 1865 Cadell was involved in the mutiny of Captain Hannibal Marks, on the HMS Sandfly. Cadell ordered the first mate of the Sandfly to get underway without its captain. When Marks caught the ship in a row boat, he placed the mate under arrest for taking orders from Cadell. Cadell then ordered Marks to reinstate the mate, and fire another crew member. Marks refused and the crew sided with Marks.
