OTAMATEA, KarpaRra, Auckland, New Z-aland. December, 18th, 1879.

Dear—— Monday, November 24, I step- ped on board a small serew propelled str., lying at Auckland steamboat wharf, en route fur Otamatia. | The scenery up the Waitemata river is ‘not very beautiful, for though its course is winding on both sides the land is bare of foliage and rises in smooth round, brown, grass covered hills, which break off at the | river side in steep banks of no great height, | A few rough looking farirers, one or two ‘gentlemen yeomen, and a few tourista and | sporting characters, comprised the passe n- | gers. Hearing a gentlemanly locking | erson asking some questions about Otamatea, I {enquired of him 7f he were acquainted with | anyone in that district, he replied that he ‘knew every one there, and [ soon found that he was an intmate friend of R's, so he and I were boon companicns to the end of the journey. We arrived at Riverhead at about 430 p.m., and getting into the queer little Kaipara cars, the scats of which run along the sides facing each other, were soon rollng through low, swampy land, with wild flax on every side as high as the train itself, When about half way across the peninsula, we were traversing cleared lands and cultivated farms appeared. When the train stopped at the station in the midst of a Maori villiage,an old tatooed veteran stepped on board, and took his seat opposite tome. ‘A Kaipara chief,” whispered my friend, ‘he is in the wrong car.” He roon found his mis‘ake, and went into the second class car. We reached Helensville at sunset, a village consisting of two hote!s and about half a ccozen private dwellings,

There was quiie a crowd of old settlers

in the hotel parlor, discussing their own

experience. Perceiving that | was a stranger, they began to pump _ the new chum, but not inarude way. “I

have brought your wife with you,’’ said one jolly looking old John Bull. IL replied in the negative, thinking it might help me’some future day, and so the evening wore on, talking abont farming, cattle raising, &e. When it was time to go to bed, one of them ssid to me, ** Keep out of the claws of the land jobbers and yours is a straight road to fortune, my young friend.” ‘Ail right, old chap.” I muttered to myself. Next morning, bright and early, we went on hoard the little steamer Minnie Casey, which pushed her way among the mangrove trees growing in the narrow stream through which we wound our way, black ducks rising on every side as coolly as though they knew we had no time to shoot them. The wind had risen since we started, and by the time we had arrived near the leads had increased to a gale. At this place the waves make in from the ocean, and proved too much for the sea- going qualities of our litule craft, and so we came tu anchor in a sheltered cove. From Helensviile there were only three passen- gers—my friend, myself, and the Maori chief before mentioned. The aboriginal New Zealander who stood before me was about 6 feet 2 inches in height, mascular and weil formed, with no tendency to obesity to mar his agility. He was dressed in the European style—a suit of dark tweed and hard felt hat. His head wes high, his face long, with strong, well-developed bones, his color almost as black as a negro, but the horrible scrolls evenly and symme- tvicaily chiselled over his whole face were of a dull, leaden hue. By my side stood ihe mate, chafliug bim (the chief) on bis former exploits, for my benefit. ‘‘Come, now,” said my nautical neighbor to the grim old aboriginee, “how many of the mis- sionaries did you help to eat?’ ‘ Yagh !” replied ** Mr. Brown,” with aa open smile, which showed his molars in an excellent sta‘e of preservation, ** only two reai mit- tenaries ; eat five Pakeha preachers ; hate methonite preacher ; have my two wife in spite of tem. Eat lots pakehas long ago, not muittenaries” (pakehas is Maori for white man). ‘‘ I not hke pakchas, too salt, salt,” spiuttering and creasing up his

tattooed face into black and leaden wrinkles. The mate glanced at him, as, with great suavity of manner, he

swept his hat from his head while the mate introduced us, and then extending his hand and seizing mine cordialiy, said in his own language, ‘haere mai,” *‘haere mai,” adding the translation, ‘‘welcome,” ;‘'welcome,” 1 returned his squeeze and ithanked him for his good wishes, wouder- ‘ing whether he was sincere about the | Pakeka being ‘‘salt, salt.”

As our steamer was likely to be detained ‘some hours by the storm, my friend, “Mr. | Browne,” and [, went onshore. ‘ Mr, ' Browne” lighted a fire on the beach to— to !? sh, well, merely to gather his clans- | men from across the river.

. We and I wandered over the | hills, threngh stunted bushes about two lteet in height. My companion stooped and picked up something like soft, shining | stone, and handed it to me saying that is '* Kauri gum,”

jcountry. ‘‘Here you see it all about you, ‘the gum protruding from the soil, and you jhave only to sit down with aspade aad /make £2 stg. aday. These hills, ssid my fellow-'raveller, were once covered with Kauri pines, many of them perhaps 15 feet in diameter. The forest has been burned, and the resin exuded and was buried in the soil, and soif you are hard up at any time you can always make sure of an exist- ‘ence by going to oe, Kauri (pronounced

‘owre) gum fields and selling your spoj

@ the pbarest sYors keeper,” The ahs wh

one of the exports of the’

setting, casting a flood of soft, y+ llowish light, over the jwjuiting bays of greenish white water, brightening the brown, bare hills, and costing darker shadows in the deep, grass-grown dells below us. We sought the riverside agsin. As we strolled along the shore, M:. -— drew my atten. tion to sune raised ridges of coar.e black sand. IL picked up some, it was genuine iron, though in litie grains, and mixed with the white sand of the beach.

_ In the South Island, they collect this sand and melt it up into bars for exporia- tion and home use. A few of ‘** Mr. Browne’s’’ numerous family had collected ‘at a house on the shore, and came to the door to “‘speer” at us as we passed.

We hailed the ship’s boat, and went on

board again, and sat down to Schnapper, a ‘delicions fish, fresh from the river, and mealy potatoes, with a sharpened appetite. During the night the wind fell, and at about 1.30 a. m. we were landed with our valises at Batley. The Hotel was a good sized, verandahed cottage. On enquiry we found that R had been waiting there ali day for me, and had at last gone to bed, thinking we would not get in unt the jmorning. While he ‘nodded, nesrly |napping,” softly I came tapping, tapping, at his chamber door, only that and nothing ‘more. By'long years of weary parting, “that’s ‘the boy,” he tried, upstarting, out of hed icame quickly tumbling, for a match and ‘candle fumbling; by the light of waxen itaper, made as theugh he'd cuta_ caper, seized my hands in both his own, “ and you really are come home, and this is you I really see,” to which [ said, ‘*J think it be.” Weil, he said, I can hardly realize it; are you too tired to leave Batley to-night ? I replied, I came to New Zealand prepared for anything and everything, and am quite ready to go on with you,

We got into R’s boat and were soon shov- ing our way into the dark river under the lowering moouless sky, oars dip atd be- tween the strokes come questions and answers flowing swifter than Atamatias stream. Aftera three mile row our keel grazed the sand and we made our way ip the darkness to the beck of the house. They soon had a rousing fire 1s the large old fashi ned ingle. M. wele med me with *Haere Mii, Haere Mai, Haere Mai, thrice welcon e.”’

Then poured in tributary streams of children, all anxious to welcome the wan- derer. We partook of a light supper,while the blazing faggots in the open mele crackl- ed a merry chorus to a meriy greeting. At about 3 a.m, I was shown 10 a reat little room and songht ‘nature's sweet resiorer’ with a relish | had not known since having home. When 1] went down in the morning I found whathad Teen parsed over in the lateness of my «rrival the night befere. Great feathery branches of fern 10 feet long bending over the front entrance waved ‘* Harre Mai” to the new comer. Over the hall door were arrayed, on a white background, delicate fern leaves, forming the words welcome to N. Z. On each site of the aoor stood tall nikaus stems, with spreading, palm-hke foliage ; under the words of welcome were scrolls, monkey-taila, the children | call them, fornied of the soft curled heads of giant ferns, terminating in long pointed stalks—a capital imitation ef pen flourish- ing. Pretty, graceful fern drapery drooprd from windows, brackets and every available place in the parlour. The dining-room was similarly decorated, and in my bed. room were two large nikaon branches bend- ing over my bed, as ii to say “‘rest and peace.”

I must now give you a short description of Fanoa, R’s place. The house is a neat cottage with hipped roof and pretty veran- dah, over which white roses climb to the roof. It is surrounded by a luxuriant flower garden. In obscure corners are ger- aniums fifteen feet in height, pelargoniums of every hue, pinks and carnations in pro- fusion, beautiful roses, bulbs that do not grow in the North, and annuals of every kind, growing almost unheeded. At the rizht side is a thriving young orchard, at the back a kitchen garden which verifies the old proverb—‘‘tick!e me in seed time and I will laugh in the harvest.” Out of this garden come lirge, round, mealy potatoes, which, when boiled, roll oat of their jackets ; peas, beans, carrots, parsnips, cabbage and other vegetables in abundance. Strawberries we hive three times a day, with sugar and thick, sweet cream, Peaches are making a good show for next month. Rhubarb or summer apple is a drag. Honey will be plentiful about Christmas. R -— has six hives of bees which furnish the house with their delicious stores, in quan ittes which exsables the family to use it whenever they feel ‘‘dispused,” ail the year round. Atthe back of this garden, which slopes a litle toward a piece of marshy ground, stands a Jarge weeping willow, sweeping the gronnd with its trail- ing branches Furtherup the tiver is the hayfield, which, strange te say. 1s oats, that gran being grown fr fcdder and stacked hke ordinary hey. Bebind the dwelling-honse, tar back in the yard, are cowsheds, piysties, &*. Not far off the

cattle graze gn trefoil, natural grasses, &>, yrowing on steep, bmken bil- locks. At the end of these hilce s is

the fence, and behind that again, citi. bing steep hillsides and tumbling into broken, irregular dells, is the forest. The Maon school on the western side is about JUx40 fee*, comfortably arranged inside, superior to most of cur country schols at bome, Beyond the school is the shed tor the chl- dren to play in, in rainy weather. The prevailing wood in the forest is Kouri pine, and its cark foliage strands out iv pron ivent couirast to the hundred lighter-lcaved trve- mirgling withit, The whole coun ry far anc near is a succession of tumbled hiliovks, sloping every conceivable way, some g assy, some tiee-covercd, at their base generally a piece cf marshy ground or a rivalet wino- ingits way rmong dense growth of For. mium Fenar, or New Zoalend tlax, a plane having uo resemblance to Lush flex. ard feathery ferns, twen'y feet or more in height, cynecesiing the, stream, with its sweeping branches. Bolord guing any fur-

ther, | must give you a few hints for pre- pouncing Maori, The rule is to pronounce all the syllables, but @ is generally goft like ‘**fah” in the musical scale ; ¢ is prononneed a, and ¢ is e, The river and settlement in which Tanca is situated is called Otam-a-ta-a. Batley is three miles fr Tanoa, and beiw en li sthe Ma ri‘ dlace of Kakaria, wiich has a church and resi

dent Wesleyan missionaries. The tate:

tatea fi ws into the Kaipara, which gives i's name to the country around. There are European settlers scattered through the surrounding hills and valleys, but the houses are generally a mile or so apart. We visited some of these settlers, and | | inust own to being surprised at the air of refinenent and style whieh pervaded every- thing. In one of the firet we visited, the furniture was solid, good and substantia! in the old English style, everything beautiftuily neat and scrupulonsly clean; the partitions not lathed and p'astered, as we have them ‘at home in Canada, but made of polished Kauri pine, a very handsome wood, differ. ent entirely from our northern pine, aod much heavier, The inmates had evidently lost nothing of their refinement and educa- tion by living in the wilds; perhaps that ‘was owing in part to the good works, liler- ary, scientific and poetical, which 1 noticed on the book shelves. Wishing to ‘obiain a good view of the surrounding country we climbed the nearest emi nence, and lying down on the grass ‘under the shade of a tree viewed the | scenery about us. Behind were steep | forest clad hills, in front and ali around, | hillocks sloping in every conceivable and ‘imayinable direction, grass grown and doi- ted over with sheep and cattle; lower down | in the valieys, were cultivated patches, neat cottages, and little winding streams meand- ering through the low lying fields, on their way to the river beyond. Returning to the 1ouse, we sat down to a well spread table, 'decorate]. with flowers, and bearing a goodly share of old and genuine silver, the cloth and napkins snowy white, the China of the beat, and the viands tempting end various; among other things on the tabie, ‘Tf may wention splendid beef which had | been shot in the woods a few day’ previous, | wild pork and wild ducke, each excellent, and newly made wine, the jaice of the grapes which climbed over one side of the | dwelling,

In the afternoon we took a stro!) through the *‘forest primeval” where are to be seen giant kouris, ferns twenty-five feet in hei: ht, with greeefal feathery upward aweeping branches; trees a hundred feet high, tangled parasites that cling hke long ston! ropes to the limbs of forest veterans, stretching in long swinging cables from tree te tree, the cluwabing clematis hanginy trom tangl.d boughs, showering down crim son flowers upon us, the green, parisitic, ferv-hke growth entirely hiding the trunke of growivg pine, puri and other living wood,

The purling stream, shadowed over by fern trees and New Zealand flax ; the Tni bird, warbling in soul-melting notes, ‘Seek, seek, seck her out,—scek her out.”

A dozen letters might be deyoted to this sulj ct, but we must pass on through syl- van glades, emerging upon the tramway or wooden rais, over which the trucks ran, bearing huye kauri loys. The start is of course on the bul side. A train of trucks is loaded and away they go, rushing like an avalanche, with a rear that startles the forest, down the steep billside with a velocity that carries them over all the up- grades on the road, unhesitatingly, and before they have completed their journey they have traversed a distance of nearly two miles. We saw some smeal/ logs lying in the river, about seven feet in diameter.

Tt is time to close this epistle.
