Tuesday January 6, 1857. Left in the afternoon in Mr. Lanfears schooner for the Thames and Coromandel. Harbour to visit the Natives connected in the Kawau powder robbery. Called at Waiheke for Paratene Puhatta. Wednesday 7 Jany. 1857. Puhatta arrived the wind blowing very hard, unable to proceed until it moderates in the afternoon. William Jowett near whose settlement we are anchored informs me that Mr. Grace is implicated in the affairs of the Taupo meeting, that Raharuhi of Turanga told him (Jowett) of it a long time ago, that the Natives themselves could never originate or even think of the schemes proposed by Mr. Grace for their adoption that the views enunciated by Mr. Grace are very similar to those that influenced the rebel chief Hone Heke.
