made a friendly speech about the Europeans, and said, though many of them drove him out of their houses, he still liked them, as his father visited and eat with many of them, besides having advised him to befriend them. He said both his fathers were now dead. They were friendly to Pakehas, meaning Heuheu; and it would become him to act as they did. If this man is only well managed, he will be a greater friend than ever he was a foe to the settlers. Crossed over to Putiki, and slept there. Mr. Taylor tells me the natives at his station are dissatisfied with Mr. Symonds, for having paid John Williams 5/-. Sent per Symonds 8/-. Wrote Captain Campbell a note about his Weretoa land in the morning. Passed the day at Mr. Taylor's till afternoon, when I went over to the town to arrange my affairs. Had tea with Taylor of the cutter, a decent, sensible man. Called at Captain Campbell's, and slept at Mr. Taylor's. Wrote him two letters, - one a testimony of the exertions he used for benefitting the settlers. The other, which is respecting the censure passed over him at a Public Meeting in town, and my not agreeing with him about the Wangahu claim.
