at my own house, where I found all quiet. After accomplishing a 26 mile journey, not at all fatigued, though rather pained in the breast. Drank tea at the parsonage, and found Basil all right there. Coporal of Police handed me a nice report of our Waitara journey, and his proceedings during my absence. How sweet to enjoy the pleasures of home, even after two days absence. I am glad to have effected a good introduction for the Police Force along the Coast; to whom I find the natives becoming gradually reconciled and well-disposed. My native boy, Hoani, is the sweetest.tempered and best lad I have had in the country, - too good, I fear, to continue so, or at least, to live long with me. Generally at the best we expect reverses. The same with him. His good qualities may be the greater source of regret when he leaves.
