Two of the four Maori census subemuiierators in the Wiiiapu area, district No. 26. had to cover extremely difficult country in delivering the forms, including heavy bush which is absolutely roadless, and the fording of almost unfordable rivers. Between them they received no fewer than seven offers of marriage. The offers came from enterprising Native fathers with eligible daughters. Possibly leap yeaihad something to do with it. From the same source it is understood that romance will cap the journey of one of tbe sub-enumerators, and that u Native wedding of very wide East Coast interest will be solemnised within the next mouth.
