Referring to the new waterfall discovered in the Tangarakau district, the Rev. C. Bush King, curate of St. Matthew's, says :—"ln: — "In 1907 I was there on mission duty. While at Maungaroa I went over Loveday Saddle, and hearing a sudued roar of water each time. I asked the settlers about it, but they ascribed it to the wind 111 the gorge." He was not satisfied, so he started out from Tatu in search, leaving his horse on account of the roughness of the country. He proceeded afoot and discerned the head of the falls, which are 500 ft high, in cascade form. In his opinion, the water is that -of the Tangarakau River. He reported the discovery to Sir William Hall-Jones, who replied that, as far as Cabinet knew, Mr .Bush King was the first white man to traverse that part of the country.
