MAKING OF 120 FOOT MAORI WAR CANOE IN NORTHERN FOREST.-As part of the plan of Te Puea Herangi, of Ngaruawahia, another Maori war canoe for the 1940 centenary is being built in the Puketi State Forest, near Kerikeri. It will probably be the largest ever built in New Zealand, over 120 feet long, made in three sections. It was hauled from the bush last week by a bullock train, and the pictures above show the animals straining to move a great 31-foot length.
