Wakefield, as (allows" In tho morning, a grand salute was fired by all tho ships, which lay at anchor in an extended line between the beach and Somes' Island. The weathor was delicious; and a largo concourse of those on shore assembled to gaze on tho imposing sight. Six large Ships, decked with colours, above which the Sew Zealand flag floated supreme, wore thundering away. The natives shared In the general excitement, and proposed to take Colonel Wakefield in their canoes round the fleet. No sooner said than done; and away they started in three large war-canoes, racing under the stem of each ship in succession, while the salute continued. In Epuni's canoe, the place of honour near the stern was assigned to Colonel Wakefield, and the two other canoes were commanded by Warepori and Tuarau. They shouted their war-song most vigorously as they passed close to each astonished poop-load of passengers, and completed the circle of the vessels at full speed, without a single pause.' 1 Tho Numbor is profusely Illustrated throughout with Beautiful Photoengravings of most interesting New Zealand Subjects.
