Endeavour, sailed into the inlet now known as Poverty Bay; and when Captain Cook and his party stepped ashore on the bank of the Turanganui River, they were the first Europeans to set foot on New Zealand soil. Thatched raupo whares were to be seen in clearings amid the dense- bush; paddling across the bay were a number of canoes. The Maoris who had come to examine the strange visitors were well armed with spears and clubs. While at first they kept their distance, gifts were later distributed among them, and with the aid of a native who had come with him from Tahiti, Captain Cook had his first talk with the inhabitants of New Zealand. sure you use THE New Zealand Cigarette Tobacco FINE CUT OR COARSE CUT 2 oz.
