Conversation on Paikakariki Hill between two travellers—old acquaintances : “ Hullo, Boss, where have you put in the night ?” “Why, at Waikanae. I always manage to make a stage there if possible!” “Is it a good house?” —“Hot a better on the Coast for cleanliness, civility, and the best of everything to eat and drink.” “ But how was your horse looked after ?” —“First class ; as much as ho could stuff into him, and a dry clean bed,” “ I always fancied a fellow would have the miserables in such a lonely spot; why, I’m told there is no one to speak to ?”—“ Don’t you believe it ; you put in an hour or two with Jim Erskino or old Tom Wilson, and I’ll guarantee they’ll keep you alive.” “Old whaling yarns, I suppose?”—“You bet, and good ones too, of forty years ago.” “ Can you cross from there to Kapiti ? “Yea, Jim keeps a number of good boats, and will cross you any time in fair weather.” “ Any shooting ?”—“ Any amount.” “By Jove ! I’ll put in a week there.” —“Do, you won’t regret it.” “ Well, so long.” KANAE.
