An unusual scene was witnessed tit Rotorua when the Red Indians were received by their Maori hosts, with whom they smoked “the pipe of peace” as the seal of friendship. During their brief sojourn in Rotorua the Maoris entertained the visitors in regal Native fashion. The sights of Ohinemutu and Whakarewarewa were enjoyed by the North American visitors, who found they had much in common with the Maoris. The two ancient races, probably the most picturesque in the world, fraternised freely, and the Red Indians were made to feel thoroughly at home.
