When his parents took him back to New Zealand, the Queen not only paid for their passage on a good ship, but “provided many little comforts for their voyage”. About three years after their return, Hare Pomare died in Wellington Hospital, and it was after this that his son was in the care of the Church of England orphanage in Auckland. About fifteen years later, Fanny Colenso (then Mrs G. H. Simcox) met Hariata at Otaki, married to a rangatira of Ngati Huia. It was the Queen's wish that her godson should serve in the Royal Navy, and he did go to sea, but little was heard of him after that. One story says he settled in Canada; another that he died in California. In the meantime his golden christening gift has been in charge of successive Bishops of Auckland until 1933 when Archbishop Averill sent it in trust to be held by the Auckland War Memorial Museum.

MAORI GIRLS VISIT U.S. Two Maori girls have been granted American Field Service International Scholarships. The scholarships have been awarded to Miss Tungia Baker, daughter of Mr and Mrs Matenga Baker, of Otaki; and to Miss Hine Kino Taroi Wills, of Wanganui Girl's College. Miss Will's father comes from Gisborne and her mother from Wanganui. Miss Wills is considered a very bright girl. She has passed the University Entrance examination and also has the Higher Leaving Certificate. She is 16 years of age. Miss Baker has been a pupil of Queen Victoria Girl's School, Auckland. She has an outstanding academic record. She was dux of Queen Victoria in 1956 and has won other school prizes, including one for the best all-round girl. She is 18 years of age. The two girls sailed for the United States last July. Under their scholarship awards they will spend a year in America. During that time they will each live with a private family as a member of the family. The object of this scheme, under which children from the United States spend a year in foreign countries as well as children from those countries spending a year in the United States, is to bring together on common ground people of all races and thus promote international good fellowship. A vivid description of the life of an A.F.S. scholar appeared in a recent issue of Te Ao Hou.
