Rangi Pokiha welcomes His Excellency doctor they had known in their youth, and Sir Arthur obviously enjoyed their stories of past days. There was time to talk to many in the relaxed atmosphere, and time for more informal entertainment before a delightful luncheon. Sir Arthur left to the accompaniment of more songs, and left many happy old people talking to each other about the conversations they had had with him. The cloak presented to His Excellency was beautifully made, with blue, white, gold and red feathers making it one of brilliant colours. A border of Aonui pattern ran down each side of the feather overlay, and at the nape of the cloak, hukahuka feathers fell in graceful folds where the intricate whakaruakopito taniko pettern began. This was woven in black, red and white to a local tribal design. Mrs Rerekura and Mrs Grey spent almost 200 hours working on the cloak, and used feathers collected over three years. Lined with royal blue satin, it was truly a magnificent gift. Sir Arthur talking to Mr. Winiate Parau. At right is Mr Rangi Metekingi
