Description: A Maori chief standing in a beached canoe, addressing a crowd of warriors, mostly seated, with a few standing. Two other long canoes are on the beach, one with a sail is in the water, and others are pulled up close to a pa or kainga in the left background. A dog sniffs the ground in the foreground. Most men are armed with guns, although one on the far right holds a taiaha. A gourd and flax kit are centrally placed amongst one group of men. Earle's text reads: "A party of warriors had collected at the Bay of Islands for the purpose of making a hostile visit to a tribe on the banks of the Thames. They were detained by contrary winds; and for several days were constantly engaged in listening to speeches from their chiefs, who addressed them from a canoe hauled on shore ... one [canoe], which I measured, was 70 feet long, and carried one hundred fighting men."

Description: Shows a kneeling woman on left recoiling as a young warrior on the right shows her the severed head of her father. A group of ten men and women stands apart in the centre background. The incident depicted is one reported by Domeny de Rienzi (in his "Oceanie", Paris, 1863, page 300), from Richard Alexander Cruise's "Ten months' residence in New Zealand" [1820], entry for 2nd March 1820 (see ATL copies at P 919.31 CRU.) The man depicted is a brother of Te Puhi, and had killed the father of the girl (an important chief of the Thames district) and taken her prisoner. Cruise notes that the young warrior threw the preserved head of her father into the girl's lap. After embracing it, she mutilated herself deeply on arms, breasts and face. Derived as a reversed image from an engraving by Louis Auguste de Sainson, from Dumont d'Urville's account of his 1827 voyage to New Zealand, among 'Pieces justificatives', p. 642 From an edition of G.L.
