Description: Rough sketch looking south towards Akaroa Harbour entrance from the shore of Duvauchelle Bay. There are outlines of people on the foreshore, a house or two along the beach to the right and the hull of a partly-constructed boat further away. There is also a coastal profile along the top of the page, probably of the Canterbury alps from the sea. The phrase Gorge of Rakia above the coastal profile may be a mistake for Gorge of Rakaia Chevalier visited Akaroa in April 1866. However he also visited Dunedin in 1868 and may have added this sketch to Hodgkins sketchbook at the later date.
