Date: 1841 - 1773

By: Pardinel, Jean Charles, 1808-

Reference: A-211-032

Description: Officers (including Captain Cook) and sailors greeting Maori aboard the Resolution, during Cook's second visit to Queen Charlotte Sound, on his second voyage to New Zealand, probably in October 1773. Title also in Spanish. There were no drawings of this moment from the artists of the second voyage. It seems likely that the engraver, Pardinel, drew the scene from imagination. The meeting probably shows the first contact between the Maori of Queen Charlotte Sound and Cook and the crew of the Resolution after the incident at Grass Cove, some months earlier, when crew of the Adventure were killed and eaten. At the point when Cook returned to Queen Charlotte Sound for this second visit, he and his men were unaware of this incident.

By: Heberley, James, 1809-1899; Andersen, Johannes Carl, 1873-1962

Reference: MS-0971

Description: The early section of the diary recounts Heberley's experiences as a captain's apprentice and cabin boy on vessels sailing out of London to many destinations including Hamburg, Sydney and the West Indies. Much of the later narrative describes whaling and the life of a whaler in Cook Strait and the Marlborough Sounds. Also describes life with local Maori which includes comments on Maori tribal wars, his experiences with Te Rauparaha, the taking of slaves and conflict with Europeans. In 1831 Heberley took as his wife a Maori woman at Port Underwood (later married by Samuel Ironside in 1840). Heberley purchased land in Port Nicholson before the arrival of the New Zealand Company. He piloted the Tory into Port Nicholson, and round the coast to Wanganui and Taranaki. While she was at Kaipara he climbed Mount Egmont with Dieffenbach (Dec 1839). Diary ends in June 1843 as Heberley gives up his role as a pilot operating in Worser Bay and moves into Port Nicholson to start fishing and returns to whaling. Diary probably transcribed by an unknown hand, with further annotations added, giving proper Māori spellings for words used in the original manuscript. Heberley was a whaler who became a pilot in Wellington. He was also known as `Worser' and Worser Bay is named after him. His brother's name, 'John Hebley', appears at the top of the first page.

By: Colvin, Neville Maurice, 1918-1991

Reference: B-184-056

Description: The title is 'The dinkum horries'. The word 'hori' was a derogatory term used to describe Maori. The scene is a Maori pa inside a fence, perhaps in Rotorua, as there are mud pools. There are two 'No Smoking' signs stuck in the ground as well as a 'Smoking tapu' sign stuck to the fence and a 'Non smoking fumerole' sign deside a small fumarole with a bung in its vent. A party of Pakeha visitors run for their lives but not before a young woman is trussed and carried off, while another woman is trussed and being salted in a mud pool by a Maori woman smoking a 'dinkum Maori pipe' and a man is being boiled in a 'genuine pot circa 1826'. Two other signs read 'Smoking tapu' and 'Johnny Waka spirits born 1820'. Context - appears to relate to a Maori reputation for smoking and drinking and (former) cannibalism Below the cartoon is the title in pencil 'The dinkum horries' and the words '4 col B.P. today'. Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s). Physical Description: Ink on paper 380 x 560 mm
