View from the top of a steep path looking down towards the beach. There is a ship in the bay, as well as other vessels in the water and on the beach, which could be waka.

These are probably women, as they both have what appear to be babies on their backs.

Description: A rangatira standing with cloak and taiaha in his right hand, framed by tall trees, and with a headland surmounted by a pa in the background. The Maori figure is reproduced in larger form on p. 128 of the same volume and is a redrawing of Richard Read's 'Tetoro, a chief of New Zealand' first published in 1823. The background landscape is possibly intended to represent the Bay of Islands, and the manner of drawing pataka is reminiscent of the work of Augustus Earle, who is the source of two other illustrations in this book. Read's engraving was the frontispiece to Cruise, R. A. Journal of 10 months residence in New Zealand. (London, 1823). The image of Tetoro bears a strong resemblance to 'A chief of New Zealand' published in John Liddiard Nicholas' Narrative of a voyage to New Zealand (London, 1817), which in turn appears to be derived from Sydney Parkinson's 'A New Zealand warrior in his proper dress', first published in the 1770s after James Cook's first voyage to New Zealand in 1769.

It is literally buried in a forest, and is a country residence of Patuoni [Patuone], the chief of the district; here he plants his potatoes, cumera [kumara], and maize, which arrive at a perfection never before witnessed. The mighty forest by which the village is surrounded consists chiefly of cowdie [kauri], the largest and most valuable of the New Zealand trees.
