- Description
A European man, probably Earle himself, seated on the banks of a stream, gazing towards a Maori village backed by a kauri forest. A Maori man is pointing towards the village, another is carrying Earle's baggage and two more have crossed the stream towards the village. Earle's text explains: "After ascending this beautiful river [the Waihou River, Hokianga] about 40 miles, and at a distance of two miles from the river is this village. 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. We halted at this village on our way to the Bay of Island, and were kindly entertained by the chief" [1827]
