Description: Shows a European woman demonstrating a dance in the middle of a Maroi crowd at a dance. The Maori wear European clothes but wear feathers in their hair. The handwritten text below reads: "We went to a dance with the Maoris at Rakau Para School. They are saying "Ahi! like the wind she goes". There were other white people there - their omission & other errors are due to the engraver!". Miss Outhwaite's account in the Graphic, includes an account of the dance, and relates: "Overhearing two of the young men 'egging each other on' to the point of asking the 'white girls' to dance, we intimated that we would dance 'Sir Roger' with them, which, perhaps some of your English readers will think was very bold; but then you see we manage these things better in New Zealand. They danced however in a very statuesque and classical style, which was not in accordance with my notion of how 'Sir Roger' should be danced. So I created a diversion by going my very fastest. The old men applauded, the women choked with laughter, and the young men called out 'Ahi! Ahi! Like the wind, like the wind she goes; not a sound! not a sound!' My example was contagious, and the room was very soon in a glorious uproar; and so wound up the ball".
