- Description
Several images on one pagle. At the top of the page, two shacks and a cabbage tree, 'Smith's station' at the mouth of the Waianakarua, looking inland, with the river to the right. Left, below that, Taiaroa standing on the beach, staff in hand, appearing to be speaking, observed by several people lying down. The title refers to Rauparaha's conquest of the east coast and to the local paramount chief's defiance while Rauparaha is safely in the North Island on Kapiti. Below on the right, three drawings of the same man's head in a bonnet, and a right-angles, a coastal view looking north along the beach from Onekakara, Moeraki, with several canoes pulled up on shore to the left. At the bottom left of the page, a cryptic drawing possibly of a rocky outcrop, titled Penal Sett. Moeraki, possibly refering to the number of ex-convicts amongst the whalers at Moeraki
