Description: A view of the breccia-covered rock called St Peter's (Hopekako), on Whangaroa Harbour. Hutton says of drawings (3), (5), (6) and (8): "These four are views of different parts of Whangaroa harbour – No. 6 is a most singular piece of rock work – it has very much the appearance of an old castle, more particularly so when seen from a distance (see No. 8). The tree at the right hand corner of No. 8 is a fairish drawing of a Pohutukawa tree."
