MAORIS IN ENGLAND.
The Native Chiefs who left Auckland in '
the "Ida Zeigler" in January last, under the .
supervision of Mr. W. Jenkins of Nelson, :
arrived in England after a pleasant voyage.
The New Zealanders were welcomed to
the shores of England with great cordiality, I
and introduced to the Queen, the Prince and
Princess of Wales, to the Lord Mayor of J
London, and to many other distinguished
personages.
The Maoris were enchanted with all they
saw and heard in that land of wonders,
* I
where the inhabitants for numbers are com-
pared to the sands of the ocean shore, and
mightiness of their strength to the great
mountains. i
Letters have been received from Mr.
i
Jenkins, and from some of the Natives, which
-we now place before our readers: |
" Ko nga pukapuka papai, e penei ana rae nga hoa
pono; te whakarere i a tatoute muta te ako
te whakatina."
