Dec. 2nd . . . Have suffered the last three days with a severe complaint in my bowels, from living entirely upon vegetable food. Went to Kapiti— page 160 procured several things from Captain Mayhew for our trip to Wanganui, as the Columbine had not yet arrived. About 100 natives met in the evening for instruction. It was on Mr. D's plan from Waimate—I did not like it. I shall stop it. Looked about for a spot for a house.
