Nov. 22nd . . . Rose early in the morning, had my horses safely brought over in a large canoe to Waikanae—we came across in my boat. After some conversation with the natives went up the river. Walked over the ground where the late battle took place among the natives. Saw the place where they buried 31 of the Ngatiraukawa. Walked some hours. There are many acres of land covered with grass, wheat, barley and oats mixed togedier, and fine trees. After prayers with the natives, etc., retired to rest.
