great space unknown to him beyond the

In this desire he was encouraged by the
British, who put vessel at his disposal,
and in the year 1887, with half dozen Of
his chiefs, be set out for England. The
departure was memorable ole in the his
tory of New Zealand, and is graphically
described by c. II. Leech. young man
now a resident of Oakland, but who was
in Auckland al the time. The city on that
day was thrOnged with the native follow
ers of the King, Maoris in all stages of
civilization being on hand, from those
CARRIED in European dress to the lightly
clad and fanta tically tattooed wild men
and women from the far away mountain
Businesses, which had not yet fallen into
British clutches.
The King and his followers made the
journey in safety, and of course saw the
Queen.
And the odd part of the story is recorded
at this point. King Tawhaio was struck
with the appearance of the great queen
and made proposition II marriage to her.
Her exact answer is not known, but of
course Victoria refused the hand and
/ heart OF the chief deS pite the tatlo0ed
adOrnment on his face and body and the
alluring bait he held out in the shape Of a
long and all-conquering kingly lineage.
King IawhaiO was not hurt at the re-
fusal Of the Queen. but he thought she
was lOOIlSu HOI 10 accept, anu on MS re-
turn to his native land often spoke Of the
matter. and in these references considered
| Victoria the loser by her declination. The
New Zealand papers were full of the story
at the time and considered iU one of the
most unique in the history of the islands,
and the Maori people talked much of It,.
The fact that their beloved chief had seen
the Queen and offered her his heart, hand
and home raised her much in their esti-
nation, and was perhaps a good thing for
| England too, as it tended to soften native
luminosity toward the British inhabitants
! of the islands.
Mr.. Leech is of the opinion that the
! Maori tribes will never have another King,
owing to the broken condition of the
! people; but ii a Leader is selected it will
probably be Chief Tekooti, once the
! fiercest of his race, and of whom it is said
| in he war was utterly without mercy,
women and tender babes suffering alike at
! his hands. But the dashing out of baby
! brains is past in New Zealand. the
tribes are broken, their lands are taken,
and all that is worth having now belongs
! TO Queen Victoria, who profited without
the sacrifice of her hand to the tattooed
King.
