General remarks for February, March & April 1817
Feby —3. In the forenoon I was visited by the chief Tahaaha and a party of his friends; at his earnest request I presented him with an Axe; but he was nonetheless very troublesome and unruly in consequence of having brought 6 Hogs and 70 baskets of Potatoes for an Article which he could not obtain in the Settlement. I endeavoured to appease him but in vain, until some of the Scholars went to him and told him I was shedding tears! Upon this, he ordered the Hogs and Potatoes to be brought to my House, told me he was ashamed of his ingratitude and would give me them for nothing. He promised to abstain from all threatening Language in future and left his Son under my care on the day before Good Friday. I intend to pay him for his property as soon as I can procure the articles he said he was in want of. I am very happy that the Chiefs at a distance do not object to send their children to School. This augurs well. [f]
20th Feb[ruar]y. Arrived the Van of Shunghees Navy. The War Canoes continued to come to the Settlement until the 25th and I being constantly interrupted by fresh parties who were desirous to see the School &c I was under the necessity of omitting the Evening lesson for 4 Days. The rear departed from hence on the 25th. The whole consisted of about 30 Canoes and 800 men. There were parties from the River Thames, Cape Brett, Whycaddee, Whytange, Korrorahrekka, Te ouma, Tawhimatta, Tippoona and Mattoudee.
	The object of the Expedition was to obtain a peace between Shunghee and some Natives who were his enemies at the North Cape (to which place he was bound) either by fair means or else to vanquish them by force of Arms. Shunghee took with him the Head of one of his Enemies Chiefs’ who had been killed the preceding year, intending to present it to the surviving relatives if they would accept it, and in return give up to him the Head of a young Man who had fallen at the same time into their hands and was related to Shunghee. Shunghee told me that as soon as he advanced in sight of his enemies he should wave his Upper Garment and shew [f] them the Head of their friend. If upon this his enemies began to cry, there would be no battle. The Heads would be exchanged, presents mutually made to each other and peace be established. If on the other hand, the people at the North Cape should resist, or attempt to fly, the battle would commence immediately. Shunghee took an affectionate leave of us all here, told me that if he fell I was to be good to his children, and if I died he would take care of my family.
March 2nd returned part of Shunghees Navy. Interruptions.
4th Several scholars absent at the Funeral of a Chief who died yesterday.
5. returned Shunghee. He told me he had met with a great disappointment. As his people were at Whangaroa into which place they had put in to rest and refresh themselves, a quarrel had taken place between his party and a party of the Wangaroa Natives. Four of the latter had been shot, and one in return of those from the river Thames. He said he was afraid the Wangaroa People would come upon us in his Absence, he therefore had given up the expedition for the present. The Bodies of the [f] deceased natives were taken care of by their respective friends. The Bones of the young Man from the river Thames will be sent for from thence as soon as the flesh &c is wasted away. The Corpse is at the Bay of islands.
March 6. returned the Catherine, Captain Graham having taken 14 Whales producing about 50 Tons of oil near Saunder’s Island. None of the Female Scholars onboard— Sailed on the 29th.
March 12. My Colleague Mr King was mercifully preserved from drowning.
March 18 Several Scholars absent assisting their friends to take up the sweet potatoes.
March 16, 17, 18. The School House shut up on account of constant interruption by parties of Natives which had brought potatoes &c for Sale.
March 18th Arrived the King George from Port Jackson & sailed again on the 21st for Otaheite. No letters for us.
March 25. During the last five days confined by indisposition. Several scholars returned from the sweet Potatoe grounds to the School.
	The Chiefs Tapara, Tippoohee & their people at this Settlement with Potatoes for Sale. [f] In the course of the month several female Scholars absent in order to get their lips and chin marked in the New Zealand fashion by an artist from Wangaroa. Each of them had to pay for the tattooing. The Girls on their return from the Potatoe Grounds employed in the School in making their Clothing— From 16 March to April 4th I determined on account of constant Interruption, weariness and indisposition to rest and endeavour to recruit my spirits. I had not been able to form the children into classes, but had each of them to learn the same lesson daily. This was therefore a tedious work. If it shall please God to bless my endeavours, I shall, as soon as I can arrange the School to my satisfaction, be considerably relieved. But this I do not expect to be able to do until I am better acquainted with the New Zealand Language, and my books of instruction are more suitable to our purpose.
April 14. Several parties of Natives at the Settlement with Indian corn, Sweet potatoes &c. Omitted teaching the Children this day. [f] During the last six months the weather has been in general very fine. The past has been a much drier summer than the preceding one. There have not nevertheless been any disagreeable heats. I have known it as hot in Summer in England as I have felt it here. Latter end of this month several natives employed in clearing fresh Land for potatoes &c for the next year.
	I have been able to purchase this season plenty of potatoes for the School. I should think about 800 Baskets weighing upon an average 50 lb each. Two and three Baskets will serve the children one day so that reckoning 80 axes to purchase 800 Baskets which they would do, It can be nearly ascertained what the School will take to support it, in money for a year. Potatoes are preferable to any other articles for food for the children if they can be constantly procured.
	Since the Scholars have received their victuals regularly every day, some of the Grown up Natives [f] have requested to be admitted into the School and to say their lessons.  These I have refused, because their object was only to procure food, and lead an idle life. I always tell them, that I can admit none except children, or very young people into the School. The grown up people ought to work. I could never guide them, I can do better with the children.
	The Native Children amuse themselves with the Top in the Winter, and the Kite in the Summer. The latter is made in the form of an isosceles triangle, the two equal sides measuring together about 1/5 more than the base. They are fond of singing and dancing all the year round.
	When the different parties of Natives from Wangaroa and round this Bay last assembled there was a general Mourning for two days and two nights successively.
	. . . . . . {Indecipherable, rubbed out] Natives continued to rise up alternately during the whole time and sing a mournful song to the memory of their departed relatives. The Natives did not cry nor cut themselves as they usually do [f] when a person is recently dead. One of the Scholars was engaged in the above ceremony.
	Except when there are large parties of Natives at this place every thing goes on quietly both in the School and in the Settlement. The natives of the adjoining Village occasionally visit us by three or four at a time but they are seldom troublesome. We have large parties perhaps once in three or four months during the Summer. We have had none in the winter. Many more natives have visited us this last summer from different parts than during any preceding one. We are situated at such a great distance from the main Land that Natives do not yet come from thence in a body.
	In the potatoe seasons the neighbouring natives are constantly coming to us with their potatoes for sale. The female Scholars small and great have each finished An upper Garment and some have finished two. Two or three of the Boys are assisting my Colleague Mr King in dressing and spinning flax. The rest are busy in [f] making and flying their kites except when they are in [sic] making fences and procuring fire wood. We have no regular employment for them all.
