American inhabitant of tha ialand was
ahowing a younr AuatralUn around

It aa the beat aurf bathing beach in

sat at a table where two strangers to
us a New Zealander and a Californian
were discussing the prospects of a
war between the United States and an
other Pacific power. They were discuss

different angrles, and the New Zea

United States could not hold ita armies

In tha Taranakl war they aent food

begged them most courteously to come
out and fight In tha open. In the Wal
kato war they outflanked the Engliah
forces and cut off communications, but
escorted the convoys of supplies Into
the British camps themselves. Lord
Pembroke (their governor) asked one of
the chiefs why they did this. "How
could you fight if you had so food?"
waa tha naive reply. They hate tha
rifle and tha only fighting they ap
prove of la "hand-to-hand." In this
