DEATH OF A GREAT CHIEF.
A few days after our return to Hokianga we received intelligence that ARowa, the father of Mooetara, and the eldest chief in the district, wasdead. These deaths, when they occur among men of rank, are generallyaccompanied by some horrible scenes of butchery among their slaves--acommon custom among all savages, but practised here (I was informed) withpeculiar cruelty. We went on shore to witness the ceremony of A Rowa'slying in state, hoping at the same time that our pres...ence might inducethem to dispense with some of those barbarous cruelties which generallyaccompany their funeral rites. We had, indeed, every reason to think wehad conjectured rightly, for nothing of the kind took place; which wasconsidered by all as a circumstance somewhat remarkable. A greatconcourse of savages had assembled all round the village of the deceasedchief, and there was a tremendous firing of muskets, but no particularmarks of grief. I spoke to Mooetara, and requested, as a favour, if itwere not breaking through their established rules, that he would conductme to the body of his father.
