A beach. 153 Of late years they have marvellously decreased in numbers ; Maori gum diggers, the crews of coasting- vessels, and the bushmen residing on the island having mostly brought about this result. Arrived at the sea-shore, we rambled on for some miles, amusing ourselves by picking up bits of sponge and shells. The latter are only very poor in New Zealand, and not worth collecting for orna- mental purposes. At the high-water mark of spring tides there was in places much drift wood and wre...ck, and we found several corked bottles, though in no case did we light upon one containing any paper. However, at the mouth of a small creek we found a ship's boat, apparently not much damaged by its voyage from "somewhere, " and we thought, after due examination, that it might be worth our while to come with our boat and tow her round to Tryphena, where, as Seth justly remarked of this piece of flotsum and jetsum, we might possibly be able to sell her to the natives who, frequently, when on a voyage, resorted to that harbour for shelter.
