Indeed we are right in the line of such a discovery, for the Bay of Islands mine is but a short distance from us on the other coast. In Moeatua, one of the creeks running down to the sea, 52 I found the remains of a French frigate which was wrecked there in early times. Nothing now is left but a few heavy spars and such iron rings as the Maories could not carry away. They say that Parore, one of our landlords, secured about sixty tons of gunpowder from the wreck, and has it stowed away safely i...n some remote corner. But I must get back to our mill, and give a succinct his- torical account of it alone, for if I wander off into details of other things the world itself would not contain them all. Before my arrival, T - had gone up with a couple of men to select a site, and clear the river of snags. They began with a series of mishaps. The first morning when they woke, they found the blankets covered with large white patches, which at first sight they thought were the drippings from their candle, but on closer examination and touch they dis- covered, to their intense disgust, that the whole surface was a crawling mass of maggots, which the noisy blow-flies had deposited there during the night.
