Each
one
of
them
was
lost
in
his
own
reflections
.
Words
were
few
.
Now
and
then
Lady
Helena
and
Miss
Grant
exchanged
a
few
syllables
.
Glenarvan
was
restless
;
he
went
in
and
out
,
while
the
Major
was
impassive
.
John
Mangles
,
followed
by
Robert
,
went
on
the
poop
from
time
to
time
,
to
look
at
the
weather
.
Paganel
sat
in
his
corner
,
muttering
vague
and
incoherent
words
.
What
was
the
worthy
geographer
thinking
of
?
Of
New
Zealand
,
the
country
to
which
destiny
was
leading
him
.
He
went
mentally
over
all
his
history
;
he
called
to
mind
the
scenes
of
the
past
in
that
ill-omened
country
.
But
in
all
that
history
was
there
a
fact
,
was
there
a
solitary
incident
that
could
justify
the
discoverers
of
these
islands
in
considering
them
as
"
a
continent
.
"
Could
a
modern
geographer
or
a
sailor
concede
to
them
such
a
designation
.
Paganel
was
always
revolving
the
meaning
of
the
document
.
He
was
possessed
with
the
idea
;
it
became
his
ruling
thought
.
After
Patagonia
,
after
Australia
,
his
imagination
,
allured
by
a
name
,
flew
to
New
Zealand
.
But
in
that
direction
,
one
point
,
and
only
one
,
stood
in
his
way
.
"
Contin
--
contin
,
"
he
repeated
,
"
that
must
mean
continent
!
"
And
then
he
resumed
his
mental
retrospect
of
the
navigators
who
made
known
to
us
these
two
great
islands
of
the
Southern
Sea
.
It
was
on
the
13th
of
December
,
1642
,
that
the
Dutch
navigator
Tasman
,
after
discovering
Van
Diemen
's
Land
,
sighted
the
unknown
shores
of
New
Zealand
.
He
coasted
along
for
several
days
,
and
on
the
17th
of
December
his
ships
penetrated
into
a
large
bay
,
which
,
terminating
in
a
narrow
strait
,
separated
the
two
islands
.
The
northern
island
was
called
by
the
natives
Ikana-Mani
,
a
word
which
signifies
the
fish
of
Mani
.
The
southern
island
was
called
Tavai-Pouna-Mou
,
"
the
whale
that
yields
the
green-stones
.
"
Abel
Tasman
sent
his
boats
on
shore
,
and
they
returned
accompanied
by
two
canoes
and
a
noisy
company
of
natives
.
These
savages
were
middle
height
,
of
brown
or
yellow
complexion
,
angular
bones
,
harsh
voices
,
and
black
hair
,
which
was
dressed
in
the
Japanese
manner
,
and
surmounted
by
a
tall
white
feather
.
This
first
interview
between
Europeans
and
aborigines
seemed
to
promise
amicable
and
lasting
intercourse
.
But
the
next
day
,
when
one
of
Tasman
's
boats
was
looking
for
an
anchorage
nearer
to
the
land
,
seven
canoes
,
manned
by
a
great
number
of
natives
,
attacked
them
fiercely
.
The
boat
capsized
and
filled
.
The
quartermaster
in
command
was
instantly
struck
with
a
badly-sharpened
spear
,
and
fell
into
the
sea
.
Of
his
six
companions
four
were
killed
;
the
other
two
and
the
quartermaster
were
able
to
swim
to
the
ships
,
and
were
picked
up
and
recovered
After
this
sad
occurrence
Tasman
set
sail
,
confining
his
revenge
to
giving
the
natives
a
few
musket-shots
,
which
probably
did
not
reach
them
.
He
left
this
bay
--
which
still
bears
the
name
of
Massacre
Bay
--
followed
the
western
coast
,
and
on
the
5th
of
January
,
anchored
near
the
northern-most
point
.
Here
the
violence
of
the
surf
,
as
well
as
the
unfriendly
attitude
of
the
natives
,
prevented
his
obtaining
water
,
and
he
finally
quitted
these
shores
,
giving
them
the
name
Staten-land
or
the
Land
of
the
States
,
in
honor
of
the
States-General
.
