The

night

passed

pleasantly

with

the

exception

of

the

attack

of

the

sand-flies

,

called

by

the

natives

,

"

ngamu

,

"

and

the

visit

of

the

audacious

family

of

rats

,

who

exercised

their

teeth

on

the

provisions

.

Next

day

,

on

the

8th

of

February

,

Paganel

rose

more

sanguine

,

and

almost

reconciled

to

the

country

.

The

Maories

,

whom

he

particularly

dreaded

,

had

not

yet

appeared

,

and

these

ferocious

cannibals

had

not

molested

him

even

in

his

dreams

.

"

I

begin

to

think

that

our

little

journey

will

end

favorably

.

This

evening

we

shall

reach

the

confluence

of

the

Waipa

and

Waikato

,

and

after

that

there

is

not

much

chance

of

meeting

natives

on

the

way

to

Auckland

.

How

far

is

it

now

,

"

said

Glenarvan

,

"

to

the

confluence

of

the

Waipa

and

Waikato

?

"

"

Fifteen

miles

;

just

about

what

we

did

yesterday

.

"

"

But

we

shall

be

terribly

delayed

if

this

interminable

scrub

continues

to

obstruct

our

path

.

"

"

No

,

"

said

Paganel

,

"

we

shall

follow

the

banks

of

the

Waipa

,

and

then

we

shall

have

no

obstacle

,

but

on

the

contrary

,

a

very

easy

road

.

"

Well

,

then

,

"

said

Glenarvan

,

seeing

the

ladies

ready

,

"

let

us

make

a

start

.

"

During

the

early

part

of

the

day

,

the

thick

brushwood

seriously

impeded

their

progress

.

Neither

wagon

nor

horses

could

have

passed

where

travelers

passed

,

so

that

their

Australian

vehicle

was

but

slightly

regretted

.

Until

practicable

wagon

roads

are

cut

through

these

forests

of

scrub

,

New

Zealand

will

only

be

accessible

to

foot

passengers

.

The

ferns

,

whose

name

is

legion

,

concur

with

the

Maories

in

keeping

strangers

off

the

lands

.

The

little

party

overcame

many

obstacles

in

crossing

the

plains

in

which

the

Hakarihoata

Ranges

rise

.

But

before

noon

they

reached

the

banks

of

the

Waipa

,

and

followed

the

northward

course

of

the

river

.
