What
are
you
going
to
do
with
us
?
"
pursued
Glenarvan
.
A
sudden
gleam
flashed
into
the
eyes
of
Kai-Koumou
,
and
he
said
in
a
deep
voice
:
"
Exchange
you
,
if
your
own
people
care
to
have
you
;
eat
you
if
they
do
n't
.
"
Glenarvan
asked
no
further
questions
;
but
hope
revived
in
his
heart
.
He
concluded
that
some
Maori
chiefs
had
fallen
into
the
hands
of
the
English
,
and
that
the
natives
would
try
to
get
them
exchanged
.
So
they
had
a
chance
of
salvation
,
and
the
case
was
not
quite
so
desperate
.
The
canoe
was
speeding
rapidly
up
the
river
.
Paganel
,
whose
excitable
temperament
always
rebounded
from
one
extreme
to
the
other
,
had
quite
regained
his
spirits
.
He
consoled
himself
that
the
natives
were
saving
them
the
trouble
of
the
journey
to
the
English
outposts
,
and
that
was
so
much
gain
.
So
he
took
it
quite
quietly
and
followed
on
the
map
the
course
of
the
Waikato
across
the
plains
and
valleys
of
the
province
.
Lady
Helena
and
Mary
Grant
,
concealing
their
alarm
,
conversed
in
a
low
voice
with
Glenarvan
,
and
the
keenest
physiognomists
would
have
failed
to
see
any
anxiety
in
their
faces
.
The
Waikato
is
the
national
river
in
New
Zealand
.
It
is
to
the
Maories
what
the
Rhine
is
to
the
Germans
,
and
the
Danube
to
the
Slavs
.
In
its
course
of
200
miles
it
waters
the
finest
lands
of
the
North
Island
,
from
the
province
of
Wellington
to
the
province
of
Auckland
.
It
gave
its
name
to
all
those
indomitable
tribes
of
the
river
district
,
which
rose
en
masse
against
the
invaders
.
The
waters
of
this
river
are
still
almost
strangers
to
any
craft
but
the
native
canoe
.
The
most
audacious
tourist
will
scarcely
venture
to
invade
these
sacred
shores
;
in
fact
,
the
Upper
Waikato
is
sealed
against
profane
Europeans
.
Paganel
was
aware
of
the
feelings
of
veneration
with
which
the
natives
regard
this
great
arterial
stream
He
knew
that
the
English
and
German
naturalists
had
never
penetrated
further
than
its
junction
with
the
Waipa
.
He
wondered
how
far
the
good
pleasure
of
Kai-Koumou
would
carry
his
captives
?
He
could
not
have
guessed
,
but
for
hearing
the
word
"
Taupo
"
repeatedly
uttered
between
the
chief
and
his
warriors
.
He
consulted
his
map
and
saw
that
"
Taupo
"
was
the
name
of
a
lake
celebrated
in
geographical
annals
,
and
lying
in
the
most
mountainous
part
of
the
island
,
at
the
southern
extremity
of
Auckland
province
.
The
Waikato
passes
through
this
lake
and
then
flows
on
for
120
miles
.
