THE MURDER OF A MISSIONARY BY THE MAORIS IN NEW ZEALAND: SCENE OF THE MURDER OF REV. VOLKNER, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The murder of a missionary by the Maoris in New Zealand: scene of the murder of Rev. Volkner, 1865. 'The war of races which has been going on for two or three years past...does not seem likely to arrive at a speedy termination... The hideous superstition now prevailing, which takes the name of the "Pai Marire" from the Virgin Mary, of whom they [ie the Maori] have heard from a French Catholic missionary...is held to sanctify the commission of any crime or offence...the Maoris had all taken an oath the day before to kill every minister or soldier who came there...They then told [Mr Volkner the German missionary] that they were going to kill him. He stopped near the church and asked them to allow him five minutes for prayer, which they did...Whilst he was praying they sent and took a block and strop from the vessel, which they made fast to the topmost branches of a large willow-tree, about 200 yards from the church. There were now about 800 natives on the ground, who at once marched him under the tree...The poor fellow commenced shaking hands with many of them while they were tying his neckerchief over his eyes; and he even had hold of some of their hands whilst they were hauling him to the fatal branch'.

The murder of a missionary by the Maoris in New Zealand: Captain Levy, master of the...Eclipse, 1865. 'The hideous superstition now prevailing, which takes the name of the "Pai Marire" from the Virgin Mary, of whom they [the Maori] have heard from a French Catholic missionary...is held to sanctify the commission of any crime or offence...Prompted by this deadly fanaticism, the natives...committed a horrible crime at Opotiki...the Maoris, being in irresistible force, ordered Captain [Morris] Levy, with his crew and passengers, to come out of the vessel. As soon as they did so, the Maoris seized Mr. Volkner and Mr. Grace, and began to tie them up...but desisted from this when Captain Levy interfered. The two reverend gentlemen, however, with four sailors, the crew of the schooner, were shut up in a...hut, guarded by twenty Maoris...Captain Levy and Mr. Samuel Levy were not personally molested, because, as the Maoris observed, they were Jews...In the morning Captain Levy and Mr. S. Levy were told that the two missionaries would be shot. Captain Levy in vain remonstrated and begged the Maoris to refrain from this bloody act. In order to purchase the lives of his two passengers, he gave up the vessel and its cargo...to be plundered by the Maoris'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

But another party...presently came...and...asked for Mr. Volkner...The unfortunate gentleman eagerly ran out, thinking for a moment that he was about to be set free...They then told him that they were going to kill him. He stopped near the church and asked them to allow him five minutes for prayer...There were now about 800 natives on the ground, who at once marched him under the tree...

'The war of races which has been going on for two or three years past in several provinces of the northern island...does not seem likely to arrive at a speedy termination...While General Cameron has failed to make any sure progress in the campaign which was to have cleared the country between Wellington and Taranaki, other districts, especially in the neighbourhood of Auckland, have been disturbed by the revolt of a large number of the Maori population, who seem to have relapsed into worse than their original savagery...The hideous superstition now prevailing, which takes the name of the "Pai Marire" from the Virgin Mary, of whom they have heard from a French Catholic missionary lately amongst them, is held to sanctify the commission of any crime or offence...Prompted by this deadly fanaticism, the natives have committed a horrible crime at Opotiki...The victim was a missionary clergyman, the Rev.

FIGHT AT WAIARI, ON THE MANGAPIKO RIVER, NEW ZEALAND, ON THE 11TH OF FEBRUARY, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Fight at Waiari, on the Mangapiko River, New Zealand, on the 11th of February, 1864. 'It seems that...some of our soldiers went into the river to bathe, and were suddenly fired upon by the Maoris, who lay in ambush on the opposite bank. The covering party...immediately replied to the enemy's fire, while the bathers got out and dressed themselves as quickly as they could. The Maoris now slowly retired towards the old fortifications on the neck of the peninsula...Captain Fisher discovered a bridge over the river...[and crossing it,] came full upon the retiring ambuscade party of the enemy...[who] had no way of escape; some hid themselves in the scrub...others attempted to swim the river, but were shot down...The enemy were chiefly of the Ngatimaniapoto tribe...the most awful yells and Maori imprecations were heard, mingled with discharges of muskets and the quick popping of revolvers. In ten minutes, the Rangers appeared on the parapet carrying up five Maori bodies, and two Maoris wounded...Night fell; the wounded and dead, six of the former and five of the latter, were carried into camp, with ten Maori corpses and three wounded; six more Maori bodies were left on the path and seven in the river...forty eight were killed or mortally wounded'.

THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND: THE GUN-BOAT PIONEER AT ANCHOR OFF MEREMERE, ON THE WAIKATO RIVER..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The War in New Zealand: the gun-boat Pioneer at anchor off Meremere, on the Waikato River, reconnoitring the native position, 1864. Engraving of a sketch by '...Mr. Messer, assistant surgeon of the Curoçoa...General Cameron has succeeded...in forcing the Maoris out of their chosen post of vantage...The arrival of the Pioneer, an iron steamer built at Sydney, enabled him to ascend the stream and more thoroughly to survey the position...A cloud of white smoke burst from the bank at the landing. The Maoris had fired their lower gun...Another puff of smoke sprung up...the shot fell miserably short, endangering their own people more than those in the steamer...The gun at the landing belched out again, and a jet of water spouted up alongside the gun-boat. She was at last hit...The appearance of the steamer-as she lay for half an hour quietly reconnoitring the position, without deigning to fire a shot or to return the Maori cannonade-was grand, and suggestive of the idea of the overpowering strength of science when in contact with barbarism...taking to their canoes, the Maoris rowed away...General Cameron embarked 250 men in the Pioneer, and hurried to Meremere. He found that the enemy had departed, and at once occupied the position'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
