hongi

Hongi was chiefly impressed by the bishop's wig, which he thought must be emblematic of wisdom.

In 1819 the rev. gentleman bought his settlement at Kerikeri from Hongi Hika, the price being forty-eight axes.

As Turi could not write, Hongi made the ingenious suggestion that his moko, or face-tattoo, should be copied on the deed.

Now, poor Arawa, you will find out to your cost how Hongi is coming to Mokoia!
