Old New Zealand: A Tale of the Good Old Times - And a History of the War in the North against the Chief Heke, in the Year 1845

To all it is respectfully presented. (p. 183) HISTORY OF THE WAR IN THE NORTH OF NEW ZEALAND AGAINST THE CHIEF HEKE.

After I am gone, be kind to the missionaries, be kind also to the other Europeans; welcome them to the shore, trade with them, protect them, and live with them as one people; but if ever there should land on this shore a people who wear red garments, who do no work, who neither buy nor sell, and who always have arms in their hands, then be aware that these are a people called soldiers, a dangerous people, whose only occupation is war. When you see them, make war (p. 184) against them. Then, O my children, be brave! then, O friends, be strong!
