Miss Kelly, Miss Hart, Miss Redish and myself were in the other. We took provisions with us, and beds in case we should not be able to get them. We spent a very pleasant day about three miles from Porirua. We got up a fire in the bush and had dinner. We then started again and arrived at Pahatanui about seven. We went to Bolton's where we found we could get accommodation. We had not been long there before the mosquitoes began to torment us and as it got dark they increased in number. At last we thought that if they continued to tease us the way they did we would not be able to get any sleep and we soon found this was the case. Poor Mama suffered more than us all for their bites made her face swell so much. They only attacked long hands and feet.
