LIFE IN THE CHATHAM ISLANDS.—Photographs taken during a recent visit to the Chatham Islands. TOP: Flesh and blood horsepower is needed to cope with the mud roads in the winter and spring. This dray on the beach at Waitangi, the principal settlement, is no bigger than similar vehicles drawn by one horse in New Zealand, but even with the team shown it could not pass over some parts of the road. BOTTOM: Double-banking is the normal way for mother and child to go visiting, though most of the children learn to ride soon after they can walk. Everybody in the Chathams can ride a horse, for a very small portion of the goads can be used by the eight motor-cars owned by the islanders.
