“When we caught a young wild pig in the early days and wanted to tame him, we smoked him,” said an old Wanganui resident to a “Herald" reporter. “I don’t mean lo say that we turned him into bacon and then smoked him,” lie added. A lire was lit of fern, etc., mid 1 lie young pig held up by the bind legs over I lie smoke. This had ibc cl'feel of taming it, and it would follow a settler about like a dog. A -eltier ai Makirikiri used to catch weaners in large numbers and after applying the smoke lest fed them for a while on small potatoes. He would then load up a canoe with nliout 40 and bring them to Market Place for sale. Before leaving Inline he gave the pigs a drink containing a mixture of brine. The young “Captain Cooks” were naturally very thirsty when they reached Wanganui and on being let out of the canoe blew themselves up like footballs with water from the river and, to prospective buyers, looked nice and plump and naturally brought good prices.
