The locking up of the country round about Kawhia harbor is the solo reason why it has not become a busy port long ago, or rather why the busy days of sixty yeara ago, when it exported wheat by schooner and brig aa far as Sydney, have not been revived (says the Lyttelton Times). As far as steam trade is concerned, it has made little progress since a pioneer steamer, the little Hannah Mokau, created astonishment among the King-ite natives by anchoring off their township well up Kawhia on° morning, A steamer wa3 a wonderf Jl sight in Kawhia in those days, though it was as recently as 1880, and" the sailor who was the Hannah Mokau's captain relates that he celebrated the event by giving a dinner on board to King la'whiao and his leading chiefs, and that Hie tattoed monarch of the Rohepotae attended wearing an old grey belltopper, a red hunting-coat and a waist-shawl—-his best visiting costume. That was U.e beginning of Knwhia's steam traffic. Now there are prospects that within a few years ocean liners will bc*?afely berthed there loading for the Old Land, and another port of clearance foreign wi!l be added to Sew Zealand's list.
