On July 28, 1881, Mrs. Haines arrived in the Waitemata with her husband, Mr. T. S. Haines, who, afterwards became a well-known builder in the growing city. They came out in a little vessel called the' Broadwater, only 800 tons, commanded by Captain Stockwell. Asked how she came to hear of . New Zealand, Mrs. Haines (who is now 04 years of age) mentions a name that takes us still further back, and it gives you a start to think that we have a living link with such memories. “When I was living in Birmingham as a girl,” says Mrs. Haines, “I used to go to the baker’s for bread, and his name was Marsden, brother of Samuel Marsden, the missionary, who came to New Zealand. Often Mrs. Marsden used to tell jus about what her son had seen -and ' dwue in New Zealand.”
