SAMUEL MARSDEN'S ARRIVAL.
To the Editor, "The Listener" Sir,-I noticed in The Listener of February 9, 1940, an article written by the Rev. Dr. Walsh claiming that the Rev. Samuel Marsden was brought to New Zealand by a Captain Peter Dillon. This is incorrect. The Rev. Samuel Marsden was brought to Oihi, Bay of Islands, in December, 1814, by Captain Hansen on the brig " Active." Mr. Marsden preached the first Christian sermon at Oihi on December 25, 1814, where the Marsden Cross stands at the present time. I am a great-grand-daughter of Captain Hansen, and can, if necessary, supply proof of the above statement, Yours, etce.,
C.
