WALLACE IN NEW ZEALAND
Sir,-I have been very interested in the question in The Listener of September 13, whether Wallace, the composer, ever visited New Zealand. I can definitely say that he did in about the year 1847. My grandmother and grandfather travelled to Auckland from Sydney in the same sailing ship as he did and said that he was composing all the way across the Tasman, and my grandmother was told that Wallace completed the composition of " Maritana" going round the coast of New Zealand. My grandmother was particularly interested in music, being herself a performer on both the piano and harp which she had brought out from Ireland.
