SPARS FROM HOKIANGA
Sir,-I agree with Mr. W. Hugh Ross that H.M.S. Victory was sparred with New Zealand kauri, .I believe there were Europeans at the Bay of Islands.when Captain Cook came here. Captain Trevatthen, of the brig Splendid, which sailed from England, 1795, reported in his log taking a Maori off a whaler in the South Atlantic. The Captain of this whaler induced Captain Trevarthen to come to New Zealand. The Splendid called/in at the Bay of Islands, Many Europeans were there, gnd whaling vessels. The whale oil was taken to Sydney and sold there. The Splendid was wrecked in the Chatham Islands in 1798. -_
