SPARS FROM HOKIANGA
Sir,-I read Mr. Ross's letter with interest, but it is unfortunate that he can quote only somewhat vaguely and from memory his authority for the statement that the Victory was masted with kauri spars. It would be. helpful if he could mention his authority for the statement that spars were loaded on to the Coromandel in the Hauraki Gulf in 1804-6, McNab makes no mention of this vessel in his From Tasman to Marsden, The same historian’s Historical Records of New Zealand, Vol, I, pp. 495-6, and Marsden’s Letters and Journals, p. 251 et seq., appear to indicate that when the
Coromandel: was taken down to the Hautaki Gulf in 1820, the object was to "search" for kauri spars, There would seem to be no record of a previous visit to the Coromandel Harbour by this; or, so far as I know, any other European
vessel,
