A NEW ZEALAND CHIEF. 71

 

Wuo is this fierce-looking man? A New Zea-
lander. He has got all sorts of strange patterns
traced out on his skin; that is, he is tattooed.
He has tried to make himself as ugly as possible ;
but he thinks himself very beautiful. New Zea-
landers used to be cannibals; but they are not
so now. Many of them are Christians ; and some
of them keep the Sabbath even more strictly than
we do in some parts of Great Britain, putting
away their pretty flaxen mats and bags, and all
their weck-day work, till the Monday.
