Accompanied by one of the boys, I went overland to the place this inornhu'f and found Ihc icmains of a man suspended by the neck with a strong flax rope, from a largo karaka tree. The scalp and a consideiabie portion of the licsh has disap peared, so that the body must have been there for months. A dark cloth sac coat, bluo cloth vest, and a pith helmet bat were lying near to the root of Ihc tree. The other clothing con sists of dark coloured cloth trousers, and a Scotch striped shirt, with another cotton one underneath. A small portion of dark brown beard is adhering to tho chin. The hcther limbs were detached from the trunk, thu arms and upper portion of tho body being nlonc suspended. 1 fotmd no papers. I could not bring tho body overland, but will proceed at onco to the place by boat, nnd remove tho remains to Onelntnga."
