"The Rakaia arrived in Auckland from London on 
Wednesday, after a smart passage from land to 
land. She brings a large number of passengers, 
a considerable proportion of whom come with 
well-lined pockets. Some proceed to Mr G V 
Stewart's Te Puke settlement, whilst others 
intend seeking suitable land to commence 
farming operations".
