I was told by the missionaries that in the life of Shongi, the chief who visited England, the love of war was the one and lasting spring of every action. The tribe in which he was a principal chief, had at one time been much oppressed by another tribe, from the Thames River. A solemn oath was taken by the men, that when their boys should grow up, and they should be powerful enough, they would never forget or forgive these injuries. To fulfil this oath appears to have been Shongi's chief motive ...for going to England ; and when there it was his sole object. Presents were valued only as they could be converted into arms ; of the arts, those alone interested him which were 306 NEW ZEALAND. [CHAP. Xvin.
connected with the manufacture of arms. When at Sydney, Shongi, by a strange coincidence, met the hostile chief of the Thames River at the house of Mr. Marsden ; their conduct was civil to each other ; but Shongi told him that when again in New Zealand he would never cease to carry war into his country.
