342 -ACCOUNT OF THE ENGLISH COLONY [October, 



Tco-gee Te-ter-re-nu-e Warri-pe-do is of the fame age as Hoo- 

 doo; but about three inches fhorter ; "he is ftout and well made, and, 

 like Hoo-doo, of an olive complexion, with ftrong black hair. Both 

 are tattowed on the hips. Too-gee's features arc rather handfome 

 and intere'fting; his nofe is aquiline, and he has good teeth. He is a 

 native of the diftridfc of Ho-do-doe, (which is in Doubtlefs Bay,) of 

 which diftrid: Too-gee's father is the Etang-a-roah, or high prieft ; 

 and to that office the fon fucceeds on his father's death. Befide his 

 father, who is a very old man, he had left a wife and child ; about all 

 of whom he was very anxious and uneafy, as well as about the 

 chief, (Moo-de-wy,) whom he reprefented as a very worthy character. 

 Too-gee had a decided preference to Hoo-doo, both in difpofition 

 and manners; although the latter was not wanting in a certain degree 

 of good nature, but he could at times be very much of the favage. 

 Hoo-doo, like a true patriot, thinks there is no country, people, nor 

 •cuftoms, equal to his own ; on which account he was much lefs cu- 

 rious as to what he faw about him than his companion Too-gee, 

 who has the happy art of infmuating himfelf into every perfon's 

 efteem. Except at times, when he was lamenting the abfence of his 

 family and friends, he was ch earful, often facetious, and very intelligent. 



At the time they were taken from New Zealand, Too-gee was on 

 a vifit to Hoo-doo ; and the mode of their capture was thus related 

 by them. The Daedalus appeared in fight of Hoo-doo's habitation. 

 Curiofity, and the hope of getting fome iron, induced Povoreek a 

 chief, Too-gee, and Hoo-doo, with his brother and one of his wives 

 and the prieft, to approach her ; and after fome time, being joined by 

 feveral other canoes, that in which were Too-gee and Hoo-doo 

 ventured alongfide. Lieutenant Hanfon (ofwhofe kindnefs they fpeak 

 in the higheft terms) invited them on board; and, contrary to the 

 advice of their friends, they complied with his invitation, when, to 

 ufe their own expreffion, they were blinded by the curious things 

 that they faw, and prevailed on to go below, where they ate fome 

 meat. At this time the fhip made fail. One of them faw the canoes 



aftern ;
