Chap. V. HOUSES FOR TRAVELLERS. M3 
accommodation for travellers at TVaikanae and Te 
Uruhi, and Toms had built a new wooden house as 
an hotel at Parramatta Point at Porirua. The bridle- 
road had been completed for some time ; the bridges 
were repaired and the trees removed ; and I walked 
easily in three hours and a half from the head of 
Porirua harbour to Wellington, where I arrived about 
the first week in March.
