Additional Comments:
This piece was according to fn.2 p. 158 in source text, subsequently reprinted in "Thirteen Stories" (1900), and is presumably a fictionalised sketch, based on travel experiences. It 'reports a conversation with a neighbour about the old days of territorial plunder in New Zealand. '
