"Among the crew was a Maori boy named Duaterra, whose father was a great chief in New Zealand.

The Captain, for some offense, ordered this boy to be flogged, and Duaterra could not forgive the indignity.

He planned a terrible revenge.

When they reached New Zealand he persuaded the Captain and crew to land in his father's territory; then, summoning his savage friends he ordered a general massacre and killed them all, saving only Robert and little Mary.

Robert had been good to him and had given him tobacco, and Duaterra adored Mary, and called her his Mocking Bird.
