Hi -
Yes, a bit weather report-ish. I'm not sure that his assertion that the climate is basically similar to windy Wellington would go down very well today.
Anyway, Chapter X

Hi -
Here is Chapter XI.
There is a big ugly table at the end. It's set out quite awkwardly. I've tried to do my best but suggestions to improve clarity are appreciated. The wise listener would skip it....

Tallish buildings, wind on most days and good coffee. Yes, a good place to visit.
Cheers

I did a blooper but caught it. "Balsamic lava". I had to listen a couple of times to see if I was hearing it right.
Cheers - hope it isn't too cold or windy.

Hi -
Chapter XIII is uploaded.

The MW isn't playing nice right now and won't let me save the contents of the Notes box. I can fill in the time etc. data later.
With regard to Maori and slaves, when I read your question, I knew that there were slaves in Maoridom, but whether common or another of those things that has been exaggerated by history I didn't know. So, I hit the internet and found a book - Outcasts of the Gods? - by Hazel Petrie, published in 2015 by University of Auckland. I found a google books version that let me read the full Introduction for free. It was interesting and well written while being properly academic, and at least partly answers your question, so I recommend it if you have the time.
Otherwise, a short answer is that they were war captives, and the prevalence depended on time and place.
Cheers, and thanks for listening. (I didn't try to sing the waiata - song)

Jules Verne - in search of the Castaways - who did do quite a bit of research I know, but did have herds of cassowary's bounding across the Australian plains so I'm not saying he was always right, said that when a tribe was defeated, they became slaves, same as in sub saharan Africa
For my information, how many syllables in Maori? I've always said something like

Hi Anne -
"Mow ree" is closest to the correct pronunciation, but the sound is a bit rounder than "cow". Have a listen to the first seconds of the uppermost audio at this link: http://www.maorilanguage.net/speak-maori/. Definitely not may-or-ree.

I'm guessing that the news of those badly behaved British tourists made it to Chicago? Imagine raising children with such values!
