- Summary
- "Southward ho! is not meant to be a detailed history of the sale and development of the Otago block ... it is simply an account of the Deborah and her coastal "knocking out" (Tuckett's phrase), the people on board, and the sights they saw-- a glimpse of life along the east coast of the Middle Island in 1844. ... The reader will make, or renew, the acquaintance of such persons as Captain Wing and his wife Lucy; the missionaires Watkin, Creed and Wohlers; the touchy surveyor Tuckett and his bemused and long-suffering Maori companions; the fastidious government official Symonds, sent down to see fair play; the chiefs Tuhawaiki and "Tyroar"--..."--Dust jacket.
