Samuel Marsden - Pioneer and Peacemaker #246320

Always Marsden was watching for an opportunity to plant a mission station among the New Zealand canni bals. In 1807 he visited England, and there made enquiries for suitable people to help him to carry out his plans. Once he made a long journey from Hull, on the outside Of a coach, in a heavy snowstorm, for the joy of securing a volunteer — John King — to go out at Marsden's expense to teach the New Zealanders the art of rope-making.
