This drawing, by missionary Richard Taylor, shows the feast to celebrate the third treaty-signing ceremony, at the Mangungu mission house, south Hokianga. The feast, on 13 February 1840, was held on the property of the shipbuilder Thomas McDonnell at nearby Hōreke. Cannon protect the harbour, in which many waka can be seen. A large crowd is gathered at left, under several Union Jack flags.
