EARLY AUCKLAND.
A RESIDENT?S IMPRESSIONS. DAYS OF THE PIONEERS. Arriving in New Zealand on one of the first immigrant ships to leave Scotland, ~ My Thomas KilUour, who resides at Fenton-Street, Thames,, is still hale and hearty notwithstanding 1 his 82 years, and he has many interesting tales to tell of the early days of New Zealand. Visitjng him at his home yesterday, a | Star reporter' found that Mr Killgour could throw his memory -'hack many years, even to the time - when he used to pick gorse and ti-tree from Queen Street. Auckland! and play about amongst the tents that abounded in Auckland at that time A Mr Killgour left Scotland in 1842 ifi the sailing ship Jane Gifford, a trir) fraught with 1 much danger, and many hardships in those days when sailing vessels'had not, reached the state of perfection they haye ? today, and when steam and its uses were hardly knowh commercially. After a trip lasting four months the Jane Gifford nosed her way into Auckland harbour a few hours before the,'Duchess of Arg.yle, which had left' Scotland a fe.tv weeks earlier, reached the northern port. Mr Killgour was, then but two years of age. His earliest recollection of Auckland was a few rude huts, and more tents, while Queen- Street was not a formed road. It possessed but a few sheds, where now stand build-, ings'that rival the finest in Australasia. V ; , ? . 'Leaving Auckland while yet Mr Kiligour j proceeded with his par- | ents to Huia, hear the Manukau,--where he was engaged in the timber trade with his father. The advent of the, Maori War saw Mr Killgour busilv engaged in drilling, but he took no active part in the fighting, being engaged bv the Government in carrying food and provisions^on.his /boat to' Drury, where. most of the reserves were -stationed. .. . . 1 Upon ?the cessation of 'hostilities Mr. Killgour came to*Thames and was here the second year after the Thames 7goldfield was opened. ŒAt that time Thames presented rather a desolate picture, being but tents, with an occasional ? wooden shed. There were no roads, and all t|*ansporj had to be done per medium of pack horses. While here Mr Killgour secured the contract for five million feet of timber from' the Kauaeranga, and was engaged upon this work for some considerable time. ? ?(And how did prices in those, days compare with the prices ruling today?? Mr Killgour was asked. ?Well, I used to pay my. skilled bushmen 18s and £1 per week,? he replied. Continuing Mr Killgour stated that'hoard, and residence in those days was much cheaper than -the prices to-day, while food stuffs were also cheaper. Board and residence, the best to he obtained? in those days, cost £1 a ,week, although -the buildings were not very pretentious. While 'engaged in the timber industry Mr Killgour had often to cross the Kauaeranga seven times_ to o-et to his work owing to the winding state of the river. Œ He commented upon'the fact that the river appeared to be changing its,course, and was rapidly eating into the land at the lower end. . The main difficulty in those early clays, continued Mr Killgour, lack of means of transport, Mr Killgour had his wife living at Tapu at the time he was engaged at the Kauapranga, and the only means _of access to Tapu was by means of a vessel,/ or a tramp along the beach when ,the tide was out, for there was no Coast Road, and pack horsesmeant a long journey up and down, the hills. At the time the mining was on, there were many who were lured to Thames with visions of sudden wealth to he .gleaned by a day?s work,f)md many unskilled men found themselves in difficulties. Many offered to work for Mr Killgour for their board and lodging only. There were many men engaged in the kauri gum digging and thev 'used to. bring their gum /down into Thames on pack horses. Mr Killgour who is 82 years of age, married Miss Rilev of Auckland and had eieht children,, seven of whom are still living, some being ? engaged in pastoral pursuits. Mr and Mrs Killgour celebrated' their diamond wedding this year. ; ,*
