EARLY HISTORY RECALLED. At the advanced age of 100 years Mrs Nathaniel Bates recently passed peacefully away at the residence of her daughter, Mrs A. Dandy, at Colac Bay. The deceased lady, who was born at Codfish Island in 1822 (states the Western Star), was one of the Ngatihui Huirapa tribe, and is one of the last of that race. Her mother died when she was quite a child, and she then went to sea with her father, who was a whaler, and had many trying experiences in those days. When her father?s boat left for England she was given in charge of the lighthouse keeper at Otago Heads. While there she witnessed the landing of the then famous trader, ?Johnny? Jones, from Australia. She was then 14 years of age, and was supposed to be the last survivor of those who saw him arrive. Mr Jones was a merchant trading between here and Australia in the way-back days, and was looked upon as the king of New Zealand at that time, owing to the vast interests he had in this country. At the age of 18 she was married to Mr Nathaniel Bates. The ceremony took place at R-uapuke Island, and was conducted bv the Rev. Wohlers. Whilst living at Ruapuke she was instrumental in quelling a disturbance between the Natives of Codfish Island and those of Ruapuke. A Codfish Islander who was living at Ruapuke committed suicide owing to his attentions to a Maori maiden being rejected. The Codfish tribe believed him to have been murdered, and sailed forth in their canoes to squarei accounts with the Ruapuke braves. On approaching the island and giving indications of their intentions to fight, Mrs Bates, who was quite a girl and a member of the advancing Iribe, went to the beach and held counsel with her chief, whereupon they marched to the enemy s pah and were made welcome. "A least in lieu of a fight followed, and this tangi, over the remains of the love-sick warrior, lasted several days. Shortly aftet her marriage she and her husband went to live at Riverton, and took up a small place near where the old Marine Hotel was. It was here that ?Happy Moko ' a well-known identity in the locality m those days, joined them, and together they went in for rearing pigs of the Captain Cook breed, which they sold to the sailing vessels that anchored off the Aparima, and in return got supplies of flour, coffee, beans, etc. Mrs Bates then went farming up the Jacob?s River at what is now known as Bates's Point. It was here that she proved herself a veritable ?Grace Darling.? A wagoner named Rumage, from Queenstown, was crossing the river at high tide in (he vicinity of her place when he got into difficulties'. and Mrs Bates, seeing the accident, immediately put off in a boat to his askance. After a strenuous pull she reached the unfortunate victim a-nd extricated him from his perilous position, but not before his four horses were drowned and the man almost exhausted. Shortly after this one of Mrs Bates?s children became seriously ill which necessitated a journey to Dunedin to see a doctor. Rumage was now able to repay Mrs Bates _ for her timely assistance and put to sea in an open boat with Mr and Mrs Bates and child, in order to proceed to Dunedin. The perilous journey there and back occupied six days, and was safely accomplished. Mrs Bates was the first woman to cross the old Riverton bridge, going over by means of planks while the bridge was in course of construction. Since her husband's death some 35 years ao-o she has resided with her daughters. P-lm had a family of 11, seven sons and five daughters. She had 54 grandchildren and 53 great-grandchildren.
