A fortified town or village called a hippah (Pā), built on a perforated rock, at Tolaga in New Zealand by Thomas Morris and Herman Diedrich Sporing, 1769, Herman Spöring Jr.

Shows europeans at left and maori at right, paddling two canoes in the foreground, with the arched rock behind. Some canoes are drawn up on the steep back at the right beyond the rock. Derived from the first published illustration in hawkesworth's voyages, 1773, v. 2, pl 18, which in turn is from a pencil drawing by herman diedrich sporing ('a perforated rock fortified on the top'. Endorsed in sporing's hand, `sporing's grotto. Opuragi-bay. New zealand). The view is actually of te puta o paretauhinu at mercury bay not tolaga bay. `opoorage' was cook's rendering of purangi ie mercury bay. See also footnote in beaglehole's cook, v. 1, p 200. Confusion has arisen in early titling of engravings on account of the sporing and parkinson views of the tolaga bay archway (see plates in bernard smith and beaglehole). Engraving, 203 x 330 mm. Cropped from original (see "file history" below). Date: 1769.
