You first decoy men into rum-shops, and then you plunder and abuse them, because you think they are black and can get no redress.
The crews of these found among the rum-shops and Maori houris of Kororáreka a veritable South Sea Island paradise. The Maori chiefs of the neighbourhood shared their orgies, pandered to their vices, and grew rich thereby. An occasional murder reminded the Whites that Maori forbearance was limited. But even Kororáreka drew the line.

I should have been glad to cite our own colonies instead of confining myself to the English islands.
