Photographing Along the Fire Belt.
[At the suggestion of the Editor of the Otago Daily Times, I have torn out a few leaves from "A Photographer's Diary," which bear upon the scenes of the terrible convulsions of Nature now at work, and have supplied a few annotations thereto.— Alfred H. Burton.]
That trip of mine — " Through the King with the Camera" (see several issues of the Otago Daily Times in July last year), was tolerably successful, I think. Anyhow, it resulted in a fair amount of coin and kudos but it did not content me. The distant views I got of Ruapehu and Ngaruhoe (Tongariro) from Taumaranui, determined me to make an early occasion to plant my camera at the very feet of those giant mountains. Accordingly, late in October last, I got a "slant," and taking coach from Napier, I found myself, in the evening of the second day, on the shores of the great inland sea. Lake Taupo. This glorious, sheet of water—nearly 30 miles across—at once reminded me of our own Otagan lakes and sounds, - I mean by being so utterly unlike. Here are no mighty steep-to walls, reared on the very margin of the water, their snow-clad heads ever and anon bursting through the rifting clouds as it seems right over head. Huge mountains there are indeed - Tongariro and Ruapehu to wit - but they lie back many a mile from the lake, and are seen very low down on the horizon; but when the atmosphere is sufficiently clear to afford a full view of them, the picture seen from Tapueharuru is one of exceeding beauty. But beauty is only one of the attractions of this neighbourhood; for we are now all among geysers, steam holes, hot rivulets, boiling mud volcanoes, and other manifestations of satanic activity. Within a few hundred yards are the Crow's Nest, the Little Crow's Nest, the Witches' Cauldron, baths of alum and baths of sulphur, the Devil's Pitch Pot, the Steam Hammer, and scores of other wonders and terrors.
Tokaanu (we have now crossed over to the southern shore of Lake Taupo) is remarkable even in this most remarkable region, for the number and variety of its natural warm baths. Every morning and evening the inhabitants to a man - aye, and to a woman and a child - turn out of their whares, and turn into these "puias," which form the grand gossip-shops of the neighbourhood. As to the proceeding - why, it is just the custom of the country; and Honi soit qui mal y pense; so we pakehas put prudery behind us and accommodate ourselves to circumstances. Within a couple of miles of Tokaanui [sic] is Waihi, famed for its waterfall; and between the two places is the site of the pa of Te Heu Heu, head chief of the Tuwharetoa or Taupo tribe, a famous warrior and statesman of his time. One morning about forty years ago, the people of the next village suddenly missed a well-known object in the landscape. The pa of Te Heu Heu, with the chief and all his people, had vanished - buried in the night under a landslip! The descendant of this chief - bearing the same name - sat to me for a portrait. It was most refreshing to see the old tatooed [sic] chief, while waiting for his turn under the camera, holding a looking glass in one hand, and with the other carefully "going over" and accentuating all his tatoo [sic] marks with a pointed stick dipped in blacking. After the old warrior had been polished off, it was intimated to me that the dusky maidens would not object to be "taken" in all the delicious abandon of their morning bath, if only every bystander (of course excepting the photographer) would "clear out." This was of course agreed to, and some most characteristic pictures of Maori life were the result.
Got a number of shots at the great mountain this morning under various atmospheric conditions, and then took up our camping ground as close as possible to its foot. Ngaruhoe was not visible from our tent, but then, right opposite us, was the saddle - a huge curtain of lava that connects Tongariro itself with the great volcano. To-morrow, all going well, we mean to reach the top of the burning mountain. Accordingly [we are now in "next day"] we turned out of our blankets at half-past 3, and having got breakfast over, and the photographic traps divided into three convenient "swags," made a start from camp at 4.30; the saddle - which an inexperienced, person might perhaps have rashly undertaken to reach "in half an hour, or threequarters at the outside"—took us till a quarter to 7, and we had walked pretty smartly too, for we were fresh, and the air was cool, but not a little of the way was just a scramble over lava heaps. Now, before and right above us was our goal - the huge black cinder heap, veined with snow and capped with wreathing steam. Should I ever plant my camera on yonder summit? I began to have grave doubts, but determined to "go at it." Oh! that climb! Sometimes we were fortunate enough to "strike a patch" of hard rock, and we got on gaily for a little. Then would come a weary spread of loose lava, which gave no grip to the feet; so that a long stride upwards would only secure two or three inches of progress, the cinder treacherously giving way under our tread. I think I hear someone say - "Why, this is a common experience in climbing all volcanoes!" No doubt! No doubt. But then my life has not been full of volcano-climbing, so this experience had all the advantage (?) of novelty to me. As we mounted, the pauses for rest became more and more frequent; and still the summit seemed scarcely any nearer. We turned aside more than once to the strips of snow that filled the rifts in the otherwise comparatively smooth sides of the mountain, and munched a piece of biscuit and a bit of the granulated snow alternately. My guides had hitherto led the way; and, ever and anon, when I was contemplating giving up what I had now quite taught myself was just a fool's enterprise, I would look up at them growing more and more tiny, and, calling up pride to my assistance, once more trudge my weary way upward. About 11 o'clock - six-and-a-half hours from the camp - I caught the guides up, only to learn that one of them was seized with giddiness, and "wouldn't go any further for twenty pounds." Here was a fix! Now again was I sorely tempted to give in. Encouraged by the other guides, however, I screwed up my courage once more, and making a new division of the traps, we took a good long rest - watching the descent of our mate, who seemed to think there would be no safety for him till he should reach the bottom of the cone. Down, down he went, and when we could no longer distinguish his tiny form, we two tackled the ascent once more, and precisely at noon I had the proud satisfaction of reaching the mouth of the crater with my camera and all appliances for taking twelve negatives! So utterly "doneup" was I, though, that I just turned my back upon the wonders now revealed, and threw myself upon the ground, cursing in my heart the mountain and all his works. This feeling, of course, soon passed off; for I was now on the summit of the great volcano, nearly 7,000 feet above the sea! We found the crater to be really in triplicate. Away to the left of us rose a wall pierced with innumerable steam holes, so that the whole seemed to be a mass of burning matter thinly covered with earth. Right in front of us sank a basin-like hollow - a crater of the past - now at all events, out of work; while beyond we could see proofs of great fiery activity. Thitherwards, after securing pictures all round us, we made our way. Getting along the lips of the crater was rather a ticklish proceeding; for there is a walking space of only a few inches. On one hand yawns the crater, and on the other the side of the mountain. We tested the steepness by starting apiece of rock from the summit. Away it went, by leaps and bounds - stopping not till it reached the saddle - we had reason to believe; for, of course, it was long ere then quite out of sight. We had to make our way very cautiously along the crater lips, for seams and crevices, with the sulphur exuding, were tolerably frequent; and when I stopped to focus a view, I had repeatedly to shift my feet, so hot were the cinders. It was scarcely pleasant, too, when with a sudden change of wind, we found ourselves enveloped in the scalding steam. Tongariro, Ngaruhoe, and Ruapehu are nearly in a line; and as we climbed the cone from the saddle of Tongariro, Ruapehu was on the further side of the volcano. I had a strong desire to make a picture of the great snowy mass of Ruapehu from the summit of the burning mountain, and felt sure, that if we steadily worked round the lips of the crater we should get a sight of the giant. We had ascended the mountain at the lowest dip of the crater; and between us and Ruapehu, it rose about a hundred and fifty feet higher than our point. We steadily pursued our somewhat dangerous way, and were richly rewarded; for now, right opposite to us - just across the valley - albeit seven miles and more away - is Ruapehu in all his glory! And no further round could we have got, for there is here a mighty chasm in the crater lip; and to attempt to clamber down and up again on the other side, would be madness, as the way is a succession of pitfalls of steam and sulphur. Now I feel repaid for all the trouble and all the weariness, for I have photographed Ruapehu from the top of the burning mountain! We have now spent three hours on the summit, and having exhausted all the plates, prepared to take the back track. We spared a few minutes in admiration of the glorious view to the northward. We are far above the highest point of Tongariro, and the whole of Lake Taupo beyond is spread before us. A slight haze hides the extreme distance, and prevents us from seeing Mount Egmont. We had, however, a line view of this mountain (properly "Taranaki") two nights before, when its pyramidal form - a dark grey - stood clearly cut against the evening sky, though 80 miles distant. An hour and a quarter of descent - to set against five hours and a quarter of ascent, brought us again to the saddle, and the guides pushed on to camp, which I, proceeding more leisurely and confessing the fagging effect of the day's work, reached at seven o'clock. Having thus photographed from the volcanic cone, I thought I should like a portrait of the cone from the summit of Tongariro itself; so three days afterwards we made our way thither. This was a tolerably stiff climb, but a trifle only compared with the other. At the top of Tongariro are numerous, craters in various stages, some of them just spitting with steam, and others that look as if they had long been out of work -one in particular being a huge circular plain at least half-a-mile in diameter, where we could imagine some Olympian games being carried on in a truly Titanic scale; the sides forming a perfect amphitheatre with room for the whole population of Australasia as spectators. Again I got a "shot" at Ruapehu; this time with a huge rugged crater of Tongariro, the volcanic cone Ngaruhoe, and Ruapehu itself, all in echelon. But the most noteworthy feature of Tongariro is not on the summit, but on the northern slopes, about two-thirds down, for that was the way we approached Ketetahi, which constitutes the grandest collection of steam holes to be found on the whole of the fire-belt of New Zealand. It is as though the Government had summoned a meeting of all the locomotives of the railway system, and as though they in emulation of another assemblage we wo[?] of - were blowing off steam at the same instant, Venturing here rather close to get a good "shot," I inadvertently "put my foot into it,” breaking the crust and slipping into the sulphur workings, to the terror of my guide, and the peril of my camera. But no harm came of it though I took the hint, and focussed at a safe distance for the future. Having done the mountains I returned to Tapueharuru, and taking the Huka Falls on the Waikato on my way, made a day at Wairakei. If this place were only a little more comeatable, or if the White and Pink Terraces did not exist, the world would deal a great deal more of the wonders of Wairakei; but as we have a very embarrassment of riches, we can afford comparatively to neglect this place.
And here I would ventilate my views as the proper way of doing the fire-belt, viz., to take the course I did - from Napier to Lake Taupo see all the wonders round about Lofley's; sail down the lake to Tokaanu; thence ride through the bush over the saddle, by the shore of Rote Aira; ascend Tongariro, taking Ketetahi on the way; mount the volcano (if you like) and Ruapehu; return to Tapueharuru; go by the Huka Falls and Wairakei to Rotorua; try to exhaust all the wonders of this neighbourhood; then see Rotokanapanapa and the Terraces, and go on to Auckland. Of course the traveller has not even then exhausted all the wonders of our Hot Springs district, for there are natural hot baths at Te Aroha, and very famous ones at Waiwera, not to mention others of less note. But he may fairly claim to know something about what I venture to call "New Zealand's Fire Belt."

Intelligence from Taupo states that Mr Burton, photographer, has made a most successful second invasion of the King Country with the camera. On Nov. 29 he ascended the active volcano Ngaruahoe, in spite of the supposed rigid tapu, planted his camera on the top of the crater and down in it photographed the whole locality, and took five views of Ruapehu from the crater. On Dec. 2 he ascended Ruapehu, worked all over the summit, and procured a grand view of Ruapehu and Ngaruahoe. He was favoured by grand weather.

Telegrams received from Taupo in Auckland state that Mr Burton, photographer, of Dunedin, made a second successful invasion of the King Country, with the camera, on the 29th ult. He ascended the active volcano of Ngarhoe, in spite of the supposed rigid tapu, and photographed it from all points, and took a fine view of Ruapehu from the crater of Ngaruhoe. He ascended Tongariri, and operated all over the summit, procuring grand views of Ruapehu and Ngaruhoe. From that point coming down he took the great steam holes of Keterahi. The result of the whole tour has been satisfactory, he having been favored with splendid weather.
