The story told by Mike about the mysterious fisherman off the East Cape was published by Anne Salmond in her 1991 book ‘Two Worlds’

- Two Worlds, Anne Salmond, 1991, pg 63

Two Worlds is well and truly out of print. You sometimes find copies of it being offered online- Examples I have seen have been priced around $140 NZD, which is preposterous. Borrow it from your local library. With any luck, it might be available as more than ‘snippet view’ at Google Books, one day: http://books.google.com/books?id=0gQ0nPdcl7wC

REQUEST: I would be interested to find a copy of Anne Salmond’s article ‘Did  Europeans visit the East  Coast of NZ before Captain  Cook?‘ which appears to have been written sometime prior to 1991. If anyone can help, please let me know.
