Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Charles Dickens te patunga o tētahi whakamātau whakaeke ki tana waka i te tau 1862. I tēnei rā, e whakahonoretia ana a Charles Dickens hei tangata nui rawa atu o Ingarangi - engari kāore i whakahonoretia i ngā wā katoa. E whakaatu ana ngā pūkete i kitea hou, i te tihi o tōna rongonui, i whakaekehia te kaituhi rongonui e ngā kaiwhaiwhai i ngana ki te huri i tana waka i tana haerenga ki te kāinga. I tahaetia hoki te tarutaru mai i tana whare i Gad's Hill Place e tata ana ki Rochester i Kent, ana i amuamu mo nga paru mai i te whare inu o te rohe i maka ki tana kari. I puta mai ōna pakanga ki ngā hoa noho i roto i tētahi raupapa o ngā tapahi nūpepa mai i te British Newspaper Archive kua kitea e te maheni Bygone Kent. I neke te kaituhi ki Gad's Hill i te tau 1856, ma te whakamahi i nga moni i riro i a ia mai i nga pukapuka penei i a Oliver Twist, A Chrismas Carol me David Copperfield. I whakamahia e ia te tereina mai i Rānana ki Higham, te teihana tata ki tona kāinga, i mua i te whiwhi i roto i te waka hoiho-toia ki te tango ia te toenga o te ara. Engari i te Pipiri 1862, tata ana ki te raru i tana ara auau - e ai ki te purongo a te niupepa o te rohe, te South Eastern Gazette, i tuhi mo te 'whakamatautau rewera ki te huri i te waka a Mr. C. Dickens' na te kaimahi ahuwhenua a James Stedman. I whakaritea kia tae atu a Dickens ki Higham i te 10.30pm ki te whakatau i tana tane, a James Marsh, engari i ngaro ia i te tereina ka hoki te tane ki Gad's Hill. I kii te niupepa: 'I te tawhiti iti i kitea e ia e rua nga roera e takoto ana i te huarahi, mena kaore i kitea i te wa tika, ka tino kino te kino. 'Ko James Munn, he hoa mahi o te herehere, i haere tahi me Stedman mai i Strood ki Higham i te 9.30, a, i a ia e haere ana i te kainga, ka kite i te waka a Mr Dickens e haere ana ki te teihana. 'I muri tonu iho ka haere te herehere ki te mara, ka toia nga roera e rua puta noa i te huarahi ki te whakararuraru i te kaata i tana hokinga mai. I taua wā ka tuwhera a Munn i te kuwaha mo te herehere.' Transport: Dickens whakaahuatia i roto i te waka hoiho-toia ki tana wahine, me tamahine....
Ko te kaituhi nui te kaupapa o tētahi whakamātau tahae i te huarahi nui i te tau 1862 i te wā i whakamātau ai tētahi tangata hara ki te huri i tana waka. I mawhiti a Dickens i te kino nā te mea i ngaro i a ia te tereina i mau ai ia. Ko ngā pūkete i kitea mai i te British Newspaper Archive e whakaatu ana i te amuamu a te kaituhi mō te haruru i te taha o tōna kāinga, o Gad's Hill Place. I mauheretia tētahi tangata o te rohe mō te tahae i te tarutaru i te whare o Dickens.
