400 additional Taranaki Māori arrived on the same ship on 5 December 1835.
A second load of 400 Taranaki Māori arrived on the brig Lord Rodney on 5 December 1835. Before the sailings, the groups had agreed that land would not be divided until all had arrived to prevent unfair advantage for the first arrivals. This brought the total number of invaders to approximately 900.
