Adonis
Enderby owned ship Adonis, Captain Turnbull, shipped a number of sows and boars to the Bay of Islands in 1805. These came from Norfolk Island, at the command of Governor King in Sydney, as a gift to Te Pahi, Nga Puhi chief of Rangihoua. Venus and Argo also transported pigs to the Bay of Islands.
Te Pahi was so pleased to receive such an excellent gift that he joined Venus on her return trip to Norfolk Island to thank his benefactor. Te Pahi then went on to Sydney to also personally thank Governor King, and to express his desire to increase opportunities for trade and industry.
