Te Karawaka ki Hokianga.
He nui nga mate i haria mai e tenei iwi, e te Pakeha ki Aotearoa, engari he hanga kino rawa te Karawaka—tetahi ingoa he Kirika, he Piwha, —e turaki nei, e whakaweto nei i nga Maori o Herekino, i Pukepoto, i hea, i hea. Tenei etahi kupu whakaatu i taua mate-kino, i tukua ki nga nupepa Pakeha e Hone Marie Kereihi (Mr. John Marie Grace): " He hira nga Maori, i Herekino, i Pukepoto, i Hokianga e kaingia ana e tera taru whakamataku, e te karawaka (typhoid). I rongo ahau kite tamahine a Te Manene, Tiati, kua mate ra. Te ingoa o taua wahine nana i whakaatu ko Mihi Harimana (Mrs. Hardiman). Koia nei ana kupu, ' Kei te mohio ahau, he tini te tangata kua hemo i te raumati nei i tera mate. Kotahi te tamaiti te 11 tau i hemo i te wiki kua pahemo ake nei; a, tokotoru o taua whanau e whakahemohemo ana. I te wiki kotahi tatakirua, tatakitoru nga tupapaku. Ka nui te pouri kite uekaha o tenei mate, porima i te panga mai o tenei mate, ka hemo te tangata Ka nui toku pawera ki taku iwi. Kite mau tenei Piwa, ekore e wheau, ka tokohia ra nei nga morehu. Tetahi, ka toro-haere ki ehinu atu takiwa. Ka mohio ahau kite kaha o te mate, ta te mea, e nohoia ana e nga Maori nga wahi e tata ana ki nga repo, ki nga parenga-awa. Tetahi, he haumaku i roto i nga whare, tae noa ki nga marae. Kaore he kai-tirotiro i nga turoro, kaore hoki he kai pai e rite ana ki ta nga Rata i whakaarohia ai, he tika mo te Karawaka. Ka nui te pu-aroha ki nga Maori i runga i tenei mate, haunga hoki, te hopohopo o te tokomaha ma reira hoki etahi e patu I toku turanga hei kai-whakaako mo nga tamariki i runga i nga tikanga o te Kawanatanga, hono tonu taku ki atu, kia pai nga kainga. nga whare, aha, aha. I
mea atu ahau, kaua e tapapa kite oneone moe ai, engari kia hanga nga moenga ki runga ki te rakau; a, i oku tau e toru i kura ai, horerawa he mate Karawaka, a, he mate pera. Na te Kawanatanga i tuku ki nga mahita o nga kura Maori katoa nga pukapuka o tetahi Takuta o Amerika mo te Karawaka, me nga mate turaki-haere i te tangata ina pa atu kite turoro. Naku i whakamaori ana korero a Te Takuta; a, tukua atu ana ki nga Maori i mohio ai, i tupato ai Ekore ianei e tika, e pai kia tukua atu he Takuta ki enei iwi e ngaua kinotia nei e tenei tu taru ?'" [Pai noa atu, tika noa atu.]
