I runga ite tono ate Tari o te Wbakaora, ka haere a Takuta Hauwata, o Taumarunui, raua ko Rev. Waari, mihinare i waenganui i nga Maori, hei kaiwhakamaori, ka haere raua ki tetahi kainga Maori ite taha ote awa o Whanganui, ko Tawata te ingoa. To raua taenga atu ka kite raua l tetahi ahua kino, e toru nga tai-tamariki kua mate, ko etahi i roto i tetahi whare paku, kaore he timera, he wini, he wahi ranei kia pai atu te tangi a te bau ki roto, i waenganui o te ruma he tini keretini he ahi i roto kia - mahana ai nga turoro.
