He Wharangi no te "Haerenga Ki Taupo."
Na Meiha Kirinitvuru.
He ara pai tenei, kei te taha o te awa o Waikato, he repo ano ia hoki tetahi wahi. I wehi au i te wai, i te ra nei, kei maku oku ua noho kite waka. Mea atu ana au ki aTe Hura mana au e walia i nga repo, whakaae tonu tera, a, taiapohina ake au, me he tamaiti nei. No tc taenga kite waka korerorero ana, tangi ana, muri iho eke ana matou ki nga waka, hoe ana i 'Te ia tukutuku ki "SVaikato.' ICihai a Te Hura i tae i a matou, i mate hoki ia; otira, kahore he mamaetanga ki tera, no te mea hoki, tenei ano nga tohunga ki nga wahi mataku o taua awa. Ilaere te kaha ote hoe, haere te rere o te ia, kihai i roa ka tutata kite tabeke matamua. Ko Paura te kai-urungi ote waka ;no te tatanga kite rere, ka pa te karanga o tc kai-urungi, kia haere kiuta etahi o nga tangata, kia haere mauta kite raenga i raro atu. Koia rawa ano; peke ana matou kiuta, tukua ana kiuta hoki etahi o nga wahanga kia mama ai te waka. Mahue atu kite waka tokowaru nga
tangata- unuunu marire ana i nga kokeka, ka mau ki nga hoe, ka rukuhia "te moana waiwai.*' No to matou ekenga kl te taumata, ka kitea atu te waka e boea ana ; tutu ana te puehu o te taheke, makari ake nei te awa kei putanga mo te waka. Ko Paura kite kei o te waka nolio mai ai, uo te taenga kite heketanga, ka "rcre a manu" te waka ra, rite te tukunga o te hoe, rite te pikonga o te tuara, waiho te moana i kona tutu ai, haere ana to waka ka riro. No te unga ki uta eke katoa ana matau ki nga waka, hoe ana. He rere noa ake nei etahi, engari he wai kau i eke kite waka ; no te taenga kite wahi pai o te awa, ka whakaaro ano matou kite kai nei, a te parera, popo tonu ki nga tini pikonga 0 nga awa. Ahiahi rawa ake, haere ana i a matou nga parera erua tekau ma rima. Kabore be kainga Maori i kitea i te haerenga mai i Maungatautari, a, tae- noa kite manga o Waipa. Kabore i ahua rangatira tenei wahi ote awa, e ngaro ana tona pai i nga parepare o te awa, e titi tonu ana hoki. I tenei ra, tobutohungia ' o ana e nga tangata nga whawharuae ruai te toka, Ite taha maui ote awa : e meinga ana i tapore aua wahi i te rekeieke o tetahi atua i te tupekenga mai ki tenei taha o te awa, e arumia mai ana e tetahi atu atua. I rokohanga matau ete po kite taha ote ngahcreherc, marire kia tae ki reira i whai wahi ai Lei tabu ite parera, mete parareka hei kinaki. 3le be mea, i taca te kawe atu ki Ingarangi ka manawapoporetia e nga rangatira kakai o reira me tuku kite kaiangaranga. Me he mea pea, e tino hiakai ana ratou,horo katoa tekapana,me te parera.
