MIRA KANI RAKAU.
Na te mea he hira nga rakau kauri o Hauraki, tutata ana kite taha wai, ka hua, ka tahuri nga Maori kite mahi i tetahi mira kani rakau, kia hua ai he moni mo ratou i nga papa kawe mai kite taone hoko ai ; otira, kaore nei e kilea he hiahia ta te Maori kite aru i nga tikanga ote Pakeha kua tauiratia nei. I te whenua kokiri ki waho, ko Meebau tona pane, ka whitu nga mira kani rakau kua whakaritea; ko ehinu kua oli, ko etahi e hanga ana. Na aua mira i wbai papa ai nga makete o te taene. Kei te awa o Waiau kotahi te mira, na Te Tolihira ; kei te Tiki, kotahi ekiia ana kia whakaarahia, na Te flerona ma ; kotahi kei te Rauotebuia, na Ringi; kei Kikowhakarere kotahi, na Karawe raua ko Patarana; kei Umangawha, kotahi, na Rawiri ma; kei Haraiaunga, kotahi, na Makareka; kei Whangapoua, kolahi, na Kereki ma; kei Whilianga, kolahi, na Hape raua ko Anene. Titiro kau atu nga Maori, miharo kau atu kite ahuwhenua o ratou hoa Pakeha, e mahi nei i te rakau, ko te mea ia, kaore kau e whakapulaina te kaha o nga Maori kia pera tahi ratou. Tu kau enei rakau kite
aroaro o nga iwi Maori, a lieoti nei te painga e tae atu ana ki a ia, konga utu anake mo nga kauri e tu noa mai ra i te wao nui o Tane.
