NGA TUPAPAKU.
Te nehungao Wiki Keepa.
No te Wenerei nei ka nehuatia a Wiki Keepa, te wahine rangatira o nga hapu o te Tai-Hauauru ki Putiki, kite taha ano o tona matua. o Meiha Keepa te Rangihiwinui. Kaore i. mohiotia tera etere te tanu, i te mea i te tautohetohetia e ngaiwi tewaahihei tanumanga, ko etahi e taunaha ana ki Horowhenua, ko etahi ki Putiki. Na runga i tetahi raruraru tangata mate i pa mai ki etabi o ngo hipu i eke mai kite marae ka ter? te whakataunga o te waahi hei tapuketanga mo te tupapaku, ara, ki Putiki ano. Ka whiriwhiria hold te taha mo te Hahi hei tanu i te tupapaku, i te mea i uru ia kite Hahi Katorika, ka whakaaetia ma te Hahi Katorika ano ia e tanu* Ha nui nga tangata o Whanganui i tae kite nehunga, hiunga
hoki nga iwi i eke mai. I mua atu ote haringa kite urupa ka karakiatia e Pa Hohepa, o Otaki, tetahi karakia poto. I te 2.80 o nga haora ka haria te tupapaku, ko te peene nui tonu o Whanganui i mua e purei ana i n~a himene mo te hunga mate, i muri mai ko nga hoia o te kura Katorika o Whanganui, muri mai ko nga kotiro i te Kaweneti o Whanganui, whai mai i muri ko nga Minita Katorika e rima, muri mai ko nga whanaunga tata o te tangata mate, mete iwi nui. Kaore i roa te haerenga atu kua tae kite urupa, na (Dean Begnault) i whakahaere te karakia i te urupa. I tae a Timi Kara, Dr Pomare, me era atu rangatira ki tea°t tangihanga, e kiia ana koinei tetahi o nga tangihanga nunui o nga \va o naianei. No te ra i tanumia ai a Wiki ka ngaro hoki a Rirena, he whanaunga ano no Wiki. I mate ia i te Ratapu, ka whakaarotia e nga iwi me ngaro tahi raua i taua ra. Kua tae mai te rongo kua mate a Te Uamairangi, te hakui 0 Taranaki Te Ua, ki Heretaunga. He wahine rangatira tenei no era o tatou hapu. Tetahi Maori kotahi rau ona tau, kei Manunui tona kainga, kua mate ; ko te ingoa e karangatia ana ia ko Naporiana, engari ko tona ingoa tuturu ko Nnku. Ipa mai tetahi aitua kia ia, whati ana tona waewae, wera katoa hold tona tinana ; kei te ahua mohio nga tangata tera i hinga ki runga i tona ahi; ka rongoa ia ia kite wai ote tutu, na tenei ka kino rawa tona mate. Hs tino tangata toa tenei i ngi wa whawhai o mua, a, koia anake hoki te tangata mohio ki te whakairo e ora ana i era takiwa. Tetahi o nga tino rangatira o te hapu o Ngati Pikiao, takiwa o Rotoro a, ko Hapeta Te Pakuru tona ingoa, kua mate. He tangata tenei i tino kaha ia kite arai ite riri, kia tau te rangimarie ki nga iwi e rua, Maori, Pakeha, i nga whawhai o mua; he kaha hoki kite whakapai i te noho a tona hapu. He tangata ia e tino mohiotia ana i nga takiwa o Waikato me era atu waahi.
Kua mate a Haana Pewene, tuahine o Ropata Ranapiri, ara a Honoiti, ki Manakau, takiwa ki Ofcaki, koia nei tetahi o n#a wahine rangatira o tenei hapa o Ngati Wehiwehi.
