TE MATENGA O HONI ROPIHA TAMAHA.
Ko Honi Ropiha Tamaha, he rangatira no Ngatikinohaka, kua mate. I mate ite ata ote 13 o nga ra o Oketopa i tona whare i Akarana. He hoa pono taua tangata ra no te Kawanatanga, no nga palceha hoki, i enei tau maha ka hori ake nei. I a Mei 1845, i te riri ki Olcaihau, nana marire i hiki mai ki taliaki tetahi heramana i tu ite mata, a, ora ana taua heramana i a ia. I hikitia mai i roto i te mata e maringi mai ana itepame te pata ua. Whakamihi ana nga heramana katoa, me ta ratou rangatira, kite mahi a taua tangata, kite toa. I etahi riringa atu hoki na taua tangata ano i amo mai nga mea tu ate hoia, a, tae kite wahi ora. I nga riringa katoa'ko ia tonu ki mua haere ai, ko ia tonu hei whakaatu mai i nga pehipehi takoto a te tangata maori. Ko tera tonu ki mua i nga hoa maori a te Kawanatanga haere ai ite huakanga ki Buapekapeka, a, whati ana i a ia te hoa riri ki ro pa—mahue ana ona mea mate i waho takoto ai. I enei tau i muri nei ko ia tonu te tangata i waiho hei korero i nga tikanga, hei kawe i nga whakaaro o te Kawanatanga, ki ia hapu, ki ia hapu, o tona kainga. Ko ia tonu te hoa a Kawana Kerei i ona kaerenga maha i tenei moutere ; i ona korerotanga maha hoki ki nga tangata maori. No mua tonu atu i tona matenga ka tuhia e ia te pukapuka whakarite iho i ona taonga, e mahue ana ki muri i a ia, kia kore e riro i nga whanaunga ona i uru ki roto ki nga ritenga o te Kingi maori. He toa marire taua tangata ra, he ngakau rangatira ; mehemea i pena anake te whakaaro o nga rangatira maori o tenei motu, penei, kua kore ano te mate, e mate mai nei te tangata; kua kore te aue o te pouaru, o te pani, e aue mai nei; kua noho tika te tangata i runga ite pai, i te aroha. Otira, kua riro ia me ona painga. ■ Haere ra e koro ! haere i te huarahi kua takahia e ou tipuna ; waiho ou hoa ki muri nei me ona raruraru, me ona mate; he wahi iti, tena te haere atu i muri nei.
