PAREKURA I PATEA.
E WHA TE KAU, TAE KI TE RIMA TE KAU, O TE HAU HAU KUA MATE I TE HOIA. Kua hinga te parekura o te hoia raua ko te Hau Hau i te taha ki Taranaki o Patea, he awa kei ko atu o Waitotara. Mate rawa ote Hau Hau e wha te kau tae kite rima te kau tangata; mate o te hoia kotahi tonu, i tu i te upoko—tokotoru i tu a kiko, ka mutu tonu. Ko te korero tenei. No te 13 o nga ra o Maehe nei ka whakatika atu te hoia i Patea e anga atu ana ki Kakaramea. ' Ka toru nga maero e haere ana ka tae ki nga hiwi e takoto whakapae ana i te taha katau o to ratou matua. I konei tetohu ote Hau Hau e whakapapa ana. No te taenga ake 0 te hoia ka huaki mai te pupuhi o tera. Hua noa pea kia tika te rere mai o te mata i tona atua te whakatika; eki ana hold ratou he toa atua tona —kaore ia, he heke tonu tana hanga. Ko te tahuritanga o te hoia i runga i te toa tangata, ka reia tonutia nga hiwi; anana! ki hai i roa e riri ana ka whati kino te hoa riri—tahuti haere atu ana 1 runga i nga hiwi, mete weka e kuhu ana i te wahi otaota kia ngaro ia i te kai whai. Kawe noa ratou i te tuatahi, kawe noa kia mate te hoia i a ia; no te korenga e taea katahi ka oma, ka whaia haeretia e te hoia, ka patua haeretia. I hea ra to ratou atua, te kai aru ite pakeha kite moana ? Ite moe pea i kore ai e puta mai kite whakaora i ona akonga.
Tera ano e kataina taua iwi te Hau Hau ra e oma ana i runga hiwi mete kuri e ngawi haere ana. Tera ano e taunutia ao te mea he iwi whakahihi ia; he maha ona-kupu whakatoatoa. Tetalii, he hunga kohuru ia; ko tona ritenga tonu tena he kohuru—ekore ano hoki e arohaina te tangata kohuru; heoti ano he ritenga mona he mate, ka mutu tonu ano. Ehara i te ritenga pakeha kia taunutia nga mate o tona hoa riri mehemea he hoa riri whakaaro rangatira. I foto anake i te riri ka kawea i te ngakau pakeke ; tona mutunga iho o te riri ka mauria ka rongoatia kia ora, ka manaakitia, ka arohaina tonutia. Ko tenei ekore e puta te aroha kite hunga nana nga ritenga kua kitea e tatou te putanga i Opotiki; ara, ko te kohurutanga o te Wakana. Engari ano rate ritenga Kingi ite timatanga he ahua whakaaro ; tangata tera; tena ko tenei ritenga whakahouhou ehara rawa i te ritenga tangata. Ka mutu ra. Me mohio nga iwi katoa ote motu kite teka ote Hau Pai Marire i tona matenga i te pakeha i Patea nei, i tera i Nukumaru hoki. Me he pono tona atua penei kua kore ia e mate. He pakeha anake nana i pata, kaore he maori Kuini i roto i aua riri/
