HE WHARANGI TUWHERA MA NGA HOA TUHI MAI.
No te wa Kirihimete, 1867, i tuhia atu ai. E hoa, e te Kai-urungi i te Waka Maori o Aburiri, tena ra ko koe. Tenei taaua ka tae mai nei ki tenei kooki o te huanui e whanaatu nei ano taaua. Na, kia rongo mai koe ki taku kupu ka puta atu nei, he tangi hoki ki a korua ko Ngatikabungunu i puta ai taku kupu i tenei wa; ara, tetabi wabi mo to kupu rara kia wbakamutua te whakatere i te Walia Maori, tetabi wahi mo to ratou tahuri mai kite mabi kite hoe. Auwee ! Ka pouri au ki enei tikanga. E mohio aua ahau, me koe, me ratou bold, — kore rawa he wakanui e tere kite kore ona kai-hoe. Ma te pai o te Kai-urungi ka aha ? Kite mea ka waibo ko ia anake, maana koia ka whiti atu ai, ka u ai ? Na, he wa ano ka penei noa aku mabara, —E, be mea pea, be kuraruraru no te iwi nei i kore ai e taburi mai kite hoe ; a, he wa ano, ka mea ahau, tenei tata ake pea te wa obonga kite mabi, ina he raumati tenei. Ina hoki ekore e pai kia tukua kia eke to tatou nei waka, kia tere noa atu ranei he wabi ke, iwi ke, hei taonga hei waka terenga ma ratou. No te mea hoki na tenei waka i rangona nuitia ai tenei kaainga me tenei iwi; naana hoki i kiia ai tenei iwi e nga tangata o tawhiti he iwi nui, he iwi rangatira. " He aha te tohu o te taringa ? he hawakawa .?" I naia te waka nui to tatou; inaianei kahore atu be waka o te motu nei puta noa puta noa. Heoi, kite tukua kia eke noa, kia tere rawa atu ranei to tatou waka, kia toia ranei ki uta uhia ai kite riiriiwaka kite raurakau moe roa ai,—auwee ! tera pea e puta te kupu e, " Rangatira tau kai titoJd." Na, e hoa, e te Kai-wbakamaori Kaiurungi nei o to tatou waka nui, kia manawanui koe, abakoa kei te rae koe o Rakeimatataniwharau, kia u e koe kite urun<n. Ina hoki, whakarongo mai, tenei nga pukapuka maha ka taetae mai nei ki abau, no raro no tera iwi oku no Ngapuhi, ka nui noa atu te whakapai mete whakamoemiti a taua iwi ki to tatou nei Waka Maori. Na, tenei tetabi kupu no raro no Hokianga, na Eamiora Takirau, e mea ana, —" E "hoa, e whakapai ana ahau ki au tini nuipepa; ae, mete tini o nga tangata e whakamoemiti ana kite papai o nga koirero o roto, n<*a korero o te waea kawe korero, me korero o te kaihaukai a Ngatikabungunu, me te tini noa ibo o nga korero o roto."—Ka penei hoki ta Mobi, no reira ano, ta etahi atu hoki no raro. Aano ra, ki ahau nei, e
mea mai ana ratou kia koe, —" Taau mahi ra e te iti Kahurangi ee /" A, mahau hoki e utu atu, mea atu, " Iti noa ana he pito mata. Wini wini hi uta, wini wini hi tai, tahu waewae tipa kite kura." Heoi ano taku kupu ki a koe. Ma Ngatikahungunu e pupuri e whakatere ta ratou nei waka. (Kurupai) e te tau e, Araraiti.) Ka mutu, Naaku, na to hoa. Na Te Kobeneho.
