He kohuru hoki mai.—l te marama i a Mei i te tau 1762 kotahi te tangata o Ingarani i hoko i tetahi wahi poaka ka hoatu ki tona wahine, ka ki atu kia takaia mo to raua tina mo tona bokinga mai i te tekau ma rua o nga baora, katahi ka haere atu ki tona mahi. Ka tunua ete wahine ra i muri, ka maua ka wbanga ki tona tane. No te korenga e puta mai te tane i te baora i ki ai tera katahi ka kawea e te wahine ki tabaki takotj ai kia hoki mai te tane; ki bai i kainga ete wahine—e whanga ana kia tae mai te tane ka kainga ai. No te wha rawa o nga baora (i te ahiahi) katahi ra ano ka tae mai te tane mete wahi kau i te ringa e mau ana. Ka ki atu kite wahine he raruraru nona ki tona mabi i kore ai e hoki wawe mai, mea ana kua kore ia e hiakai kite poaka engari me taka ete wahine te wabi kau hei kai mana. Katahi ka paraitia e te wahine, ka maua ka kainga e te tane. Ki hai i ata pau ka mohio iho te tangata ra ki a ia be mate kei roto i tona ngakau e ngau ana. Ka ui atu kite wahine:—"l paraitia e koe te kau nei ki roto kite aha ?" Ka ki atu te wahine; " I roto i te hinu o te poaka i mauria mai e koe ite ata ra." Katahi ka mea atu te tane ;-—"Heoi, he tupapaku au; kua rongoatia taua wahi poaka. He mea naku kia mate koe, no reira ka pania eaute poaka ra kite rongoa whakamate tangata." Ki hai i roa ngaoraora ana te tangata ra ki te whenua i te mamae, muri iho ka mate. Ka tika te hokinga mai o tona kohuru ki a ia ano. He mahara hoki nana e kore ai e hoki mai kite tina tera e kainga e tona wahine tetabi wahi o te poaka mo tona tina, a ka mate.
