TARANAKI.
Kotahi te pakeha kua puhia i Taranaki e te tangata maori. Ko Inia te ingoa ote tangata nana i pupuhi—no te Kaipukapuka (he pa maori) taua tangata. I kitea taua koroke i Manutahi i te 7 o Nowema e mau ana i te tarau o te pakeha, he mea kua tahaetia i tetahi rangi atu. Mohio tonu nga pakeha ki taua tarautete na te Maihara—te pakeha nona te tarau kua ngaro na. Ka haere taua tangata ki tetahi whare kite hoko rohi mana, katahi ka puritia i reira e nga pakeha kia tikini te Maihara, te tangata nona te tarau, Te taenga mai ka ki koia ano ko tona tarau tonu tena. Katahi ka waiho tetahi pakeha, ko Teone Ropi te ingoa, kite tiaki ite maori, ka haere te Maihara ki te tiki ite Pirihimana. Katahi ka arahina te maori e Teone Ropi kiroto ki tetahi rumu nobo ai raua, ka kiia raua ki roto e nga pakeha—he pu i a Kopi e mau ana. Ki bai i roa raua e noho ana i roto i te rumu ka rongona te paku ote pu mete aue ote tangata. Te rerenga atu o nga pakeha ki roto ka kitea te pakeha a Ropi e takoto ana ki raro kua puhia. Ka karanga mai;— " Kua mate au. Na te maori au i pupuhi." Ka mutu tonu ana korero; te kau nga mimiti e takoto ana ka hemo. Ko te maori kua oma—i wahia atu te matapihi, puta ana ki -waho, oma ana. Ko etahi pakeha i waho i wbai atu ki muri, kaore hoki i mau. I te aongaake o te ra ka tae a Inia ki tona kainga ki Kaipukapuka. Kua tae ke atu te rongo ki reira o te kohurutanga ; katahi ka hopungia e nga maori o te kainga, ka kawea mai ka tukua mai kite pakeha. I te hopukanga ka pakaha rawa te okeoke o te tangata ra ; ka mau kite poki hei tapahi i aia ake ano kia mate. Kotahi te tangata maori i motu iaia te tapahi kite pirahuka. He taitaitamarik j rawa taua koroke. Te rironga mai kite pakeha kaore i whakorekore ki tona he. Meake whakawakia ai. Tera e maie tena tangata apopo ake nei.
