TE MATENGA O PITA TAUKAKA.
He mea tuhi mai na Hori Wirikihana o Hauraki. No te 13 o nga ra o Hepetema ka mate tenei tangata—i mate ki Aropaoa, wahi o Karamaene. Katahi te tangata i uru talii ai te pakeha mete Maori kite tangi mo to ratou tangata; no te mea he' tangata manaaki ia i a ratou i tona oranga. No reira nga pakeha ka tangi ki taua tangata. Ehara i te mea no maianei ia i whakahoa ai kite pakeha; kaore, engari no te oroko nohoanga mai 0 te pakeha ki tena kainga ki Karamaene. Ka kitea tona pai i reira—ko tona pai tenei, he tiaki he atawhai he hapai i te Ture. No te whawhai ki "Waikato ka pa te wehi ki nga pakeha katoa o Karamaene kei uru nga Maori o reira kite whawhai ka tahuri kite patu i a ratou ; na ka hihiri ratou kite haere ki Akarana 1 te wehi i a ratou. Ka puta te ki a Pita Taukaka i reira:—"Me noho tatou i to tatou kainga; kite mea ka tae mai te mate ki konei ka mate koutou ka mate hoki au." Ka tohe etahi o nga pakeha kite haere, hoatu ana e taua tangata ko tona kaipuke hei kawe i nga wahine me nga tamariki ki Akarana. He pera tonu
ana mahi tae noa kite ra i mate ai. Ka rongona te matenga e nga pakeha kaore i mutu ta ratou haere kite tangi i nga ra katoa tae noa te ra i nehua ai. Na ona hoa pakeha tuturu. o mua iho nana ia i kawe kite urupa, mete tini noa iho ote pakeha—he kawenga ake hoki no to ratou aroha ki to ratou rangatira kua mate.
