DEATH OF HAPURONA.
The following is from the Taranaki News:—" This chief, known as Ngawakawawe before he was known as Hapurona, and as Tuahuterangi while he was a Hau Hau, the greatest Maori general that fought against us, died on Thursday last, the 26th February, at the Te Arei blockhouse, where he has been permitted to reside for more than a twelvemonth. He was seriously ill for a month previous to his death, and for a month before that. His father was a Taranaki chief, Pukewhao, of Pukerimu; his mother was a Ngatiawa, of Pukerangiora, of the same stock as its chief, "Whatitiri, and sister of Nepetarima, of Pekatu. It was probably this relationship that located Hapurona at Pukerangiora, from whence he escaped when it was taken by the Waikatos, without going into slavery. He was a clever man, and a spirited orator. He leaves one son, Horopapera."
