HE MAHI HOKOHOKO KI PIITII.
He ara hokohoko hou tenei ka tuwhera ki nga motu o Piitii ma nga tino taone o tenei Koroni. Kua oti he whakaritenga na te Kawanatanga ratou ko te Akarana Tima Kamupene kia whakatuwheratia e taua Karnupene te ara ki Piitii; e, wha enei haerenga kua whakaaetia hei timatanga mo te mahi, kia kotahi haerenga i roto i nga wild e ono. Te taone e rere atu ai te tima, ko Akarana, ka whaka-u ki Nepia, ki "Werengitana, ki Poti Kupa, ki Otakou te whakamutunga. Hei reira ka hoki mai ki Akarana ano, mete whaka-u haere ki aua kainga ano. Ka tae ki Akarana katahi ka rere tika tonu atu ki Piitii; te hokinga mai, ka rere mai ki Akarana ano, a ka rere kite taha Tonga, pera mete rerenga tuatahi. E tikina ana e te Karnupene he tima hou ki Ingarani, e 500 tana te ritenga o te utanga, ko te tohungatanga o te Pakeha ka whakapaua katoatia ki runga kite hanganga o taua tima. He tima rere ia ki Piitii; engari e taa ano ia kite rere ki Niu Karetonia, ki nga motu o Hamoana hoki. Ko te " Ta o te Houta " (te " Whetu o te Tonga ") te tima e tangohia ana mo taua mahi i tenei wa. Ko taua tima i rere atu i Po Neke i te 26 o Hune nei, e rere ana ki Poti Kupa, Otakou ; hei aua kainga ka hoki mai ki Akarana, ka rere atu ki Piitii. Apopo nui haere ai te mahi hoko, mahi whakawhairawa, o tenei motu me Piitii, tetahi ki tetahi, i runga i te tikanga ka tuwhera nei te ara. Ma konei hoki te ngawari atu ai i to mua tikanga te utu o te orangi ki Niu Tirani, me etahi atu hua rakau e tupu ana i nga whenua ra.
