HE PUIA KEI RARO I TE MOANA.
Ko te Panui ote Teme, nupepa, eki ana; —" Tena te korero ahuareka na Kapene Mekenehi o te "Kenewate," kaipuke kune nei, e whakaatu mai ana i tetahi mea miharo nui kua kitea i te moana e nga tangata katoa i runga i taua kune i te 30 o nga ra o Aperira, i waenga o nga *motu e rua, a Tonga a Haapui, he motu kei te taha whakarua o Niu Tirani. Ite ata rawa ka kitea te wai e kokiri ake ana i te moana, a i kapi katoa taua wahi ite mamaoa. No te tatanga atu o taua kune ka tata ki taua mea, katahi ka ata kitea he mea nui rawa he matotoru rawa te tinana o te wai e kokiri ake ana, ka taea te kotahi rau putu te teitei katahi ka tuwhera ka heke iho ano kite moana a waho, mete kaha tonu te kokiri ake a roto —pai ana tera. Na te nui ote mamaoa ka mohiotia he wai werawera ia. Na reira hoki i kore ai e tata rawa atu te kune nei kite taha rawa. I pena tonu te ahua o taua mea a toremi noa atu te kaipuke ra. Sua kitea e nga tangata haere moana, ko nga motu iti i taua wahi o te moana kaore e tumau ana tona ahua, he mea ano kua heke iho tetahi wahi, he mea ano kua haere ake ki runga. He puia hoki pea, he ahi whanariki, kei rare e panapana ake ana. Ko taua mea miharo nui i kitea e Kapene Mekenehi, he pera ano he puia. E hara ite mea e kitea auautia ana te puia e mahi ake ana i raro i te wai—he mea kifcenga kotahi ia o mua iho."
