He Whawhai ki tetahi Taika. —Na tetahi kaituhituhi Nupepa o Kitinga, kei Penerewheinia, Amerika, i tuhituhi enei korero, o te patunga o tetahi taika, i roto i nga maunga o reira. Tokotoru nga Kai-whakangau i whakatika atu kite kimi i taua kuri nei, he huarahi ano to tenei, he huarahi ano to tenei, a i whakaritea ano e ratou tetahi wahi, he rakau nui, i waenga ngahere, hei tutakinga mo ratou. Na ko tetahi o ratou, ko Anahona te ingoa, kua 100 iari pea tona tatanga atu kite wahi i whakaritea ra e ratou hei huihuinga mo ratou, ka whakaaro ia kite haere ki roto i tetahi awa-avva ururua kimi haere ai, na, i tona taenga atu ki raro i tetahi pari, e tupou haere atu ana hold ia, e kuhu haere ana hoki ma raro i te ururua, ka rongo ake ia i te haruru nui, kaore i taro, ehara, kua mau nga matihao o tetahi kuri ki tona kaki mete ngunguru mai hoki o taua kuri nei. Hohoro rawa ia kite hopu ite korokoro o taua kuri nei, na kua mau; penei tonu mete kuku pupuri rino a te parakimete te kaha o tana pupuri. Ka ngaua raua, a, kua tae kite wahi watea, no te taenga ki reira, ka makere ite tangata rate kaki ote Taika, aka mea te Taika kite ngau i tona kaki. Heoi kua mau te ringa o te tangata ra ano ki tona naihi, na, kua tu te poho o te kuri ra ; ka whakangunguru kau mai te kuri i runga i te kaha o ta raua whawhai
hinga taM atu ana raua kite whenua hurihuri ha ere ai; ia raua e penei ana ka torn nga ngaunga o nga niho ote kuri ra ki tona pakihiwi. JS"a, kuarangona mai e ona lioa whakangau te ngungu.ru a taua kuri, ka oma mai raua kite wahi e nokenoke mai ra to raua hoa mete taika. Kaore i roa te whawhai, kua tu ano te naihi a Anahona kite tinana ote kuri ra heoi taka atu ana, kua mate. Katahi ka tirohia e nga kaiwhakangau ka kitea e ratou he tino taika nui whakaharah.ara taua kuri nei, ko tona taimaha kotahi rau e wha tekau ma ono pauna, ko tona roa, haunga te whiore, e 4 putu e 5 inihi mete hawhe, te roa o te whiore e 2 kutu 1 inihi, tona teitei me ka tu, e 2 putu e 8 inihd—he kuri tino kaha rawa atu. E whitu mano rapeti i patua ki runga ki tetahi rana hipi i Murihiku, Otakou, i roto i nga marama e wha o te tau 1874, a kahore i iti iho i te 10,000 nga mea i patua ki tetahi atu rana, he mea tu tata mai ki tera, i taua wa ano o te tau 1874. Kua mohiotia inainei e kainga ana e nga tangata o Ingarani, nga rapeti e toru te kail miriona i roto i te tau kotahi. Kua nekehia atu te nohoanga o te Paremete kite 20 o nga ra o Hurae, a kua karangatia nga mema kia nohc Euihui ratou a taua ra. j
