WHAKAMOMORITANGA O TETAHI RANGATIRA MAORI.
Ko te nupepa o Tauranga e ki ana:—" Kua tae mai ki a te Waapiriki inanahi tetahi korero no Maketu, na te waea mai, he whakaatu mai ki a ia i te whakamomoritanga o tetahi taitamariki rangatira whakaaro tika, i Richmond, Matata, in the Ratapu, kua taha nei, (te 6 o Hune) —ko Hemana Taranui te ingoa. Kaore ano kia ata rongo matou ki tana mea, engari ko te mate kua mate rawa, he mea pupuhi i a ia ki te pu, mate rawa ana. He iramutu ia ki ate Pokiha, he rangatira kei Maketu e noho ana, engari i noho ia, a Hemana, i tona matua hungawai a Arama Karaka Mokonuiarangi, te rangatira rongo nui rongo pai o Ngatirangitihi e noho tata ana ki Matata. He wahine ano ta Hemana, he tamariki ano hoki, i mahue kite ao nei.
Kua timata te malii a Ngatiwhakaue kite rori ki Uotorua ki Tarawera, ki waenganui o Ohinemutu o te piriti ki Puringa. Kia oti taua mahi heoi, lcua oti rawa te rori haere atu i Ohinemutu ki Tikitapu. Ko te Pei o Pereneti Tctima, nupepa o Tauranga, o te 12 o Hune, e ki ana: —" I puhia tetahi manu peiliana i tetahi o nga ra o te wild kua taha nei, i roto i te maara oti matomato e kalnga ana ete whe. No te tuakanga ka tauria 155 nga whe i roto i te puku o te korokoro, he kowhitiwhiti etahi, he piliareina etahi. !N"a, kia te kau ma rua pea o nga manu penei, tena te tini whaioio o te ngarara e pau i a ratou i roto i nga marama kotahi te kau! Me whakaaro te tangata e rua
tonu nga marama o te tau e kai ai ngapeihana i nga kai, ara ko te marama koanga mete marama kotinga. He whanoke ano ia, engari lie nui te pai o tana mahi mo te tangata mahi paamu." Ko te nupepa o Tauranga e ki ana, lie rongo whakahari te rongo korero mai o Taupo, tera e ahuareka ki taua korero nga tangata katoa e whakaaro pai ana kite iwi Maori. Ivoia enei nga korero ■ na, he mea tango mai na matou i roto i te reta a tetahi Pakeha i tuhia mai i Taupo i te 6 o Hune, ara: —" He nui te manaaki a nga Maori o tenei takiwa i te Peeke Tiaki Moni hou nei, i te Potapeta kua whakaturia i Tapuaeharuru i mua tata ake nei. Ko to hoa ko te Poihipi te Maori tuatahi kite kawe moni ki taua Peeki takoto ai. Muri iho ka tu te hui o tona iwi, a whakaotia ana i taua hui kia mahi nui te iwi i te oti, i te witi, i te aha noa, i tenei tau ; ka mutu tena ka tahuri ratou kite kani rakau hei hanga whare nohoanga mo ratou ake ano. Ko a ratou moni reti, aha atu, me tiaki tonu hei kawe ma ratou ki taua Peeke whakaputu ai; ko te kai waipiro me whakarere. Ko te Poinipi te tangata whakahau i taua tikanga, ko ia te upoko o te mahi. E pai ana kia ata tutuki ana whakaaro me ana hiahia ki runga ki taua mahi." He mea kapi mai tenei no te ILaalce JPei Eerara, nupepa o Nepia, he tangata no Ngaruroro nana i tuhituhi mai ki taua nupepa:— <£ He mate whakapouri i puta ki konei i te ata o te Turei kua taha nei (Hune 22) —mate rawa ana i rote wai tetahi taitamariki Maori, he tama na Rauiaka. Tokotoru ratou nga tamariki tane i haere kite kohikohi wahie paewai nei i roto ite awa o Ngaruroro.
