TAURANGA.
No te Nupepa o Tauranga. 15 o Hanuere. Ko Petera Koikoi, he tangata Maori kaumatua, kua kohurutia e etahi Maori tokotoru o te iwi o Whangarewa. I mahara nga tangata he tohunga makutu ia, i kiia nana i whaiwhaia etahi tangata i mate i mua tata ake nei. Ko te whakapae mona i muri nei e ki ana nana i makutu a te Ninihi, i mate
i tetahi rangi atu nei. Heoi, ite Hatarei Ira haere atu i "Whangamata etahi Maori tokotoru ka liaere ki Tairua, te kainga o taua kaumatua tohunga nei. Ka kite ia i aua tangata ka ui ia meliemea kua mate a te Ninihi. Ka ki atu ratou, ae, kua mate. Katahi ia ka ki atu, "He haere mai pea ta koutou he patu i au" ; katahi ia ka hongi ki a ratou, a ka haere katea ratou ki tetahi paparikauta. Ka kai ratou katoa i reira ite waipiro ka ahua haurangi. Katahi ka tonoa te kaumatua ra kia eke ia ki runga ki tetahi poti. Katahi ka tokona te poti ki waho atu, ka matara atu i te whenua ka atu ratou ki taua kaumatua kia unuhia tona potae; unubia ana e ia, katahi ka whakarerea atu te patiti, taahi ano kite upoko, mate tonu iho. Ko te tinana i inauria ki "Whangamata, nehua ana e nga whanaunga o taua kaumatua. Kaore e mohiotia ana nga ingoa o aua tangata kohuru.
