TE TUPEKA I TE TAHA KI WHAKATANE.
(No te Pei o Pureti Taima) He mea tuhi mai tenei korero nei no Opotiki mo te mahi whakatupu tupeka i taua takiwa:- "Tenei te mahi kei kouei e pai ai nga tikanga hoko o te tupeka i tenei wahi. Ara, ko nga tupeka kua tiria ki konei e Kotihi (Pakeha), a e mea ana kia hangaia taua tupeka ki konei ano. E tika ana te whakapai ki a te Kotihi mo tana tohe me tona uaua kite whakatu i taua mahi Kei mahi tuturu ki konei. He tangata matau rawa ia kite whakatupuranga mete mahinga o taua taru o te tupeka ; a no tona tirohanga ki tenei kainga, mohio tonu.ia kaore he wahi pai atu i tenei i te motu katoa hei mahinga mo te tupeka. No reira ka hoko ia i tetahi wahi whenua i Ohiwa, ka tiri i ■etahi tupeka i kojia. Mahara noa ia ma nga Maori e ranea ai he tupeka hei mahinga mana. Tohe noa ia kia tiri nui ratou i te torore, mana e hoatu he kakano, mana e whakaatu ite mahinga. Otira kihai ratou i pumau ki a ratou korero. Heoi, no te ki-tt-nga e kore e tika he mahi mana ki kona, katahi ia ka haere mai ki Opotiki, tiri tonu iho i the maara tupeka ki konei, a pai rawa ana te tupu. Ka mahia katoatia e ia taua tupeka i tenei tau; aki te 'mea ka ritete pai kite tupeka i mahia eia ki Ohiwa, akuanei kua koree paingia nga tino tupeka o Amerika i tenei wahi."
