KOHURUTANGA KEI PETIKATI.
I tae mai tetahi kaipuke ki Akarana, no Piitii, i te mutunga o Pepuere kua taha ake nei. Eki ate Taima, nupepa o Piitii, no te rerenga mai o te Mariana Reni (kaipuke) i Tana, ka tutaki taua kaipuke i tetahi kaipuke i te moana, ko te Miteri te ingoa. I korero mai te Kapene o te Miteri kite patunga o tetahi Pakeha no te Heta Pere kaipuke. 1 patua kite taha kite hauauru ote motu o Aopa. I hopungia taua Pakeha e nga tangata o taua motu, patua ana, kainga ana. E pera ana me nga Maori o tenei motu te tu o aua tangata. Ite taenga ote Miteri ki Petikati ka tukua te poti ki uta; kaore i hoki mai taua poti. Katahi ka waihape haere te Miteri, tae atu ana kite wahi iuai te poti ki uta; kite atu ana e takoto paepae ana te poti i tatahi. Titiro rawa atu e hikitia ana te tinana o tetahi Pakeha ote poti ki roto kite ngaherehere e nga tangata whenua ; ko te Mua te ingoa o taua Pakeha, kua mate, kua tangohia nga kahu, e hikitia ana ko te kiri kau. Xotahi te tangata i kitea i tatahi e ahu ana kite taha raki, engari kaore i mohiotia ite pouri he mangumangu he Pakeha ranei. Katahi ka rerere haere i reira taua kaipuke ite po. Ko nga taha ote kaipuke i peitatia kite peita pango (he ma ia i mua ai), i peratia kia he ai aua Maori ki taua kaipuke, me i kore e taea te whakaora i etahi o nga tangata o te poti. Ite ata ka rere ki uta te kaipuke, ka rerere i reira po noa te rangi; kotahi te heramana Pakeha i eke mai ki runga, i haere mai ia i Piitii, kaore ia i mohio ki taua kohurutanga. Katahi ka hoehoe haere te rua o nga poti i te taha tonu o te one, kaore i kitea nga Pakeha o te poti tuatahi, ko taua poti i kitea kua toia ki ro ngahere e nga mangumangu. I kitea aua mangumangu e mui ana ki ruuga ki taua poti, mete popokorua e mui ana ki runga kite kakano witi. Ka noho tonu te Miteri apo noa; no te korenga e kitea nga tangata i ngaro, katahi ka rere kite moana, ka haere i tana haere kite kimi i tetahi kaipuke manuwao (hei whiu rapea i taua iwi). Ko nga iwi mangumangu o Aopa e ki ana kai te whawhai ratou kite iwi mohoao o uta nana i patu i tera tangata o te Heta Pere, ara i te wahi i mate ai nga tangata ote Miteri. Kaore i tata mai aua tangata kite poti. I tetahi kainga iuai te Miteri, iki mai nga tangata whenua kia tupato nga Pakeha o te kaipuke ki nga iwi o te kainga i mate ai aua Pakeha, no te mea kua pupuhi ratou ki nga poti a etahi atu kaipuke e rua.
