Ka tata te riro te taimahatanga e tami nei i te poho o tenei motu manawa-nui; ka ripaia te mate o te motu nei, ara ka panaa atu enei Minita i to ratou turanga. Na nga mahi whakahaere hee me nga mahi wairangi rawa hoki a te upoko o aua minita, me tona tangata a te Hihana, i waiho ai te'Kawanatanga o tenei motu hei taunutanga mo te tangata, i tenei koroni ano i etahi atu motu hoki. Oho ana nga tangata ata whakaaro, liee ana te manawa ite tirolianga atu; maliara ana ki nga mahi kuare, wairangi, a taua tokorua i nga hui Maori ite kainga o te Kingi, i tea atu, he mahi na te porangi rawa. Hei ra iupiri nui mo Niu Tirani katoa te ra e turaknia ai enei minita. Ka hinga ratou apopo ake nei, tera e tono a Ta Hori Kerei kia pakarutia te Paremete e te Kawana kia pootitia houtia nga mema, kia whai takiwa ai hoki ia, ratou ko ona akonga, e haereere ai ano ratou i te motu kauwhau haere ai kite whakawai i nga tangata ki to ratou reo reka. Otira he whakaroa kau ia i te mamae, he maumau kau hoki i nga moni ote motu kite whakahaere ite mahi pootitanga. Kua mohiotia aTa Hori Kerei inaianei. Ahakoa he kupu ata tataku marire
ana kupu, lie red whakaaroha kite inio kite iwi, me he mea ka whakaae te Kawana kia pakaru te Pareinete, tera e kotahi ano te whakaaro o te motu kite \vhakahe ki a Kerei. Kua nui rawa ana kupu whakaae tikanga ki nga iwi e rua ano kihai i mana noa > ko toua kaha-koretanga kua kitea ete katoa; ko tona mahi rupahu i runga i nga tikanga o te motu e korerotia tonutia ana ete ngutu; no kotifei kite inea ka tu lie pootitanga nui mo te motu, katahi ka nui rawa aim tona raru ito tenei ra, ara ka lieke rawa iho ia i tona turanga. Naj mo te taha ki ate Hiliana. Ko a matou kupu poropiti o mua iho 1 roto ite "Waka nei mo tana tnahi whakahaere i nga tikanga Maori; kua poho katoa. Ko tenei kila nui atu tona raru me tona hee i ta matou i whakaaro ai, 2fa tona maid whakakake rawa i a ia, na tona mahl whakahihi marire* i nui rawa ai te'whakatakariri a te tangata mo ana kupu inaha kaore e whakamana ana; Ko tona Whakaaro whakakake 1a ia tetahi take i hee ai ia. He iwi inohio te iwi Maori; ano te timatanga ra and o tana inahi Kawanatanga 1 whakaaro tupato ai ratou ki a ia ; inaianei kua mohio rawa ratou ki tona ahua, a hoha ana ki aia me ana mahi whakakake. B kore matou e tino kii kaote ia i tohe kite whakamana i etahi o ana korero whakakake i puta i aia i tera huinga o te Paremetei Engari he mahi uaua te mahi i tokoto i mua i a ia hei mahinga mana ; na te j nui rawa o ana kupu i ruia haeretia ki roto ki nga Maori kia mahia e ia etahi mahi pai mo ratou i tino uaua ai he mahi mana, tetahi na te tini o nga kupu i puaki i a raua ko Kerei mo te nui rawa o to raua aroha kite iwi Maori, no kona nga Maori ka tohe kia tukua etahi tikanga maha ki a ratou e kore e ahei te hoatu e ia. Eli ta matou whakaaro kaore rawa he tainariki Pakeha o tenei motu o mua iho i rite ki a te Hihana te whiwhi tikanga e ahei ai ia te whakanui i te rongo o tona ingoa eke, e tu ai hoki ia hei tino kai-whakaora mo tona motou Kua puta ano ra tona rongo me tona ingoa i te motu nei, otira he ingoa pewhea ia P Ehara rawa i te ingoa e whakapaingia iana e ona hoa Maori nei anoi, e kii nei ia kite motu he tangata" mana nui ia ki a ratou. Na te mea i toia ia e Ta Hori Kerei hei Minita Maori i tino hee ai ia ; i kore ai ia e taxi hei tangata mahi tika i nga "mahi Paremete. E kore rawa ia e mahi pono i nga mahi ote motu a muri ake nei; e kore e riro tona ngakau ki runga ki nga mahi liui e ora ai te motu ; e kore e puta tona kaha ki tena ara. Tena e koingo tonu tona iigakau ki nga kai reka o tona turanga minita; tana, mea tena e wawata ai> engari kua mutu "inaianei, e kore e hoki mai ki a ia taua mahi-. Na Kerei tenei hee. Nana i kino ai tena tangata; na Kerei iai kokiri kite turanga minita i wairangi ai ona whakaaro. Me i kore kua waiho pea ia hei tangata mahi tika mo te motu. Aue ! te pohehe o tenei hanga, o te tangata-. Otira kia koa tatou ki enei tangata ngoikore ka "tata nei te hinga, Kia hari tatou ki nga Minita hou Minita rangatira, ka tata nei te tu ; me to ratou upoko rangitira, mohio* whakaaro tika, aTa Wire-
mu Pokiha—lie Mlnita rapea ratou e kore ai he take hei whakamatanga mo te motu.
