Ma tenci whakaritenga, ka taea c nga Maori o te Wairoa te hoki tonu atu ki a ratou kainga, wlrmga ai te JS'io'h anga o ti Koo'.i ki ta ratou ake takiwa. E pai ana niehemea ka kore auo e peneitia te whakararuraru ,i nga Maori; e r;ia hoki ngamatcnga ma ratou. Tetahi ko te liaeranga nun i te whenua tawhiti, tetahi ko te pau noniho o a ratou rawa, i te haerc noa mai ki Heihitingi noho ai."
