AKU HAERENGA.
Turanganui ki Whakatu. E ki ana te pakeha he nui te matauranga e puta mai kite tangata i runga ite haere kite whenua ; ma reira hoki ka tutaki ai ia ki ia ahua ki ia ahua o te tangata, ka kite ai ia i nga mea hou, i nga mea rere ke, i nga mea whakamiharo. Kaore ahau ite mohio kite nui o te matauranga i riro mai i a au i runga i oku nei haerenga, otira ko tenei e mohio ana au, he nui te ngahau, he nui te ora o te tinana. Ka whakaatu au i nga mea i kitea e au, ehara i te mea hei whakamanamana, engari hei korero rna nga tangata kaore nei ano i kite i aua wahi, hei whakaatuatu hoki i a tatou i te iwi Maori, etahi hapu ki etahi hapu, no te mea he whanau kotahi tatou te Maori, lie teina he tuakana. I tera Oketopa ka rere atu au i Turanga ki Nepia i runga i te tima ataahua nei i a te Hirenetia. I runga kaipuke ka tupono au ki a Atirikona Rangere ( Langley ) o Poihakena, raua ko tona hoa wahine e haere ana kite marenatanga o te tamahine a Airini Tonore. I hari raua i hari hoki au i to matqu tutakitanga ano i tenei ao; no te tau 1897 ka mohio au ki a raua i Poihakena. I mea te Atirikona tino nui atu tona whakamihi ki Niu Tireni, a i mea e hiahia ana ia kite noho tonu ki konei hei mihinare kite iwi Maori. Koia nei tonu tetahi o nga tino minita o tawahi. Mahue mai raua i a au ki Nepia ka haere au ki Poneke, a waimarie ana au kite kite ite haerenga ote ope hoia tuatahi ki Taranawaara. E kore e puta he .kupu mo tenei ra nui, kua paenga katoa hoki nga korero.
I Poneke ka whakawhiti au i Raukawa, ki Picton ara ki Waitohi. Mahue mai te moana nui ka tomo haere te tima i waenganui o nga maunga ; he maha nga macro e haere ai katahi ano ka tae ki Waitohi. He awake ano te huarahi o te tima i Waitohi ki Raukawa ano, a poto nei te haerenga i te moana nui ka haere ma waenganui o nga moutere me nga kokorutanga huhua o te tuawhenua. . He Ika Tipua. Hei te tatanga atu kite Aumiti (French Pass) he kuititanga no te moana i waenganui 0 Rangitoto (D’Urville Island) mete tuawhenua, ka whakapiri tetahi ika tipua ki to matou tima he taniwha pea. He ma katoa taua ika, 17 putu te roa. E kiia ana ka 15 pea tau o te nohoanga 0 tenei ika i tenei wahi, kaore ana haere ke atu, heoi ano he tatari tonu ki nga tima hei hoa takaro mona. 1 te mea e tere tonu ana te rere a te Takapuna ka haere tonu taua ika i mua ko tona hiku ki te hauhau haere i te ihu o te tima. Muringa iho ka oma haere i te taha, ano e tauwhainga ana kite tima, engari i etahi wa ka tuoma mai ia ka tuki i te taha o te tima. Ki kona umere ai te tangata e kore rawa taua ika e aro ake. Ka tae ano pea ki tana taima i whakaaro ai ka hoki whakamuri, katahi ka haere kite whakatau i a te Korina i muri tata atu i a te Takapuna e rere mai ana. E kiia ana ko te Wainui te tino hemonga o te ika nei. He tino mokaikai tenei na te pakeha, kua whai turetia hoki e te Kawana kia kaua rawa e patua e te tangata. Kua huaina tona ingoa ko “ Pelorus Jack.” ■ ' - . Whakatu. He mea whakamiharo ano te tomonga o te tima ma te Aumiti, he wahi whaiti rawa, e kore e puta nga tima ririki e rua kite haere tahi. I kiia ai pea ko te Aumiti he tino kaha no te au o taua wahi. Kite he te tai ka pena tonu me tetahi taheke, e kore rawa te tima e puta. Te putanga atu i te Aumiti ka maro te rere a te tima ki Whakatu (Nelson). He taone tino ataahua a Whakatu, he pai hoki nga pakeha, he atawhai kite Maori. Kei tenei taone etahi pakeha e tino aroha ana kite Maori, nui atu to ratou whakaaro, to ratou aroha kite iwi Maori i o nga pakeha e kite tonu nei i te Maori i nga ra katoa, i nga pakeha ranei i ata whakaritea hei kai-whakaako 1 te Maori. Koia nei te taone i manaaki nei i nga tamariki o Te Aute i to ratou taenga ki reira kite purei whutu-pooro, a i tangi nei etahi i to ratou hokinga mai. Koia nei te
kainga i whakatupuria ai, i whakaakona ai a Perere Peneti, no te kaumatuatanga nei ka tapaea kite Hahi Maori. Kei konei hoki a Riwai Hiwinui e whakatupuria peratia ana me Perere Peneti. A koia nei te kohanga i paopao ai, i whanau ai, i whangainga ai, i tioro tuatahi ai te reo reka o te manu a te iwi ara o Te Pipiwharauroa. 41 Whakarongo ake ai au kite tangi aTe Pipiwharauroa e.. .. ! Whiti-whiti-ora, taku ngakau nawa e.. .. !” ( Tana e whakaoti.) Na Tipi-whenua.
