TE KOHURUTANGA I TE KINGI O ITARI.
No te 30 o nga ra o Hurae ka puhia kohurutia a Kingi Hamupeta o Itari e tetahi Itariana ko Perehi te ingoa. Oho ana nga iwi katoa i te ohorere o tenei kohuru. I puhia te kingi ki tetahi taone i te hauraro o Itari, i a ia e tomo ana ki tona hariata i te mutunga o tana matakitaki ki tetahi takaro whakatutu. E umere ana tona iwi he whakanui i a fe, katahi ka whakatata atu a Perehi, ka maunu te pu hurihuri, e torn pakutanga, e toru hoki
nga mata ki roto kite tinana ote kingi, kotahi te mata itu ki tsna manawa. I tona tuunga ka karanga te kingi, “ Kaore noa iho,” otira ahakoa tere noa te haringa i a ia ki tona whare, e amohia atu ana ia i te kuwaha ka hemo. I mahara a Kuini Makarita i taotu noa iho tona tane, otira no te whakinga atu a te takuta kua mate, ka aue mete karanga ano: “ Ko te tino hara nui whakaharahara tenei o enei tau kotahi rau. He tangata pai a Hamapeta, he tangata pono; i tino aroha ia ki te iwi. Kahore rawa ana kino ki tetahi tangata kotahi.” Tata tonu a Perehi ka haehaea e te mano o te tangata i mua atu o te hopukanga a nga pirihiraana. I mea taua tangata, heoi ano te take i kohurutia ai e ia a Kingi Hamupeta he kino nona ki tenei iwi kite kingi. He tangata ke ano i whakaritea hei patu i te kingi, engari no te matenga o taua tangata ka tu ko ia hei whakrScapi. E wha nga kingi, kuini, kei te toe hei patunga, ko te Emepara o Tiamana tetahi. I whakatupato ano te kingitanga o Ahitiria i te kingi o Itari, otira kihai taua kingi i pai kia tiakina ia e nga hoia, he whakaaro nona kaore he tangata e kino ki a ia. Ko te tama a te kingi, raua ko tona hoa wahine i runga iata ke e haereere ana i te Moana Nui, kaati kua tonoa he kaipuke kite kimi. Ko taua tangata hei kingi mo Itari i muri i tona papa. Na tenei iwi na te Itariana nga kohuru kino rawa. I te tau 1894 ka kohurutia e te Itariana te Tumuaki o te Wiwi, a Kaano, i taua tau ano kote Pirimia o Itari ko Hikinoa Kirihipi, engari kaore i mate. Ite tau 1898 ka okaia te kuini ataahua o Ahitiria ki Huitirana. Ko Itari te take tuturu ote Hahi o Roma. I enei kotahi rau tau kua pahure ake nei ka 57 nga kingi nga kuini i whaia kia whakamatea, ka iwa ano nga mea i tino mate rawa. Nui rawa atu te tangi o Itari katoa mo to ratou rangatira i katohia nei e te ringa kino kei te taua katoa taua whenua; otira kei te pouri katoa nga mana o te ao. Tino nui atu te tangi o Kuini Wikitoria raua ko tana tama kite matenga oto raua hoa. I tino whakahoa a Kingi Hamupeta ki Ingarangi. I te maunga o Tianara Koroni o te Poa i a Tianara Rapata na taua kingi raua ko te kingi o Tiapani nga waea tuatahi whakamihi atu ki ate Kuini. Kua riro ano ta tatou nei waea tangi atu kite pouaru ate kingi o Itari. I patua mai te waea i Roma : “ I te ktngi e takoto ana i runga i te ata-mira kei te mimingo kata tonu te ahua o tona mata.”
