HE WHAKAMAUMAHARA.
HE nui te pouri i pa mai ki a matou i to matou rongonga kua mate a Mihi VViremu, te hoa vVahine o te Atirikona Hamiora Wiremu. I kai tahi ratou ko tana whanau i te ahiahi o te Hatarei, otira i te ata o te Ratapu, te 25 o nga ra, i te torn karaka, ka mawehe atu ia ki tona Kai whak£J°r?'. . Te tmo P° uri nui mo te Atirikona • 1 Heihitingi ke ia, i haere kite karakia i nga Maori, ka moe atu tona hoa i muri i a ia a na tetahi o ana tamariki ia i tiki i whakahoki mai kite whare ka ngaro nei te rangatira o roto. E kore e nui rawa a matou kupu mo tenei hakui, te hoa mo nga tau e 54 o tetahi o nga kaumatua, o nga matua ote iwi Maori. I kite ia i te ahua o te iwi Maori i nga ra o mua, i te wa e ururua tonu ana te Motu kaore he huarahi, kaore he tima, kaore he rerewe ; i te wa i whakatupuria ai tana tamahine i roto ite whare raupo. Ko tana tino mahi ko te tiaki i tona rangatira kia kaha ai, kia roa ai nga ra, e mahi ana kite iwi Maori. Ka riro ia ka waiho iho eia tona rangatira, ona tamariki, ona mokopuna, mete tini ote hoa, hei tangi i a ia, ka ngaro nei i ona taumata iTe Aute. No te ahiahi o te Mane ka nehua a Mihi Wiremu kite urupa iTe Aute. He nui nga hoa 1 huihui mai, nga tangata rangatira o Nepia me nga tamariki katoa o Te Aute, ko ratou tonu i muri mai i te whanau a Te Wiremu. Na Rev. Aata Wiremu i whakahaere te karakia. E rua nga himene, he himene pakeha he himene Maori. Te himene Maori- i waiatatia e nga tamariki o Te Aute:— “ Piko nei te matenga, Tau mai ko te pouri nui ; E te Tama a te Atua, Tenei arohaina mai. Ngaro nei o matou hoa, Riro atu kite po ; Tangihia i muri nei, Tenei arohaina mai.”
