HE RU KINO.
ITE 16 o Noema nei ka puta tetalii ru nui ki Cheviot he kainga kei waenganui o Kaikoura me Otautahi. Na te mea i puta i te awatea i kore ai e hinga he parekura tangata, tena koa kotahi ano te tupapaku he tamaiti i tamia i te horonga o te whare. I te mea kua pakaru te whare i te oioi tonu hoki o te whenua ka tu tonu nga matua i waho mete awhi tonu a te wahine i tana potiki ka mataotao ra. Na te kitenga a tetahi minita ka tangohia ka whakatakotoria kite whare karakia. Kore rawa tetahi tumera kotahi o taua taone i tu, i horo katoa, he maha nga whare i pakaru, kore rawa he whare kotahi i rite mo te nohoia e te tangata, heoi noho tonu te tangata i waho te wahine te tamariki. I horo etahi pari, i panuku tetahi kurae, i pakaru te whenua, titore ana nga huarahi. I titore tetahi awa, ka heke te wai, no te kapititanga ka whakahokia ake ano, ko te pupuhatanga kite rangi. Kotahi te tupapaku, he takuta, i hurihia e te ru ki waho ote kawhena. Ko te hanga aroha ia ko te wahine kite noho i waho i te makariri i te ua; he tokomana i haere ki etahi kainga. Kite whakaaro kei waenganui i te £ IO,OOO mete 20,000 te utu o nga mea i pakaru—o nga whare, o nga taonga. Ehara i te mea ko tenei taone anake i taea e te ru, i pa katoa ki nga taone o Kanatipere, tae rawa ki Otautahi engari kaore i kaha te
putanga ki enei wahi. Mehemea i kaha te ru ki Otautahi kite taone nui, kei reira nei ima whare kohatu nunui e tino nui te mate tena koa i waimarie te kahanga ki nga taone ririki, Te aitua nui ko te pakarutanga o te tihi o te whare karakia nui o Otautahi. Ko te rua tenei o nga pakarutanga. I te ru i te tan 1888 ka whati; ite whakahounga e £Soo te utu ; ka pera ano te utu ina hanga ano. No Hanuere 23, 1855, ka puta he ru ki Riritana ki Otautahi, ki Whakatu ki Poneke, i Poneke te kahanga. No Akuhata 17, 1868, ka puta ano he ru, i puta ano tenei ru ki Amerika ki Tonga i mate ai ki reira te 25000 tangata, i eke ai kite £60,000,000 te utu o nga mea i pakaru. No Tihema 5, 1881 ka makere te kohatu o te tihi o te whare karakia nui o Otautahi. No Hanuere 9, 1886 ko te Kotomahana. No Hepetema 14, 1888 ka whati te tihi o te whare karakia i Otautahi.
