HE AITUA NO TE MOANA.
NO pa ra \hakamutupa o Hepetema nei ka pakaru tetahi o pa raanuao o te Wiwi, tetahi mate nui tenei no taua iwi, no te mea i mate tagata, i mate moni, i mate taoga. He manuao nui taua manuao, he manuao hou tonu hoki. Kaore e tino mohiotia te putake mai o te aitua, ko te take mai ra o taua mea he ahi i ka kite \hare takotoraga o pa paura, egari ko te putake mai 0 taua ahi kaore e mohiotia. Tera ano tetahi atu o pa manuao i kagia e te ahi i taua wa, egari kaore i nui te aitua o tera. Kati te \hakaaro no tera te ahi, i rere mai pea he kora tau ana ki te wahi i pa paura o tenei, ko te pakutaga i paku ai. Kite korero a etahi o pa tagata i' ora mai i taua aitua i ka noaiho taua ahi ki pa paura, i te nui rawa o te wera o taua ra. Kaore e tino marama ko te rhea' o enei te mea tika. Tena ia ko te aitua, tetahi aitua nui atu. I te pakutaga tuatahi ka rhakahaua Ida heke etahi o pa tagata ki raro kite rhakaki i te wahi putupa o pa paura kite 7 ai, otira kore rawa pa tapata i kaha i te wehi kei mate i te kaahi i te wa e main ana i reira. Ko tetahi o pa tagata rhakahaere i pa mihini (engineer) i vhakamatau kite tuku wai ki roto ki taua wahi, egari kaore ia i roa e mahi ana ko te pakutaga ano i tino pakaru ai taua manuao. I te kiteataga ra kaore e taea terhakaki te rhare paura kite wai ka \hakahaua pa tapata Ida \hakarere i te tima. No tenei wa, i a ratou e hekeheke atu ana, ko te pakutaga nui i pakaru ai te tima i mate ai te nuipa o te tagata. Ragona atu ana taua pakutaga i tetahi wahi e 30 maero te taihiti. 1 te pakarutapa \hakamutuga i hikitiatapatia tetahi tahi wahi nui o te tima rere ana kite ragi, te hekepa iho tau tonu iho ki ruga i pa tagata e mea ana kite \hakarere i te tima, he tini noa iho pa mea i mate. Hui katoa pa mea i mate e 216. Ko etahi o pa heeramana e haere ana kite purei rhutupooro, no etahi atu manuao era. I te pakutaga tuatahi ka mahue ta ratou haere kite purei ka haere ke mai kite arhina i pa mea e aitua ana. Ko te nuipa o aua taga i mate katoa i te pakarutapa \hakamutupa. Ko te tagata i \hakamatau ra kite tuku wai ki tetahi o pa rhare paura kaore i mate rawa, epari kei te Hohipera e takoto ana. I tae rawa te Tumuaki o te iwi, ara to ratou na kipi, kite Hohipera kite vhakamau i te tohu
honore ki tona poho mo tona toa. Te nui o pa paura i ruga i taua tima 125 tana. Tetahi ra nui i taua rhenua te ra i nehuaai pa tupapaku i ketea, kore rawa tetahi o aua tagata i mohiotia. I tae ki taua nehupa etahi o pa ragatira o pa iwi katoa, hei kawe i te aroha o o ratou na iwi kite iwi ote Wiwi mo tenei aitua nui.
