"Ko te ringaringa o te hunga mahi, hei hopu i te taonga." HOROMONA.
E aue ana nga pakeha o tenei wahi, o Hokianga, i tenei ra, i tenei ra, mo te mea, ka hono tonu te haerenga mai o nga tangata maori, kite tiki utu mo "nga taiepa kua wawahia e te kau; mo nga mara ano hoki kua pareho te kai. Ahakoa nohinohi ake nei ano te kainga, kia wbakaharahara noaatu ano nga utu, ka pai ratou, a, kite mea ekore e whakaae te Pakeha, ka mea ratou, kia puhia nga kau! A i tenei raarama kuapahure, i puhia tetahi o "Penelanga" e te "Hukutu," otiia i tu kau, kihai i mate. Ka poka ke a Te Manama, ka haere mai nga tangata ngakau apo, no te Rarawa, i a Papabia ma, ka tono ki etalii paraikete. ki nga kaho paura, kite tupeka, kite hate, kite aha, ki te aha, e taea ranei te tatau ? Whakaaro ana te Pakeha ra, kahore i maha rawa nga mea i pareho i nga kau, ka mea atu ia " kia kotahi tekau ma rua hate hei utu," tahuri ke ana nga tangata maori, ka hurihia nga karu ki runga kite rangi, aka meinga e aua mangere kino, kia kawea kite Kai Wakawa, mana e whakariterite. Tohe noa atu ana matou kia hanga i nga taiepa, kia pai, ka mea tonu mai, " he kau hoki to matou, to nga maori? he poaka kau ra to matou." Katahi ano toku kupu mangere! E mea ma, ekore tenei iwi e whakama ? kahore he rakau o te ngahere ? kahore he makahi o tenei motu hei wawahi?
kahore he toki, hei tua ? kahore he ringaringaj hei hoe i te waka? kahore lie pokohiwi hei anw> mai ki uta ? Nohea hoki na ratou! Tifoha kite ahua, he mea mate ra, e kore e taea te ogoki atu kite whakaara i te taiepa, hikaka rioa nga waewae, a hirorerore aha tehaere; koiahoki u a ratou, ka tango noa mai nga mea taratara rahi kau ake i te to kakaho, a kei te whatianga ringa pea te roroa ■o etahi, ko te tianga kei runga kau, engari te "kura o Maui" e ngoto ana. "Waihoki te hohou ekore e pa te taringa o te kau, tiraru ke ana, ko reira tomo atu ai o ratou poaka ki te kai, a ko reira ama hunga i ngaua noatia ra e te turoro haere ad kite pakeha; ka tirohia atu, me he tahataha pari, tara tonu te oma, a heoi te noa o te arero ki waho, kite tohe utu. He aha nana i mate ai i te mea e hanga taiepa nei., he aha i ora ai, e hari ai, i te pakarutanga o nga taiepa <e te kau 1 Aua hoki; kei a ratou ano te rilenga. Kia mea atu ahau ki a koutou e te Whanau I e rau ana iwi i kati rate taiepa hianga, maumau tau oranga kia pareho i te kau, i te poaka, a, maumau ano hoki te taonga o te pakeha, kia hoatu mo nga otaota i kai ai te kau. Ko tetahi tenei o nga mea, hei whakarawakore to taua whenua, a e whakatakariri ai koutou, me to pakeha katoa ano hoki. [Tika tonu tenei pukapuka a te Kai Tuhi i Hokianga ki a matou, he rawa ratou i tohe -utu mo nga kai o te mara takoto kaia, kiano i taiepatia ; no reira matou ka wakatupato ai i nga langata maori e ngaki I tata ana kite kainga o te pakeha,; kia wakaarahia he taiepa pai, kaha, e
kore hoki e rite te utu, me kahore he taiepa, ko te tikanga tenei o te ture. Kia mahara o matou hoa maori, me he mea ka haere mai koutou kite tono utu i te raumati e haere ake nei, mo nga mea i pau i te kau, ka haere matou kia kite i te taiepa, me he mea e kino ana, heoi # a kore e rite.—Kai Tukl]
