LEGEND OF WAI KA RE Moan a. HAUMAPUIA, (Continued.) We left our heroine with her head submerged, and held down by her irate parent.—Telephone, January 1. Fyttb No. 3. Among the dark and clinging weeds Still writhes her lissom form When lo ! the bank forthwith recedes As dust before a storm. Of wind, from foot and hand retiic The shores on either hand* Leaving the very angry sire Alone upon the strand, And all night lojtg the damsel £WID, With undiminished force, Like a torpedo, flr a ram, An ironclad of course. And land deeded all the time. North-east and west went she. And south ? nor reckoned aught of crime, “ Fulfilling her destiny • Till about the hour of early dawn, When heaven and earth unite, Hhe felt herself somewhat forlorn, Seedy and done up quite. She turned her head to the ocean vast, An asylum there to find, For trouble had turned her brain at last, And upset her “ stable ” mind. FyTte No. 4. Now Rahgi and Papa ftbove, below, • Deities most ffiytholßgical j t ListeHqd both to the awful row, And thought U most illogical, That father and daughter, Maoris both. Should make so great fiasco, Hills to rend and streams extend As formerly did Glasgow Bank, and at once in conclave sat This God and Goddess high up, • And Rangi put ii ve/y pat This (Glasgow) lass at once to tie up< 1 Quoth he to Papa, “ ’Tis quite plain , Hautnapuia’s addled J As to nut, or quite insane < AU night thus to have paddled. “ I will not have—’tis quite absurd— ’ Waikari thus extended, < I’ll quickly have her just interred,” ( And thus the mischief ended. Should she get out to Wairoa coast, i What damage might she do With Waikari—flood out the boast 1 Of Clyde and “ Guardian ” too.*

No, I have got a panacea, And mind I judge alone, Wee’l just submerge the silly dear And turn her into stone. Conclusion. Neath the hill-side of Waikari deep down, Down deep in pellucid water Sleeps peacefully, without frown On countenance, Tanas’ daughter. Rests she in stone enshrouded, Solitary, and alone, Never is that place crowded Few hear her moan. But with the west wind blowing Tohungas hear her voice Louder and louder growing, Gone without choice. Of the adventures of Haumapuia's father who seeks food in much tribulatiou for his daughter hereafter. Naiuuto*. Waerenga-a-hika, Jan. sth, 1884, An anachronism of which the narrator is eonadou*, but doesn't care, Who knows that the heroine may not be revivified now that great Pau is dead—in controlling the deities of ancient Maoridom. ■Wanted.
