WAIKATO.
Kaore auo he parekura nui i Waikato o muri nei. No te 16 o nga ra o Hepetema ka tae te taua o Waikato kite muru i tetahi whare pakeha i te Wairoa. Ka rongo te hoia i roto i to ratau paraki, haere *atu ana 50 ratau. No te putauga atu ki waho o tetahi motu rakau ki reira ka kitea liga maori e haere takitahi atu ana i te huanui mete waha haere i nga kawenga. Katahi ka puhia, ka whaia; katahi ka whakarere etahi o nga kawenga kite whenua ka tahuti, ka auga atu ki Otau. Tokorua o aua maori i mate rawa. Kua tatata tenei kite po ; heoi, hoki ana mai te hoia. No te aonga ake o te ra ka haere atu ano, 70 ratau—marama rawa ake kua tata atu ki nga whare maori ki Otau. Ko te awa e puke ana, te taea te wliakawhiti. Ka kitea nga maori tokomaha noa atu i tetahi taha o te awa e noho ana ; katahi ka pupuhi—pupuhi tonu, pupuhi tonu—me te pupuhi mai ano te hoa riri, otira kaore kia kotahi he hoia i tu. No te mutuuga o te pupuhi ka tanumia e te hoia tetahi maori i reira e takoto ana—i mate i te puhanga i tetahi ra. Heoi, ka hoki mai ratou. Kia awatea noa ake ka haere atu ano 20 nga hoia ki taua wahi ano, ki rawahi o te awa noho ai. Ko tetahi tohu, 75 ratau, i anga ke atu he huarahi ke, whiti atu ana i te,awa ma runga i te arawhata, puta ana kite kainga i te taha ki muri; te taeuga ki reira kua kore he tangata, kua oma anake. Engari i mohiotia he mate nui to ratau i te puhanga i te ata, no te mea kua paru katoa nga whare i te toto—i roto, i waho. Kotahi te kakahu maori kapi tonu i te toto i kitea i reira e takoto ana— takoto ana te ngaunga a te mata i taua kahu. Erua nga pu, me etahi patiti, me etahi rakau atu i riro i aua hoia. Ko te tima i hangaia i Po Hakene mo
te awa nei, mo "VVaikato, teuei kua tae mai ki Akarana.
