Whakaritea ana e te Tinara (te rangatira o nga hoia katoa) hei a te Manei, i tc ata po ano, ka kokiri te 600 ra kite pa "whawhai ai, ko ia, ko te Tinara, mete nuinga atu o te hoia hei etahi taha huaki ai ma runga i nga poti. Ko te taha ki uta auake ano o te pa i tuwliera ; otira he moana -\vai katoa a uta i te nui o te ua, i te puke o nga awa katoa o reira. Heoi, titiro ana nga tangata o roto o te pa ka tae te pakeha kite taha ki runga, kite taha waingohia, ka pawera te ngakau, ka mataj ku ; no te mea ko mua anake o te pa, ko te tauranga waka, i hangaia kite parepare ; ko te taha rawa hoki tenei i nui nuva nga parepare. nga taiepa,

Ko konei anake te wahi i maharatia ai e ratou hei ekenga ma te pakeha, i reira anc hoki ona pu nui e toru—e mea aua ekore e ahei te rere o te tima ki runga atu. Heoi, titiro ana ratou ka mau ratou, katahi ka horo i te huarahi kotahi i tuwhera ; ara, i te ara waka—hoe atu ana i te moana wai i muri atu ote pa. Na te puke o nga awa ka huri te wai ki runga ki te raorao kite taha ki uta ote pa, ka moana tonu—tata rawa mai kite pa. Na, ka kokiri nga waka kite wai i konei, ite ata o te Ratapu, hoe atu ana, te taea te kokoti. No taua rangi ano, no te Ratapu, ka eke atu te pakeha ki uta, ko noho iho kite pa. Katahi ka tirotiro haere i nga parepare, i nga taiepa, i nga aha atu—he tini noaiho, kia mano tangata hei mahi. Ko nga parepare o mua tonu kua hurihia ite waipuke, ki tonu i te wai.

Heoi ra, ko tenei e takoto tata atu ana i Takapau te huarahi ki Rangiriri i te wlienua pai, totika—hei haerenga ma te pakeha apopo. Ko te Tinara, i runga ite Paionia, kua tae ki runga atu o Rangiriri titiro ai. Rokohanga atu he tokoiti nga tangata i reira ; engari nga parepare oneone he tini noaiho, he mahinga whakaharahara na nga tangata nana i keri.
