WAIROA.
Kua tae mai nga rongo o te Wairoa. No te 19 o nga ra o Aperira ka tae mai te Hau Hau kite Uhi, te pa o Ngatikurupakiaka. E kiia ana e 300 ratou, tae ki 400, taua ope. No te kitenga o nga pakeha i tenei taha o te uwa, me o ratou hoa maori, e vvhakaara ana te Hau Hau i ta ratou pou, katahi ka mau ki a ratou pu hei tiaki mo ratou. Ka mu:u, i te aonga ake o te ra ka turakina e te Hau Haute pou ra, ka whakaarahia tetahi, he mea tei - tei ake; ka whakamaua te kurapae ki runga, ka whakairia nga kara roaha ki runga, E pehea ana ranci ana ritenga o aua kara? He kore tonu ano pea. I whakahuatia tetahi o aua kara ko Henare te Apatari, hei patipati pea mo tona iwi kia tahuri kia a ratou. Muri iho ka whai korero. Ko Taiapa, ko Maihe, ko Pitiera Kopu nga kai korero. Uiua ana mai a ratou korero e Paora Korori raua ko te Waru, ratou ko etahi atu. Ina ano aua knrero kua tae mai ki a matou, hei tetahi nuipepa i tua i te Wiki nei ka t;;ia—he roa hoki, ekore e o ki. tenei. Ko Ponipata te poropiti o te Hau Hau. Na, he ran«atira kaha no Wi Wi tena tangata a Ponipata, te hoa riri o Vveretana i mua ; a, mate ana, riro ana i a matou i te hereherc. Ko tona wairua pea tenei kua whakatangatatia inaianei e te atua o te Hau Hau hei tiu mana. E pouri ana matou kite koroheke nei ki a te Matenga lukareaha e korerotia ana kua rere kite Hau Hau. Hua noa he pono tona reta i taia kite nuipepa nei, i ki ai ia ekore ia e pa: ki aua mahi kuhuru a te Hau Hau. Rongo rawa atu kua pepeke tonu te rere ki roto i a ratou i te taenga mai ki tona kainga. Kanui te whakapai a nga pakeha katoa o te Wairoa, o konei hoki, ki a Kopu ratou ko Paora te Apatu, ko Taiapa, ko Maihe, me nga tangata katoa e piri ana kite taha Kuini. Na ratou te tino mahi whakakotahitanga mo te pakeha raua ko te maori. Ka mohiotia kohi ratou inaianei
he hoa aroha no matou ; hei pou whakawhirinakitanga ratou mo nga wahine me nga tamariki o te Wairoa. Heoi, he kupu tenei na matou ki nga rangatira ote Wairoa. He pai rawa tena mrihi a koutou, te pana i nga iwi kohuru e kawe mai ana i ona ritenga kino ki to koutou kaiiiga. Otira koi mahara koutou ko te Hau Hau anake kai te kohuru i te tangata. Tena ano tetahi tangata kohuru kino rawa; ko WAIPIRO tona ingoa. Engari ano rate Hau Hau e kitea ana tona mahi tapahi i te tangata, e mohiotia ana tona ahua. Tenako Waipiro e mahi pukutonu ana kite ngau ite ngakau ote tangata, pirau iho, mate iho. Koi titiro koutou ki te mahi ate pakeha ware kite kai nui i tana icai, a, vvaiho ai hei tauira mo koutou. Ka rangatira te ingoa o te Wairoa ki to koutou kaha kite Hau Hau ; akuanei, ki te kore koutou e tupato, ka kuare akuanei i te mahi a Waipiro. Kua rongo hoki matou e nui ana te mahi kai waipiro a nga tungaia o kona inaianei. Engari me kaha koutou kite pehi i taua mahi.
