NGA KONGO WHAKAMUTUNGA O TE WHAWHAI.
I te horonga o Makepoteini ( Magersfontein) ka whakahaua e Tianara Koroti (o te Poa) kia pakaru tona ope, kia rapu ia tangata, ia tangata i te ora mo tona tinana, mo tona tinana; haunga ia te 5000 e piri tonu ana ki tona taha. I peneitia ai e ia he whakaaro nona kia ora ai etahi o ana tangata, ina mau etahi i te Ingarihi, ara kia kore ai e kotahi te matenga o te katoa. Otira i runga i te kaha o te Ingarihi kite whai haere, katahi ka huihuia ano e ia ana tangata e tata ana, ka ara hoki he pakanga. E wha nga ra i whakahaere ai tenei whawhai, he tokomaha hoki o tetahi taha, o tetahi taha, i hinga. I tenei takiwa whawhai ai te Poa mete haere tonu ; no te mea ahakoa kei te kapi a muri me nga taha i te Ingarihi otira e watea tonu ana a mua. Ohorere ana te Poa i te kitenga atu i a Tianara Piriti ratou ko tana ope i mua o te huarahi. Ko te tino karapotitanga tenei i te ope a te Poa, kaore hdki he putanga ki waho. Kua tino nui rawa o taua iwi kua mate. I tono a Tianara Koroti kite Ingarihi kia mutu te whawhai mo nga haora e 24, kia anga ratou kite tanu i o ratou tupapaku. Otira kaore ano kia wareware i te Ingarihi nga mahi tinihanga a te Poa, heoi i whakahokia e Tianara Kitini “ E kore rawa e hoatu te meneti kotahi; me riri tonu me tuku mai ranei koutou i a koutou ano hei herehere ma te Ingarihi.” Tuarua rawa nga tononga a te Poa, kotahi tonu te whakahokiate Ingarihi. Kaore te Poa i whakaae ki ta te Ingarihi. Katahi ka whakahaua e Tianara Rapata kia
nro ma nga pu-repo e patu te Poa. E 50 nga repo kei te tahu itepa ote Poa. Kite whakaaro iho tera e kore morehu tenei ope a te Poa. Kua omaoma mai etahi ote Poa kite taha ote Ingarihi; ki ta ratou korero kanui te mate o te Poa, ko te hiahia o nga tangata he tuku mai i a ratou hei herehere ma te Ingarihi, otira kaore a Tianara Koroti e whakaae. E ki ana ia ka whawhai tonu ia a ... mate noa. Kanui te toa o Tianara Koroti, engari he tikanga kohuru tana i ona tangata, i te mea kua kore he putanga. I tono ano tona wahine ki a ia kia whakaora i ona tangata, otira kaore a Tianara Koroti i whakaae. Kei te kokiri ano a d ianara Pura ki nga pa o te Poa i waho o Reirimete. Kanui te hinga ote Poa. Ki ta matou whakaaro ko te haerenga tenei o Tianara Pura e tae ai ki Reirimete, inahoki e rua tonu macro te tawhiti mai o mua o tana ope i Reirimete. I tino kaha ai a Tianara Pura na te mea kua riro mai etahi 0 nga hoia ate Poa i Reirimete kite awhina 1 a Tianara Koroti. Ki ta matou whakaaro tera e rereke nga rongo mai o te whawhai i roto i enei ra tata. Kei te whanga atu matou kite oranga o Reirimete, kite hinganga hoki o Tianara Koroti.
