PITOPITO KORERO O TE WHAWHAI.
Kua whakaritea e te Kawanatanga o Ingarangi etahi moni e mo te whakahaerenga o te whawhai i Awherika tae noa ki te mutunga o Aperira. Katahi ano a Ingarangi ka ata kite i te nui o tenei whawhai, katahi ano hoki ka ta-ka-tautia. Kua nukuhia ake nga hoia mo Awherika kite 200,000. Kua tae a Teini (Steyn) te Tumuaki o te ‘ Orange Free State ’ kei Piritoria. Ko tenei tangata me tona iwi katoa, kei te awhina i te Poa. Ko te take o tana haere ki Piritoria, he whakalakoto whakaaro na raua ko Kurutia Tumuaki o te Poa mo te whakahaere o te whawhai. I tono a Kurutia raua ko Teini Ida Tianara Tupete i te take i ata noho ai ia, i kore ai e kokiri ite Ingarihi. Ka whakahokia e Tianara Tupete, “ Haere mai korua kia kite i nga repo 100 a Tianara Pura; me pehea atu he kokiri?”
Kua whakaaturia e matou i mua ake nei nga Tianara tokorua o te Poa kua mate ara a Botha raua ko Koch. Tokorua ano hoki nga Tianara o te Ingarihi kua mate ara ko Haimona raua ko Wauhopa. Kei te hangaia tetahi tereina tino kaha hei tukituki i Piritoria. Engari kaore ano te Ingarihi kia tae ki reira. Kua tukua etahi mihini keri-parepare ki Awherika. Ma tenei e kore ai e tino nui te mate o nga hoia keri-parepare, He mea whakamiharo te tere o te tae o nga hoia o Ingarangi ki Awherika. Nuku atu ite 50 nga tima kite mau i nga hoia. He mea whakamiharo ano tenei, no te mea e 6000 macro rawa te tawhiti atu o Awherika i Ingarangi. Mehemea kei etahi mana nunui e kore rawa e taea. Ite whawhai ki Kupa ‘ Cuba ’ kotahi tino tau katahi ano ka tae nga hoia a te Paniora e 200,000. Kei te rika te Ingarihi i te ao katoa kite haere kite whawhai. Ahakoa mate mai te Ingarihi ka rite tonu tana haere. Kite korero a tetahi apiha o Hanover, kei te taha o te Poa e whawhai mai ana, 10,000 nga hoia katoa o luropi kei te taha o te Poa, e 300 nga apiha. Kua riro tetahi ope manuao a te Ingarihi kei Awherika. Ka waenganui te whawhai ki ‘ Modder River ’ka kite etahi pakeha i a raua. Ite taha tetahi o te Poa, ko tetahi i te taha o te Ingarihi. He hoa raua i mua, heoi i to raua kitenga nei tetahi i tetahi, kaore i hiahia kite patu tetahi i tetahi. Ka oha mai tetahi, ka oha atu hoki tetahi, ringaringa rawa raua. Ite ahiahi iho ka puhia tera i te taha o te Ingarihi mona i ringaringa kite hoa-riri.
