NGA KOHURU.
I te Turei te 6 o nga ra o te marama nei, ka whakawakia a Wuruhi ( Wolfe) ete Hupirimi Kooti i Poneke, mo tona kohurutanga i cna tamariki tokorua ki Pito-one, Poneke, i a Oketopa ka taha nei. I roa ai tona whakawakanga, he nui no tona mate, katahi ano ia ka ahua mat utu ake. I muri i tona patunga i ona tumariki, ka pupuhi ia i a ia ano, otira kaore ia i mate rawa. I muii iho ka tapahi ia i tona kaki kite heu, otira kaore ano ia i tino mate rawa. Na runga ite kaha ote takuta ka tino ora mai, otira 1 a ia e tu ana i roto i te whare whakawa e takai tonu ana ona mate. I te tononga kia karo ia i a ia ka mea ia “ Ko taka mahia kia hohoro toku ta.onatia, kaore oku hiahia kia whakawakia.” I te ahiahi ka mutu te whakawa, ka puta hki te whakataunga ate huuri: — “ Kua hara, otira kia ngawari, no te mea i mahia taua hara i te mea e he ana nga whakaaro ara e ahua porangi ana.” Ka mea hoki te Tiati, kia tukua kite Paremata, mana hoki e tautoko te kupu mo te aroha. Otira ite uinga kia Wuruhi, ka mea ia “ Kaore rawa oku painga kite ora, kotahi tonu taku mea ka tono atu nei, ara kia whakamatea au i roto o nga haora e 48.” I runga i enei kupu a Wuruhi, ka maringi te roimata i nga kanohi o te iwi e noho ra i roto ote wiiare whakawa. He tangata pai tenei 1 mua, he tangata aroha ki tona wahine, atawhai hoki i ona tamariki, ehara i te tangata haurangi. Kite whakaaro iho e ahua porangi ana taua tangata i tana mahinga i tenei hara, a i te mea kua pai ake nei ona whakaaro ka kite ia i te he o tana mahi, kaore rawa ia i pai kia ora ia, ahakoa puta te kupu aroha a te Tiati. I runga i tona tono ka man hoki te Tiati ki tona potae pango mete wiri ano te reo i a ia e whakapuaki ana i te mate mo Wuruhi. I te Mane, te 5 o nga ra o Pepuere, ka tupono tetahi aitua kia Kanihama ( Cunningham he tamaiti tane no Otepoti, 14 ona tau. Rokohina atu e ia nga tamariki a Kereama e riri ana, e mau ana hoki tetahi i te rakau hei patu mo tetahi. Ka riria eia ; ka whiua hoki te mea e mau rakau ana. I reira ano tetahi tamaiti pakeke ake ko Miripana ( Milburn) te ingoa 12 ona tau. I karanga mai tenei kia Kanihama, kia waiho atu nga tamariki kia riri ana. Katahi ka hopukia e Kanihama ka whiua. Te whakatikanga ake o tera ko te naihi tonu, katahi ka whiua atu kia Kanihama, tu tonu kite puku ; mate tonu atu.
1 te whakawakanga 1 kiia e te huuri ehara 1 te kohuru, engan he tupono no te mate. Kaore a Miripana i mohio he naihi i roto o tona nnga.
