HAKARI A TE KAWANA KI TE KURA O TIPENE.
No te 4 o nga ra o Mei nei ka tu te hakari a te Kawana raua ko tona boa wahine ki nga tamariki o te kura i Tipene, Akarana. E 60 nga tamariki i haere kite whare o te Kawana me o ratou kai-whakaako, me nga kai-whaka-haere o te kura. I mua atu o te kai ka haereere tai o tamariki i roto i te kaari a te Kawana. I te tina i muri iho i te kupu whakanui i te Kuini ka waiatatia e nga tamariki maori te waiata whakanui i te Kuini, “ E Ihowa tohungia te Kuini.” Mutu iho te tina ka haere ki Kuini Tiriti Waapu, i reira te tima hei kawe i te ope maori, i te Kawana, me ona hoa ki runga i te manuao i a te ‘ H.M.S. Pylades.’ I whakanuia te ekenga o te Kawana ki runga ki tona tima e Kapene Tapa; nana i whakaatu haere nga wahi katoa o te kaipuke, me ona tini raweke, kite Kawana ratou ko ona hoa ; ko tenei i te heramana nei kite kawe haere i nga tamariki maori; kaore he wahi i toe te titiro, whakatatare rawa ki roto o te waha o te pu-repo. I te hokinga ki uta o te Kawana me tana ope ka whakatangihia he pu-repo, he whakanui i te Kawana, te mangai o te Kuini; katahi ka haere i runga i te tima iti kite haereere i te wahapu. I te taenga kite whare o te Kawana, ka whakatakotoria ano te kai e te whanau a te Kawana, a ahakoa ohooho i te tu o te whare rangatira, i rawe tonu te karawhiu o te kai. Mutu iho te ti, ka whakahoro kite hooro, i reira ka whakatutu nga tamariki o Tipene i nga mahi whakamaroro i nga ringaringa i nga waewae, ko to ratou kai-whakaako ano
ko Karoro kite karangaranga, a ka kino ta ratou nei haere ! I a ratou ano e whiu ana i nga pooro maitai ka tatakitia ta ratou waiata maori, he powhiri i te Kawana ; haruru ana te umeretanga ate pakeha. He maha ano nga waiata pakeha i waiatatia, engari te tino waiata i umeretia e te pakeha ko te tino waiata a te pakeha i enei ra, ko “ Nga Hoiaa te Kuini.” I a au i Poneke i te haerenga o te Ope Tuatahi o Niu Tireni kite whawhai ko tenei te tino waiata e rongo ana te taringa ; e whakatangihia ana e nga peene, e waiatatia ana e te tangata, e whiowhiotia ana e te tamariki tane. Te waiata whakamutunga a nga tamariki o Tipene, “ Good Night.” I tu a Makimare te minita o Paneera, tetahi o nga kai-whakahaere o Tipene, kite whakamihi kia Rore Renewhare, kia Reiri Renewhare, me a raua tamaahine, mo to ratou aroha ki nga tamariki o Tipene ; i mea hoki ia apopo te aroha o te Kawana panuitia ai i tena kainga i tena kainga ote Iwi Maori. E tino whakamihia ana tenei Kawana e nga tangata katoa, tera pea ia e pitihanatia kia noho tonu i Niu Tireni nei mo etahi tau atu ano. I te taenga mai o nga tamariki mangumangu o nga Motu i tu ano he hakari ma te Kawana ki a ratou. Na te waiata mo te Kuini i whakamutu tenei huihuinga, i kiia nei e nga nu-pepa o Akarana, he huihuinga tino pai. I te mate o tetahi o nga tamariki o Tipene kaore ia i tae ki tenei ngahau, otira i puta ano te ngakau aroha o te Kawana raua ko tona hoa wahine: i tukua atu he pukapuka me etahi karepe mana. “ Kia orate Kawana !” “ E Ihowa tohungia te Kuini!” Na Tipi-whenua.
