TE WHAWHAI KI TARANAWAARA.
Mai o te taenga o Rore Rapata ki Piritoria kaore ano he tino korero o te Whawhai ki Taranawaara, heoi ano te tino korero o naianei ko te raruraru ki Haina. Kei te whawhai tonu ano ia engari he tamutumutu he mahora. I te whawhaitanga ki Ahi Whapirikena, he pa e tata ana ki Piritoria, whano tata kua karapotia katoatia te ope a te Poa e Rore Rapata. Kaore i eke kite kotahi ran ote Ingarihi i mate i taotu. I taotu a Tianara lana Hamutana. Whano tata te maia nei a Rore Kitini ka man herehere ite Poa ki Kurunutaata. I runga ia i te tereina e moe ana, ko te Poa kei waho. Titiro rawa ake ia e ... ! ko te mate tonu tenei ka tata ! Ko tona rerenga ki raro o te tereina i tetahi taha, ko te hoiho tonu e tu ana, ka peke ki runga, haere atu ana a katuarehe, waiho ake te Poa i kona tirotiro kau ai. [ Kua puta ano te kupu a etahi nu-pepa i mua atu e mea ana kite whakaaro tera a Rore Kitini e mau herehere, ara i runga i tona haere takitahi. Kaore a Rore Kitini e whakaae ma nga kai-tutei anake e whakaatu ki a ia te ahua 0 te noho a te hoa-riri, te ahua hoki o te whenua, engari ma ona kanohi ano e titiro. I penei ano tana mahi i a ia e whawhai ana ki Ihipa. Ahakoa ko ia tonu te tino tianara whakahaere o taua whawhai e haere ana ano ia kite tutei. Ko te whawhai tera i nui ai te ingoa o Kitini, i tino hinga ai hoki nga Arapi. 1 tukua e te Pirimia te oha a Niu Tireni ki a Rore Kitini mo tona mawhetotanga mai i te mahanga a te Poa.] Ko te toa nei ko Patene-Pawera kaore i okioki i muri iho o te whakapaenga o Mawhekingi. Tona putanga mai i Mawhekingi haere tonu atu ki Piritoria, mete whawhai haere tonu, kei reira ia i enei ra. Ko Irowha, he Wiwi i whawhai mo te Poa, a i mau herehere i a Patene-Pawera ki Mawhekingi kua tukua kite moutere i Herena noho herehere ai. Koia nei te tangata i kohukohu ki a te Kuini i te timatanga o te whawhai. I mau ai he mea ata tuku mai na Pawera ki roto o te pa, ka pohehe kua horo i a ia a Mawhekingi, kaore kei roto ia o te hinaki. ■ Kei Herena a Tianara Koroni o te Poa e noho herehere ana, me nga hoia neke atu i te 1000. [I noho herehere aNeporiana Ponipaata ki runga i tenei moutere i te tau 1815 tae noa ki tona matenga ite tau 1821. No te tau 1840 ka hahua ona koiwi ka haria ki tona whenua ki Parani.]
TIANARA PURS. Ko Tianara Pura rawa te tangata e arangaranga ana te ingoa i enei ra. Kua watea i a ia a Nataara ite Poa. I tona whakawhitinga i nga maunga e wehe ana i Nataara i Taranawaara, ka turia ia ete Poa, otira hei aha. I te whawhaitanga ki Reingi Neke 140 o te Poa i mate. I tona tomonga ki Taranawaara ka aia haeretia e ia te Poa, a tae noa ia ki Piritoria. I patua mai te waea whakanui a te Kuini ki a Tianara Pura.
