TE WHAWHAI KI HAINA.
Kua ora nga pakeha i Pikini. No Akuhata ano i tae ai te ope a nga mana ki reira ki te tino pa o Haina, kite pa i noho ai te Erne-
para me nga kai-whakahaere a nga mana nunui ote ao. Ka rima macro te tatanga atu ki Pikini ka okioki te taua, tena koa i te rongonga atu e tangi ana nga repo i roto i te pa, i te whakaaro o nga “ Pokiha” kia mate nga pakeha i mua atu o te tapokoranga o te ope wkakaora, kaore i moea engari i kokiritia nga kuwaha huhua o Pikini, he mana ki tena kuwaha ki tena kuwaha. Ahakoa i auhi te Ingarihi i a ratou pu repo nunui, ko ratou tonu te matamua kite tomo ki roto o te whare 0 nga pakeha. I whiriwhiria e Tianara Keehiri (Gaselee) kia 70 he tangata mana —he Inia katoa. Te pakarutanga ote kuwaha ka whakawhiti ratou i tetahi awa keri hohonu, te whitinga atu ko te whare tonu o te Ingarihi, ka whati hoki te Hainamana. I kaha ano te riri, ko te Tiapanihi te iwi 1 maha rawa nga tupakaku, no te Hainamana ano ia te parekura pakatua. I te urunga o nga mana ki roto o Pikini ka whawhai i nga tiriti, engari ko te kuini kua rere atu kite tua-whe-nua me ona kai tiaki e 3000. I puta ano te whakaaro mo te whai i taua kuia nanakia, otira i te nui rawa o te whenua tukua atu ana kia haere i tana haere. He nui te had o nga pakeha i karapotia i to ratou kitenga i te ao-tu-roa. E 65 katoa o ratou i mate, 160 i taotu. Kua kite ratou i nga korero o te ao katoa mo to ratou kohurutanga, a kei te kata pea. I te mea kua riro nei a Pikini, a kua oma te Kawanatanga o Haina kite tua-whenua piri ai, ka pehea ra nga mana ? Ka kotikoti pea ita ratou tohora ? Ka timata pea te hohoni a nga ekara ita ratou tupapaku ! Te mea e wehingia nei kei horoau etahi o nga ekara ka hae etahi, katahi pea ka timata te rapirapi te timotimo te hohoni ki a ratou ano. Kua puta te kupu a Ruhia kia whakarerea a Pikini, kia hokihoki ano nga mana kite taha-tai. Ka raruraru i konei. E mohiotia ana hoki kite hoki nga mana ka timata ano te kohuru a nga Pokiha. He whakaaro rere ke ta Ruhia. He w r hai pea kia kino ano te Hainamana kia whai take ai ia hei tangohanga i te whenua mona. Kua puta hoki te kupu a te Ingarihi e kore ia e maunu mai i Pikini. Kua tukua atu ano tetahi ope hoia a te Ingarihi i Inia ki Haina.
