TE WHAWHAI KI TARANAWAARA.
Kaore i te tino nui nga rongo o te pakanga ki Awherika; kei te marara haere noa iho te ahua o te riri.
Ko Ti Weti tetahi o nga tino tianara o te Poa, ka maha hoki nga rarunga o te Ingarihi i a ia. I te maunga o Tianara Koroni i a Rapata, ka ora atu ko te wehenga o te Poa i raro i a Ti Weti. I hopukia hoki e ia nga wakens e 40, ki tonu ite kai ma te ope a Rapata. I muri mai nei ka hopukia e ia te tereina kawe kakahu mo te ope a Rapata, tahuna ake nga kakahu kite ahi. He tokomaha ote Ingarihi i riro herehere i a ia. Whakamoho ai tana haere, ka kitea e ia te wahi ngoikore o te ope a te Ingarihi, ka whakaeke ki reira. I tino whai a Rapata kia mau taua tangata’ i tonoa hoki e ia a Rore Kitini ratou ko Tianara Metuene me Tianara Mahona kite hopu. Tekau ma rima macro te tatanga atu o Kitini ka oma a Ti Weti me tana ope; katahi ka whaia. Whai noa, kaore i mau, ahakoa i whiriwhiria e Kitini ko nga tino hoiho anake mo tana ope. Te take i kore ai e mau he mohio no te Poa ki ona kopikopikotanga, na reira ka haere tonu i te po, ko te Ingarihi ia hei te awatea anake ka haere, ara i to ratou tauhou ki taua whenua. I tukutukua katoatia eTi Wete ana herehere kia mama ai ia te haere. I mea a Rapata ahakoa kaore a Ti Wete i mau otira ko tana ope kua pakaru, ko ana pu repo kua tanumia; e 300 ano nga tangata kei aia inaianei, kua kore tona kaha. Ko Tianara Para anake te tangata e arangaranga ana te ingoa i enei ra. Ite horonga o Piritoria ka hanga pa te Poa ki Makatoopu. Ka tonoa e Rapata ko Tianara Para ki reira. Kaore i rca ka horo ; ka oma ano te Poa, noho rawa atu i Rairenapaaka, ki reira ano hanga pa ai. He tino pa kaha tenei, otira kaore itu i a Pura, ahakoa i kaha te whawhaitanga. I rai-tariha tonu nei ka karapotia a Tianara Pura e nga mano o te Poa ki roto ki tetahi wharua mete pupuhi ano nga pu repo ate Poa. I te po haere atu ana a Pura. Kei roto ratou ko tana ope i te pa o te Poa i Rairenapaaka e noho ana inaianei; ka riro te Poa kei te rapu pa kaha mona. Ite whakawakanga o Katana, (te tangata naana te whakaaro mo te hopu i a Rapata), i whakataua ia kia whakamatea. Kua puhia. Kua tae a Kurutia kei Terakoa Pei, he whenua no te Poriki. E oma ana pea ki luropi. E kore te Ingarihi e kaha kite hopu i a ia i reira, he ture na nga iwi nunui.
