TE WHAWHAI KI TARANAWAARA.
Kei te wnakamatemate tonu te whawhai ki Taranawaara, kaore ano kia tino mutu. He hoia ano a te Poa kei te tohatoha haere kite whenua katoa, kei te whai kia hoha te Ingarihi engari he nui o ratou e man ana ia wiki ia wiki. He main hoa iho, kahore kau he hua, i te mea he hoia na te Ingarihi kei nga taone nunui katoa o te whenua. Kite whakaaro a Rore Rapata kahore kau he tino take e noho ai ia inaianei ki Taranawaara, kati hei te 20 o nga ra 0 tenei marama hoki ai ia kite kainga, ka waiho pea ko Kitini hei tino pehi rawa i te Poa. Kua whakaturia ko Rapata hei tino kai-wha-kaliaere mo nga hoia katoa a te Kuini, e mutu ana a Rore Wuruheri. Hei tino ra nui te taenga o Rapata ki Ranana. Kua tae tetahi ope hoia ki Ingarangi, a he tino nui te powhiritanga i a ratou. Kua tas a no hoki nga hoia o Kanata. Kua whakaritea e te kawanatanga o reira kia 160 eka whenua mo te hoia kotahi. Kei te moana e hoki mai ana kite kainga nei ta Niu Tireni ope tuatahi i tuku ai, ara nga morehu e 82 me tetahi o nga rewheteneti, me Tiaki Hiu o Nepia. No te 21 o Oketopa i tera tau ka haere ratou, a hei nga ra whakamutunga pea o tenei marama u mai ai, e u mai ai kia manaakitia e to ratou whenua, notemea ko ratou etahi o nga tino hoia atu o tenei whawhai, ko Rewheteneti Hiu hoki tetahi o nga tangata tino toa atu. He paraiweti ia i te haerenga, ina e hoki mai nei he rewheteneti. Ko Meiha Ropini kua tu hei kanara. I patua mai e Rore Rapata he waea ki to tatou Pirimia, he whakaatu mai i tona whakawhetai mo te toa mo te kaha o nga hoia o Niu Tireni. Koia nei tana waea : “O nga hoia katoa i whawhai i raro i a an i Awherika nei, kahore he hoia hei rite mo nga hoia i tukua mai e Niu Tireni kite awhina i te Whenua Matua (i Ingarangi). He toa, he taane. Nui atu toku whakawhetai ki a ratou. Kahore he kupu nui e mohiotia e au hei whakaatu i toku whakamoemiti mo a ratou.” Nga hoia katoa i tukua e Niu Tireni kite whawhai: e 71 nga apiha, 1723 nga hoia. O tenei matua e toru apiha, e 39 hoia i mate i te pu, i mate turoro ranei; e rima apiha e 86 hoia i hoki turoro mai kite kainga: kotahi apiha n hoia i whakamutua; 142 hoia i uru kite ope pirihimana o Awherika; kotahi te hoia i panaia. Kua panuitia te kupu whakatupato a Rore Rapata kite Ingarihi kia kaua e whakaakona
ona hoia kite inu waipiro i nga hakaritanga ki a ratou, ina hoki atu ratou kite kainga. E nui ana tona whakahihi mo te pai ona hoia. I nga wa o te riri he marohirohi ratou, i nga wa ote kore riri he rangatira. Ta te rangatira tana kupu. Kei ko mai te hanga ware nei e mea ana ma te waipiro raw r a ka tika ai te hakari. Hei ra tae enei mo Kurutia ki Uropi. Ko ana moni ara ko nga koura i puritia e te kawanatanga ote Poriki. Kite ki a Kurutia e' haere ana ia kite tono ki nga mana nunui kia aroha ki a ia, engari kanui tona alma mate i runga kaipuke. E kore e manakohia te haere a nehe e nga mana.
