NAPIER.
HE KUPU WHAKAHOKI KI NGA HOA TUHI MAI.
——————*——————
Ko Henare Rahera, o Nepia; ko te Para, Kai-hoko pukapuka,
o Kerehama Taone, Akarana; ko J. A. Hatingi, o Waipiro;
ko W. W, Paraone, o Uawa, kai-hoko toa, kua whakaritea
katoatia hei tangata tango moni mo te Waka.
E hiahia ana matou kia whakaturia etahi tangata tika hei
whakahaere i te hoko o te Waka i nga takiwa Maori. Ko te
tangata e pai ana me tuhi mai ki te Etita kei Turanga nei, me
te whakaatu mai i tana utu e pai ai ia mo taua mahi—ara te
herengi mana i roto i te pauna kotahi.
He mea atu tenei ki nga tangata tuhituhi mai, me utu e ra-
tou te meera mo te mauranga mai o a ratou reta, ara me wha-
kapiri nga upoko Kuini e rite ana, ka kore, e kore e tangohia e
matou aua reta.
Tenei kua tae mai etahi reta na Meiha Ropata me etahi atu
tangata; engari e kore e taea te panui inaianei i te mate o a
matou tangata mahi i te piwa.
RUNANGA, Tarawera. —Me tuku mai he pauna moni, me wha-
kaatu mai hoki te kainga, katahi ka hoatu he Waka.
P. K. K. WIREMU KEREI, Oaro, Amuri. —Ko te moni mo
te Waka, tona tikanga he mea homai ki mua. Me tuku mai
e koe te pauna. Mau e ki atu ki ou hoa, te tau herengi mo te
Waka mo te hawhe tau, e rima herengi mo nga marama e toru.
Ki te kohikohi moni koe mo te Waka, kei a matou te whakaaro
ki a koe mo to mahi ina tae mai nga moni. Me whakaatu mai
e koe nga kainga o nga tangata e homai moni ana ki a koe mo te
Waka.
HOHEPA HARAWIRA, Opepe, Taupo. —E panuitia, ana e matou
nga taonga, no te mea e utua ana matou e nga tangata na ratou
nga taonga. Kua tae mai to moni.
WHAREKAURI. --Kua tukua tonutia e matou ki te Potapeta nga
nupepa katoa ki o matou hoa kei Wharekauri, kaore i mahue
tetahi. Kaore he mea e toe ana i a matou o aua Waka i ngaro nei.
E whitu herengi e toe ana inaianei hei homaitanga ma Hiriwanu
Tapu, Timoti, me Ani Mikara, ia tangata ia tangata o ratou.
Kua tukua atu te nupepa ki a te Ritie i runga i tana tono. Me
homai e Apitia Pangu me Pangupangu a raua pauna.
HATIWIRA HOUKAMAU, Wharekahika. —Kaore i homai e
Omira te pauna i ki mai ra koe. Ki te kore e homai e koe, ka
haehaetia atu to ingoa inaianei ano.
Kia rongo mai nga tangata katoa e
tongo ana i te WAKA MAORI, me hohoro
te tuku mai i nga moni utu mo te WAKA;
ka kore, me pewhea e ora ai. Kua hae-
haetia atu. e matou inaianei nga ingoa o
nga tangata kaore e whakaaro mai. He
o o
aha te pai kia mahi kau noa te tangata?
Ka whakamutua taua tikanga, kua hoha
hoki. \_\_\_\_•
Kua rongo matou ka tauwhainga a Henare Potae
ki a Wi Pere i te pootitanga mema a mua ake nei hei
whakakapi i te turanga o Karaitiana i te Paremete.
Ki ta matou whakaaro e kore a Wi Pere e kaha ki
a Henare Potae ina tu he pootitanga. Otira kia
tae ki taua ra, hei reira ma tou whai kupu ai mo taua
mea.
Ka tu te Kooti a Kapene Katiana, Kai-whakawa.
ki te Awanui i te Taitei te 10 o nga ra o Aperira;
ka tu hoki ki Tuparoa ki Tokomaru i nga ra o muri
iho ki te ai he tikanga e tu ai. Ko nga. tangata e
hiahia ana ki te tango hamene, me haere ki te Kara-
ka o te Kooti i te Awanui; me whakaatu hoki ki a
ia ko tewhea ranei o aua kainga e toru e pai ai ratou
hei kainga whakawakanga i o ratou take.

Editor at Gisborne.
We beg to inform our correspondents that we shall

you will receive the Waka.
P. K. K. WIREMU KEREI, Oaro, Amuri Bluff. —The subscrip-
tion is payable in advance. Send a pound. Your friends can

unless we get in monies owing to us.
We understand that Henare Potae intends to

TURANGA, HATAREI, MAEHE 15, 1879.
NA te mate piwa kua pa nei ki tenei kainga, ki
Turanga, i kore ai e puta te WAKA i te wiki kua
taha ake nei. Kotahi tonu o a matou kai-mahi e ora
nei, a ko ia anake hei mahi i te nupepa, me te mihini
perehi i nga nupepa, me te tuhituhi i nga ingoa ki
nga takai o waho, me era atu mahi hoki o te tari.
Kotahi te tangata kei Nepia i whakaae kia haere mai
ia ki te mahi; tukua mai ana e ia tana kupu i te
waea, ki mai ana ka hohoro ia te haere mai i te tima
i muri tonu o tana waea. Otira no te taenga mai o
te Hihana i tae mai nei ki Nepia, tera ka rongo ia e
haere mai ana taua kai-mahi ki a matou, katahi ka
anga ka whakakiki. Muri iho ka tukua mai ano he
kupu waea e taua kai-mahi ki a matou; ko te kupu
tenei: —
Kaore au e tukua ana e te Hihana i tenei ra. Maku e haere
atu a te wa e puta ai.
Tena pea te wehi o taua Minita Maori ki te WAKA, i
tahuri ai ia ki tena mahi whakakuare i a ia, ara te
whakakiki i ta matou kai mahi kia raruraru ai matou.
Ki ta matou whakaaro, me whakaaro ia ki te ranga-
tiratanga o tona turanga e whakakuaretia nei e ia, a
kaua ia e tahuri ki taua tu mahi ware, whakarihariha
rawa. Me i kore tona minitatanga e kore matou e
whakaaro he tikanga tangata ia e korerotia ai tona
ingoa me ana mahi i roto i nga wharangi o te WAKA.
Ko tena rangatira, ko KARAITIANA TAKAMOANA,
M. H. R., i tanumia i te Hatarei, te tahi o nga ra o
Maehe nei, ki Pakowhai. Na te Wiremu, Minita,
o te Aute nei, i whakahaere i te karakia tanumanga.
He nui te Pakeha he nui te Maori i hui ki reira. He
kohatu te urupa, ara he mea whakapipi ake ki te
pereki; e ono putu te teitei, e wha putu te whanui,
e iwa puta te roa. I roa rawa te tupapaku e takoto
ana i roto i te kawhena tuatahi, no reira ka hangaa
tetahi kawhena ke, a tukua ana te kawhena tuatahi
me te tupapaku ano ki roto ki te rua o nga kawhena.
I mahia te kawhena ki te kahu pango, ko nga taha
he mea whakarite ki te koura, he pua rakau i hoatu
ki te pito ki te upoko hei whakapaipai; i titia ka-
toatia te kawhena ki te huia. Ko nga kupu enei i
tuhia ki runga ki te taupoki o te kawhena, ara: —
" He whakamaharatanga mo Karaitiana Takamoana,

GISBORNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1879.
OWING to the prevailing epidemic in this district
our small staff is reduced, for the time being, to one
hand only, who, with the help of a boy, has to per-
form the labour of setting up type, press-work, fold-
ing papers, addressing wrappers, &c. In conse-
quence of this we were unable to get the WAKA out
last week, and we venture to hope that, under the
circumstances, our friends will excuse us for the
omission. We had engaged another hand at Napier,
who telegraphed that he would come at once by the
steamer which was to leave that day, It appears,
however, that the matter, in some way, became
known to the Honorable John Sheehan, who had
arrived in Napier, the result being that we received
a second telegram from our man, as follows: —
Sheehan won't let me come to-. day. Come first chance.
The Native Minister must be terribly afraid of the
WAKA, when he descends to tamper with an employee
of ours for the purpose of embarrassing us. We
should have thought that even Mr. Sheehan would
have remembered the dignity appertaining to the
office which he so unworthily fills, and would have
refrained from so contemptible an act. Were it not
for the public position which he occupies, we should
consider him and his doings unworthy of notice in
our columns.
THE funeral of the late chief KARAITIANA TAKA-
MOANA, M. H. R., took place on Saturday, the 1st
of March, at Pakowhai. The service was performed
by the Rev. Samuel Williams. There was a very
large attendance both of Europeans and Natives,
The body was interred in a brick vault, standing
about 6 ft. in height and 4 ft. in breadth, the length
being about 9 ft. In consequence of the body having
been kept a long time a second coffin had to be made,
into which the first coffin containing the body was
put. It was covered with black cloth and edged
with gilt; a wreath of real flowers encircled the
head, and huia feathers were stuck all round. The
inscription on the plate was as follows: —"Sacred to
the Memory of Karaitiana Takamoana, M. H. R.
Died 24th February, 1879. Aged 48. "
•
The old chiefs of Ahuriri are rapidly passing
away—those of the olden time. Te Moananui,
Puhara, Te Hapuku, and others—all have gone.
They were the friends of the pioneer settlers of
Ahuriri, with whom they uniformly maintained the
most amicable relations. In those days they were

ngakau hari ratou i aua ra, kaore he raruraru kaore
he "mate" o aua ra; heoi te aria raruraru ko te
tautohetohe noa ki te taumaha o te poaka e hokona
aua ki te Pakeha, o te peeke witi ranei, paihere
muka ranei. Kaore ia e raruraru ana te wha-
kaaro o te tangata i reira ai ki nga tikanga o
te motu, me te mano atu o nga tikanga autaia
i raruraru ai ratou i muri mai nei, i tau ai te
pouri me te mate ki a ratou—tetahi, kaore he Mini-
ta Maori kaore he roia i reira ai hei kai-whakapatari-
tari i a ratou. Heoi nga tino rangatira o taua wahi
e ora nei ko Taraha, ko Renata Kawepo. He ta-
ngata whai mana a Renata i taua kainga; a tera e
nui haere tona mana inaianei, i te mea kua mate nei
a Karaitiana. He tika kia kite te iwi o Karaitiana
i tetahi tangata tohutohu tikanga ki a ratou, hei te
tangata kaumatua, tika, mohio; a ki ta matou wha-
kaaro me noho ratou i raro i te maru o Renata, kia
tika ai ratou. E kore ano pea ratou e pai ki tenei
kupu, otira he kupu tika ia. He tangata mohio
rawa ia, he maia; e kore e warea ona whakaaro i
nga tangata tinihanga, tangata pao ke haere noa ki
te kimi oranga mo ratou, me te karearea e rere haere
nei i te rangi, ahakoa kowai ranei, kowai ranei. Ka
puta he kupu mo nga tangata kua ngaro atu i roto i
a tatou, e pai ana kia puta i runga i te aroha me te
whakaaro pai; me wareware tonu ki a ratou mahi
hee, me mahara tonu ki a ratou mahi pai. Na, ko ta
matou kupu mo Karaitiana he mea whakaputa i
runga i te aroha ki a ia, koia tenei he kupu mo tona
matenga; ara, e mahara ana matou ko te kupenga o
te nama me te raruraru nui i tapiki ki ranga i a ia
tetahi take nui i mate tamariki ai ia. Na te pouri-
tanga ua te mamae o tona ngakau i taki mai i te
mate i mate ai ia. I roto i enei tau kua hori ake
nei, he mano tini ona pauna moni i pau i te whainga
ki te oranga mo ratou ko tona iwi, otira heoi te hua
i kitea he nama, he raruraru. Heoi te otinga o tona
uauatanga i kitea e ia ko ona whenua i riro he tanga-
ta ke inana e whakahaere; ko ana hipi i riro, ko nga
utu o nga huruhuru e haere tonu ana ki te ringa o te
tangata ke, a kaore rawa hoki i ngata te ngakau o
taua tangata ke, hiakai tonu ai. E mohio ana matou
i ngau tonu ki tona ngakau te mamae o enei tikanga,
hui ki te pouritanga o tona ngakau ki nga mahi ki te
taha Maori o ienei Kawanatanga (ona hoa) kihai
rawa nei i rite ki tana i tumanako ai, na konei i taki
mai te mate i mate ai ia. Mahue iho ana e ia tona
iwi ki te ao nei, e mate ana i te nama taimaha; me
he mea i tika nga tikanga he ora nui rapea to ratou.
Kaore rapea nga Maori o Ahuriri i whiwhi rawa i te
kakenga haeretanga o te utu o te whenua i reira. Ko
o ratou rawa kua riro i nga roia me o ratou hoa i
kiia ra he hoa aroha ao ratou, a e noho rawakore
ana ratou inaianei. Kimihia ana e nga Pakeha, kitea
ana nga moni i pau i runga i nga mahi a nga roia i
te taha Maori i Ahuriri, i te wa i timataria ai aua
mahi e te Hihana tae noa mai ki tenei wa, hui katoa
kua nui ake i te RUA TE KAU MANO PAUNA., otira
kaore ano kia kotahi nua nei whakawakanga i riro ai

comparatively happy, and the only " grievance"
which ever disturbed the even tenor of their lives
was an occasional dispute about the weight of a pig,
a hag of wheat, or a bundle of flax, when bartering
with the traders. But then, in those halcyon days,
they never troubled themselves with politics and the
thousand and one other matters which, at a later
period, made their lives miserable; neither were they
plagued by Native Ministers and Repudiation
lawyers. The only chiefs of note now remaining are
Tareha and Renata Kawepo. The latter is a man,
whose influence in the district is great, and, without
doubt, now that Karaitiana is gone, it will be much
greater. Karaitiana's people will require a man of
age, experience, and honesty to guide them; and we
think they could not do better than to put themselves
under the guidance of Renata Kawepo. We do not
expect they will do this: nevertheless, we repeat that,
they could not do better. He is a man possessed of
great intelligence and strength of character, and is
not at all likely to allow himself to be led away by
scheming adventurers, be they who they may. In
referring to those who have gone from among us it
is proper to speak with sympathy and kind feeling—
their failings should be forgotten and their virtues
remembered. In speaking of the late Karaitiana,
therefore, it is with all kindness and sympathy that
we say we think the intricate net of debt and diffi-
culty which he had woven around himself had much
to do with his, comparatively speaking, early death.
The trouble and strain upon his mind no doubt
brought on the illness which has resulted in his
decease. During late years he has spent thousands
of pounds in fruitless endeavours to secure pros-
perity for himself and his people, but only succeeded
in getting still more involved in debt and difficulty.
The only result of all his efforts was that the
management of his lands passed into other hands;
his flocks gone, the wool money always going to
another—and that other constantly requiring more.
These things we know preyed upon his mind, and,
together with the bitter disappointment of his expec-
tations with regard to the Native policy of the present
Ministry, brought on an illness which has resulted
fatally, He has left his people involved in heavy
debt, instead of being, as they should be, very com-
fortably off. The Natives of Ahuriri have derived
but little benefit, if any, from the increased value of
land in that district. Their riches have gone to
lawyers and nominal friends, and they are now pour.
It is calculated that since Mr. Sheehan started the
Repudiation office in Napier the expenses of the
movement, up to the present time, have been over
TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS; and yet, not a single
case has been gained!

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI,
TE HIHANA RATOU KO NGA MAORI O
NEPIA.
—————«—————
I te taenga o te Hihana ki Nepia i nga ra kua
taha ake nei, i haere ia kia kite i nga Maori o Pako-
whai; engari kihai i puta nui te aroha o nga Maori
o reira ki a ia, pera me mua, ara i te wa i tu ai ia
hei " roia whakorekore" mo ratou. Kihai i roko-
hina atu e ia e pera ana to ratou ahua me mua, ara
te aroha ki a ia me te whakapono ki a ia hei tangata
whakaora i a ratou kei mate i nga tinihanga a nga
Pakeha hara (e ai ki tana ki o mua), hei tangata
whakaora hoki i o ratou whenua. Kua mohio ratou
inaianei, kua kore e whakapono ki a ia. Tenei etahi
Maori kei Turanga nei i hoki mai i reira, e ki ana i
tu a riri nga tangata ki a ia i tona taenga ki taua
kainga; i hangai pu te kupu ki a ia e pai ana kia
hinga tenei Kawanatanga; katahi ia ka riri, ka mea
kaore i roa tona Kawanatanga e whakamatauria ana.
waiho kia roa e tu ana katahi ka kitea nga mahi pai
e mahia e ratou. Tetahi, i te hui nui a Renata
Kawepo i Omahu, i huihui ra nga iwi maha ki reira
o Wairarapa haere atu ki te tai Hauauru, he kupu
whakahe ki tenei Kawanatanga etahi o nga kupu i
oti i taua hui. Ko Renata marire ano e kiia ana he
nui tona kino ki a ratou, he nui tona hiahia kia hinga
atu ratou. Ta matou kupu me whakamanawanui a
Renata; e kore e roa e tatari ana. Ki ta matou
whakaaro, ka tu he pootitanga ki Ahuriri a mua ake
nei, e kore e nui nga pooti a nga Maori o reira e
hoatu ki nga hoa o tenei Kawanatanga.

When Mr. Sheehan was at Napier the other day
he visited the Natives at Pakowhai, but he did not
receive so cordial a reception as used to be accorded
to him when he was their " repudiation lawyer. " He
did not find them the same trusting, confiding crea-
tures who used to welcome him as their deliverer.
from the machinations of wicked Pakehas and as the
saviour of their lands. They have learned to know
better, and no longer trust him. Natives now in
Gisborne, who were present on the occasion, state
that he was treated with but scant courtesy, and
bluntly told that the fall of the present Ministry
was a thing very much to be desired; whereat the
honorable gentleman became very indignant, and
declared, with a considerable degree of heat, that
his Government had not been sufficiently tried yet;
only let them remain in office a little while longer
and it would be seen what good things they would
do. • Again, at Renata Kawepo's monster meeting,
held at Omahu a few weeks ago, which was attended
by representatives from the Wairarapa and West
Coast tribes, resolutions were passed hostile to the
present Government. Renata himself, we are in-
formed, is very bitter against them, and very anxious
to see them turned out. Let Renata have patience;
he will not have to wait long. We do not think that
at the next election many Maori votes in the Ahuriri
district will be recorded in favor of supporters of
the present Ministry.
CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor of the Waka Maori.
Te Kopua, district of Hikurangi,
March 6th, 1879.
FRIEND, —We salute you and your friends engaged
in the navigation of the WAKA. Here is some cargo
For you to take on hoard of our WAKA; it may be
little, nevertheless it is from this people who are
oppressed and injured by the strong winds which
bring evil upon the people and upon the land. May
you prosper. Carefully ballast the WAKA, lest it
lose its equilibrium and overset; lest it be said it
was overset by a whirlwind from the land, whereas,
in fact, it would be from the ocean—(the land, the
Maories; the ocean, the Pakehas). Some winds are
fair, some are stormy: with the latter comes rain—
(floods). Enough of this; there is a meaning, how-
ever, in everything I have said above—let the white
and the black both consider it.
Take the following from Hikurangi on hoard, that
it may be known by the white and the black, the
salt-water and the fresh-water—(the Pakehas and
Maories). This is the word of Tukaroto in reference
to the Kopua meeting—the great meeting of the
island. This meeting is not called with the intention
of admiring or praising Grey and his friend, whose
name the people of the island are informed is
" Sheehan. " Tawhiao has no words whatever to
speak to them. The March meeting will pull them
to pieces; but wait till the day comes. The chief
thing (i. e., the chief object of the meeting) will be
to condemn both them and their Government. Let
it not be thought Tawhiao will speak to them in
these days (now passing). Nothing will be said (to
them). The only thing which is now said is, that
probably they will not put in an appearance, This
meeting is not got up for them. Let them not exult
in the idea that it is for them. It is for the tribes
of the world, for the purpose of condemning the

taka anake te tarutaru e tupu ana, he oehi te ingoa

momona o aua wahi, he nui te tarutaru, he nui hoki

[The writer of the above letter is a well known chief
of rank among the Waikatos who, without doubt, is
behind the scenes. It will be seen that the Wai-
katos are not ignorant of the nature and intention of
the iniquitous Government Land Purchase Act •
passed last session. From other most reliable infor-
mation which we have received from Waikato we
doubt whether Grey and Sheehan will even receive
an invitation to be present at the meeting. They
may get up a bogus invitation, but if they do we
shall be in a position to expose it, as well as to give
a thoroughly truthful account of the proceedings of
the meeting. We fancy if the great Maori quack
doctor, Mr. Sheehan, were to be told the names of
some of the chiefs who correspond with us he would
be aghast. The time however has not yet come to
make them known. ]
THE SAHARA DESERT.
—————•—————
This is a vast tract of country in Northern and
Central Africa. It presents, almost throughout its
whole extent, the appearance of a naked arid plain
of sand, destitute of water or vegetation, except in
certain spots, which are named oases. If the sand
be considered as the ocean, the Sahara has its bays,
and its islands, or oases, fertile in groves and pas-
tures, and in many instances containing a great
population. The eastern division contains many very
large oases and a vast number of small ones. It
stretches across the continent of Africa, from the
Atlantic on the West, covering a space, In its
greatest length, of about 2000 miles. Its breadth
may be estimated at 1, 000 miles. It is by far the
greatest desert in the world. Palm trees grow on
its borders. The principal products oi the oases are
gums of different kinds, dates, and salt. Among its
wild animals are the camel, the gazelle, and the os-
trich. The desert contains a variety of wandering
tribes, Arabs, Moors, &c. They live chiefly on the
milk of their flocks, with barley-meal, and dates.
The poorer sort go naked, except the females, who
commonly wrap a clout about their middle. When
they move from one place to another, most of them
ride on camels. The camel is a large animal, com-
mon in those countries, with a hunch on its back. It
is able to cany burdens of 1, 000 pounds weight.
Some have two hunches on their backs, and are fit
either to carry burdens, or for men to ride ou.
Camels will continue 10 or 12 days without eating or
drinking, and keep water a long time in their
stomachs for their refreshment. The Arabs are the
descendants of the Ishmaelites mentioned in Scrip-
ture. Our Native friends will remember the pas-
sage in the 37th chapter, of Genesis: —" And they
lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a com-
pany of Ishmaelites came from Grilead with their
camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to
carry it down to Egypt. "
The following extract from an English paper ia
reference to this great desert will, no doubt, prove
interesting to our readers: —

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
" He maha nga tikanga o enei ra i whakaarohia e
te tangata hei whakatuwhera i a Awherika e tu-
whera ai mo nga mahi hokohoko me nga mahi
whakakake haere i tana whenua; otira kaore rawa he
tikanga i rite te nui me te whakamiharo ki te tikanga
e kiia nei kia tukua te moana nui nei kia huri ki
runga ki te mania o Tahara. E rua nga tikanga e
korerotia ana. Ko tetahi he huihui kia kotahi nga
moana waitai kei uta i taua wahi, he mea kari ki te
awa; a ka keria ano tetahi awa hei kuwaha ki te
moana Metitareeniana, hei haerenga mo te tai, ka
peratia me te awa i karia i Huehi. (He taone no
Ihipa a Huehi. I karia he awa i reira hei hui i te
Metitareeniana ki te Moana Whero. ) Ka peneitia
he tikanga ka taea te ono mano maero tapawha te
rahi o te moana, ina huia aua moana i uta—ko te
tikanga tenei e paingia ana e te Kawanatanga o
Parani (Wi-Wi nei. ) Ko tetahi whakaaro e mea ana
kia hurihia te moana nui tonu ki runga ki taua
mania katoa o Tahara; ka pena, ka ono te kau ai
mano maero te rahi o taua moana i uta. Ka mahia
ano he kuwaha ki te moana nui ki waho. E kiia ana
e ahua tawharua ana taua koraha, e hakahaka iho
ana i te moana o waho tona papa. E tae ana mai
taua wahi tawharua ki te tekau ma rua maero te
tatanga mai ki te akau i te moana nui ki waho. Ki
te whakaaro a etahi tangata tohunga o mua, he
moana taua wahi tawharua i mua ai, he mea heke
haere ano ki te moana nui; engari no muri ka puta
ake he tahuna i te ngutu-awa, a puni ana, muri
rawa mai ka mimiti te moana i uta i te kaha o te ra,
pakoko ana. Inaianei e kiia ana kia keria he awa
kia hoki mai ano te moana ki taua tahora whakangaro
ai. Ko te Makenehi e ki ana kia whakaturia he
kainga Mihinare, he kainga hokohoko tetahi i te taha
ki te moana o taua wahi tawharua. E mea ana ia
kia kohikohia he moni, kia rua mano pauna, hei
moni oranga mo etahi tangata haere ki te tirotiro
haere i taua wahi, kia mohiotia ai me i kore e taea te
whakatuwhera i te awa o mua, kia haere ai te wai o
te moana ki roto ki taua whenua tawharua. Tera
atu etahi tikanga e tika ana kia ata whakaarohia,
ara ko te ahua-ketanga o nga whenua i te tahataha
o taua tawharua-tanga i te matao ina hurihia taua
tahora i te moana. Ko te waihotanga o taua tahora
kai kore hei moana rerenga kaipuke, e pai ana ano.
Otira me matua titiro me he mea e momona ana ranei
te oneone o taua wahi o Awherika, e taea ai nga
painga me te oranga e whakaarohia ana e te ngakau. "
PANUITANGA.
He Panuitanga tenei kia mohio ai nga tangata
katoa e whai tikanga ana ki Whakoau wahi o
Pipiwhakao, ko a te 15 o nga ra o Aperira tu ai te
whakawa ki Oweta e nga Komiti Maori, e te Komiti
12, me nga Komiti tuturu o nga takiwa e toru, o
Mahaki, o Rongowhakaata, o Ngaitahupo. Koi turi
nga kai whakatete ki tenei panuitanga. He papatipu
te whenua, engari kua oti te ruri i roto i te ruritanga
o Pipiwhakao.
He mea tuku tenei panui i raro i te mana o te-

" Among the many schemes for the opening up of
Central Africa to civilisation and commerce which
are now almost daily brought before the public none
are so ambitious, and yet none so simple, as those
which involve the letting of the sea into the Sahara
and the desert sands of the interior of Algeria and
Tunis. Two distinct plans are now definitely pro-
posed: one, which has the countenance of the French
Government, involves the creation of an inland
Algerian sea, with an opening into the Mediterranean
at Aurez, and covering an area of some 6000 square
miles; this plan would be practically combining and
extending several salt lakes and marshes which exist
in the interior of Algeria, and uniting them with the
sea much after the same way, only on a larger scale,
as has been done in the case of the Bitter Lakes and
the Suez Canal. (Suez is a city of Egypt. The
Suez canal connects the Red Sea and the Mediterra-
nean. ) The other scheme is more gigantic, and con-
templates turning an area of 60, 000 square miles of
the Sahara into an inland lake, with an opening into
the Atlantic somewhere about lat. 25 degs. north. In
the Great Desert there is believed to exist a deep
depression; indeed, it is well ascertained that por-
tions of the desert are below the level of the sea.
This supposed regular and extensive depression is
called Eljuf, and is said to extend from within 12
miles of the sea-shore to regions in the close neigh-
bourhood of Timbuctoo. The theory of many an-
cient and modern geographers is that Eljuf was
originally filled with water, which flowed into the
ocean; hut that a bar having gradually formed at
the entrance the flow inwards was stopped, and the
heat of a vertical sun caused the inside water to
evaporate. It is now proposed to undo what Nature
has done, to cut a channel through this bar, and re-
admit the water of the Atlantic into the now parched
desert sands. Mr. D. Mackenzie, who has been
lecturing upon the subject, proposes the establish-
ment of a missionary and commercial station at Cape
Suby, on the seaward side of Eljuf, and the raising
of a fund of £2, 000 for exploration purposes, to
test the practicability of re-opening the ancient
channel, and of letting the water of the Atlantic
into the depressed portion of the desert. There are
many questions beyond the mere feasibility of this
plan to be considered, such as the effects on the
temperature of the surrounding countries which the
creation of an enormous body of water would have.
As far as the bare question of the advantage of
turning an impracticable wilderness into a ship-
bearing ocean is concerned, there can be no doubt of
the benefit that might be derived from such a feat.
One of the first points to consider is whether that
particular portion of Africa is sufficiently productive
to be able to realise the theoretical advantages it
ought to confer. "
