Son, the Wananga, Salutation to you:
1 am about to send my word on board of you,
and for you to send it to our friends on the other side
of this Island, whether European or Maori. The
reason I write to you, I see that the water is coming
in 'the canoes now, then I thought that death is under.
So I write to you if you have the bayler to dry the
water of our canoes, if you have bailed them dry, so
that the canoes will not upset, and we shall all die,
the water that will upset these canoes, are chiefs here,
and the Government at a distance. It was the
Government that gave lease, and the Court and the
chiefs agreed, and spent the money of the Lands.
That is the reason that these canoes will upset, These
things are like a congereel (Ngoiro) and (Tangaha-
ngaha) which throttles the throat that is the fish
whom (Tama-rereti,) was throttled by and the said
fish, is like the Laws of the Government at present,
these thoughts will do.
Pehimana Horua.
Friend, Pehimana, it is not that the Wananga is
to bail the water of the canoe, it is yourself that should
dry it. He is the gathered of the bailers of different

To the Editor of the Wananga friend salutation to you,
The Editor of the thoughts of all the tribes who
wishes to send their words to different parts of the
globe. You have come in these days like a first born
child of your tribe, and your first word calling to the
Island to send true thoughts, and other thoughts of
the mind, and deaths as a load for the Wananga to
carry them to thoughtful tribes, and wise men is very
well.

then. This is the only wealth a Maori has now on
this Island, is the Land, and if it is consumed, he has
no reason to be called a Maori tribe, but like a dying
person, so the Europeans who are desiring to lease
Land in the said boundary which is shown can see
clearly not to go to that district, and • lease, it might
be alike your going to one person, and perhaps raise
a disturbance, and you might be jeered, let God
inflict the decease to their bodies or else themselves.
If you or others persist you will have to come to the
said (Putaiki, they nave the word of the whole tribe,
and they will settle as they desire, you must not go
to the (Hapus) or chiefs and ask, they have no
authority to let or hold Land to Europeans, the leases
of one person in the said boundary is not settled, and
the lease of (Kata), by name 50 acres to a European
in the said boundary which, was leased to him by one
person, by which some of them was aggrieved, and
nearly killing a man, it was the (Putaiki,) and a
Officer of the Government that stopped the lease and
sent the European back to his own place. (Tuhou-
rangi's) word is fixed that all plans of the said
boundary from now and the names of the (Hapus,)
and person, and Land, and its boundaries iu its
covenant, and the name of the district is to be settled
by the (Putaiki.)

To the Wananga Friend, salutation to you.
You are born from the breakers of the sea, in
the year 1874, If you had been born in the year 1810,
My heart would have been very glad. Friend, the
Wananga, Aotea and his people are a float, taken, by
the breakers of the sea, nevertheless, you pray so
that I shall be saved, so that I will return to my
Land. The water is coming from my eyes, conclude
that. Welcome the guest of days gone by, there is
no food at this place of abode, the food is at a distance,
Moi, e welcome.
Thomas Reina.
Friend, the Law will not have power with your
Land, If you have sold it, or if it is confiscated, if
you sold it without a Crown Grant, then the Law
might be able to return your Land.
Wananga.
DIED ON THE 12TH OF DECEMBER 1874.
Tihorewaru, died on the 12th. of December 1874.
We do not know what he died of, a while before
Peni told him to draw his store to another part, so to
have their place clear, a few days afterwards, he
remembered the word about shifting the house, he
went for his two oxens, and put them on to the
house. They were several persons there at the time,
when the house had been shifted 20 yards from its
former place, he called to the bullocks to stand, he
turned the bullocks and called to them to pull; the
chain parted, and the bullocks stood, he untied tae
end of the chain, that was attached to the bullocks
and the people looked, and he came to where the
people where. One of them looked that is
appearance was altered, and he fell his feet was
kicking, the person who saw him called but that
Tihorewaru was dying, his own son, came with a
bucket of water, he raised and wiped the water from
his eyes. And said to give him some medicine Pain.
Killer, after he had drank it, he died, there was little
medicine the greater part was water.
His father Lasarus te Pikitoetoe was a very
brave warrior in wars, in formed days, when ever
this warrior came in front, the enemy always retreated,
Tihorewaru was also a brave man, breaking in bullocks
and also horses and ploughing. There is not a young
man in. this Province, that will equal him in strength,
and knowledge up to his death, in his works, a
Pakeha is the only oue that will equal him in
strength and knowledge, he was about 70 years of
age. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Punua was the person of Patea, it was him who
put Kahukura at Patea, it was afterward that Whiti-
kaupeka arrived at Patea, to the place of his Ancesters,
of Mokaipatea, Tamatea, Whatumamao, Rongomaitara,
Hauiti, Mokotuaiwa, it was Mokotuaiwa who defeated
Ngatihotu, the pah's that were taken, Akura, Paetutu,
Ngapukakaramu, Hakoropera, these are Ngatihotu,
pah's which were taken by my Ancesters.
Secondly, We are Whitikaupeka's real offsprings,
that are a live at present and Whitikaupeka's,
influence is still standing.
Thirdly, When Werewere Ancestor died, Whiti,
arrived, and the death, of the person was paid.
Fourthly, When Ngatiapa "was defeated the
survivors flew to rue ' at Patea, after that Ripoarangi,
and his son Tuope was killed by Ngatiapa, Whiti-
kaupeka, went and killed Takinga and Rewenga and
brought Tuope hither, when • Tuope saw that his
Master was killed, then he called out (kuku waewae)
of my Lord for rae only. All the tribe of this Island
knows, that Whitikaupeka his the strong hand at
Patea, and Tuwharetoa the strong hand at Taupo,
These new tales of now. a days 1 do not know leave
there is plenty of time in the year, cease at present.

ROBERT BRUCE AND THE BLOODHOUND.
Robert the Bruce had at one time a bloodhound,
or sloth-hound, of which he was extremely fond. For
u long time he made him his constant companion, caressed
and fed him with his own hand, and so much did the
hound love his noble master in return, that he followed
his footsteps everywhere. How it came to pass we do
not know, but Ins mortal enemy, John of Lorn, got
possession of the same hound, and by its means made
' the Bruce run a narrow risk of losing his life than he
ever did in all his other troubles, and escapes. At one
time he found himself hemmed in between two parties
of his enemies, the English General, being before him
in the plain, with an army arrayed in order of battle,
and John of Lorn coming in behind with eight hundred.
So the Bruce, seeing that he could not then fight,
divided his men into three parties, and bade them each
to shift for themselves as they best could. Immediately
John of Lorn, who was aware of this movement, set
the hound upon the scent, to find out with which party
the King was gone. Bruce, finding himself thus pur-
sued, divided the hundred men who were now with
him again into three parties, which again separated, and
took different routes. But the poor faithful hound,
little knowing that he was betraying his beloved master
to destruction, still unerringly followed upon his track

Kb nga Maori katoa o tenei takiwa kei te rarura-
ru Inaianei & te mahi i a ratou kai, ta te mea kanui
te pai o enei rangi, kua rongo hoki matou he tokomaha
i ki atu ki te Pakeka kia te 10 herengi mo te ra ki te
overtake the Bruce, and by no means allow him to
escape. So these five came up to the King, who with
his own hand slew four, while his foster-brother killed
the fifth. He cared for them very little, It was the
hound that Le feared. He being still with the large
company, might bring them all presently upon him ;
and though he could overcome five men, he of course
could not manage five hundred. The poor King was
now so overcome with weariness, through long foot-
travel, and fatigue of fighting, and heaviness of spirit,
that he was upon the point of giving all up, and sit him
down in a wood, saying he could go no further. ' Then
it was that a few kind words timely spoken saved a
King and Kingdom, his poor foster brother bade him
take heart, put him in mind of what was at stake, and
of all that hung upon his single life, and persuaded
him just to make one effort more. Up then the
wearied warrior rose, and once more continued his wav.
But still the baying of the hound was borne nearer
upon his ear,—if some way could not be found of
putting him of that fatal scent, escape was impossible.
But God's providence now interposed, just at that spot
was a stream, which came brattling through the wood
clear and fast. "I have heard," sard the Bruce, "that if
one wade a bow-shot through a running water, it will
put a hound off the track, for the scent will not lie."
So his foster-brother, and himself waded knee-deep
with the current for a hundred yards, or so, and after-
wards plunged into the wood again. When John of
Lorn came up with his large company to the place
where his five men lay dead, he got into a dreadful
fury, but said that presently he must have revenge,
for he knew that the King was not far off. Just then
they came to the running water, he smelt backward
and forward, as if he did not know which way to go,
and John of Lorn perceived that all his trouble had
been in vain, and that he had best return whence he
came. So it was that at this time, through God's
Mercy, Bruce and Scotland were saved.
An English ship from London to Auckland with
upwards of 400 immigrants was totally destroyed by
fire off the Cape of Good Hope. . Two boats left the
ship, but only one of them has yet been heard of,
having been picked up after having been for ten days
on the Ocean. Out of 80 that went in this boat three
only survived aa the others died of madness ere they
were rescued.
Since our last issue another large ship has safely
arrived at Napier from London with 326 souls an
board. We hear that more -are on their way hither
under the favorable auspices of the free emigration
system.
The Napier Races are advertised for the 18th and
19th of March with, good sums of money to be run
for. There will be some Maori horses to contend
and here we would again say as in our last, that if
they start in any Race, they will all run for the
money. - Maori Weed will perhaps have a dance of
again coming in first, also Whanganui and one or
two others now at this pah.
All the Natives in this District are at present
busily employed in harvesting their crops for which.
we have had so far favorable weather. We have
heard of several offering the Europeans 10s. a day

for binding the corn, and then were not able to get
them as plenty of work was obtainable elsewhere.
Some time ago the inhabitants of this District
(Pakowhai,) and also of the Papakura District both.
European and Maori presented a petition to His
Honor Supt. asking that the trains might be
allowed to stop at the Pakowhai as it would be a
considerable boon to the inhabitants in these outlying
places. We are sure that the present Government
will do all in their power to increase the traffic on
the Rail-way which is a favourite way of travelling
with the Maories. We also know that Lands lying
contiguous to the line greatly increase in their value,
and by this means the Natives inland before long
will be able to look with pleasure at the iron horse,
knowing that he is opening and making their
Lands of value to them.

To the Wananga, who sends address to the whole
of New Zealand greeting to you.
To multiply your peace, it.is a thing you have
been able to declare, the grievances, and pains, which
are inflicted on this Island, for their promising words,
which was said to the Maori chiefs, in the year that
has passed by, to combine their good.
But remember the days will come yet that
this Island will be tempted, in things of darkness,
worse than those which have inflicted the Maori
race, It is also for the same things, I send these
few words to the Wananga, who says come unto me
you chiefs and you small people. I will carry your
plans to the whole world, to raise (Papa's) neck who
is dead, it is true, it is like the two eyes of a person,
they are both close together, and do not see the other
eye, the reason is the nose divides them, likewise,
friends, it is our dividing, that screen us, staying at
the head of this fish of (Papa,) on the shoulders, on
the belly, and the tail, and the middle, so that is
how the word cannot be confirmed, different opinions
arises that is how the Maori race dies, but the lower
paihere witi, a, kihai i whiwhi, ta te mea he nui te
mahi i etahi atu wahi.
I tetahi wa kua hori nei, ka tukua tetahi Piti-
hana, e nga tangata o te takiwa ki Pakowhai, me

kaha, ki te whakanui i nga mahi mo runga i te Re-
riwe, he ara pai hoki ia, ki te haere ki nga Maori,
A, e mohio ana ano matou, ko nga whenua e takoto

mea, e kore e roa, tena nga Maori o uta e titiro ahua-
reka ki te (Hoiho maitai rino nei,) me te mohio koia

class is ihe one that is wronged by the thoughts of
the chiefs.
Now ihe thoughts of the Maori race has
returned to (Papa,) which is cut up by selling and
leasing, and mortgage, and evil tongue of the English
race, by these words, this tribe. It is only the lips
that embrace, but the heart is grasping at the Land,
Sons the head and strength, of the English race is
covered, to take New Zealand, but 1 thing of this
side, as to offspring which, is to come, they will be
no Maori name on this Island;
And how will the Maori race hold a portion of
New Zealand, tie it to the Law, but I think it comes
from the one name, life and death, this name Law,
think how many years the house of Parliament at Port
Nickolson has been making Laws, to save the people
and the Land, a great many years, this is the thing that
has brought diseases to the Maori people, look buying
lease, surveyors, and other methods, which is held,
and all worked by the Government, under the
authority, and name of the Law, and do not allow
several Pakeha's, who are anxious for the same work.
The Crown Grant is rather a good part in this Law,
This is the best Law for the Maori race, this is our
chaunt, hold the Land and were will the people go
to, (e ru ai moko) hold, suppress, tight fast, this is
the only right Law that will save the Maori race,
riming after the Laws of the Pakeha's, an inactive
person, will not be able to deal with, it, but friends
work the said Laws by thoughtful persons so that the
Island will be saved, so that these words will be
accomplished. If the milk is well beaten, butter will
come, If the nose is hit, the blood will come, if a
quarrel is urged a fight will come, the writing says,
seek and you will see, knock and it will be open to
you, friend, by knocking it will be opened to you, by
seeking you \\vill see.
Listen you chiefs ou this Island, work at the
work, with, knowledge, so that your name will be
mentioned in the days to come. The Maori race,
retain, what you are to hold, think, I will hold some
portion of the said word, as though-it was the pupil
of the eye, tie with my finger, write it down my
mind will be the Wananga board.
To the Wananga, do not leave off your kindness
and hospitality, tie it to your neck, write it down, tie
it yourself. Readers of the Wananga, the district of
• Ngatiraukawa has met with the same disease buying
Land, so it is so shown like these to friends on this
Island, be stout hearted or be patient, in holding
some portions of Land, for food in this world, that
is all.

DECEMBER 25TH 1874.
To the Editor of the Wananga, friend salutation to you,
Put these few light words, as. a load for the
Wananga. (This is an answer.) On the 21st of
December 1874 I saw an answer for my words
which I sent to the Wananga, on the 24th. of Sept.
last, in the Waka Maori, who says, that I stated that
the Government Land Commissioners &c., were Satan,
Listen my friends, I did not write the word, Satan,
for Government Officers, but for Pakeha's who
beguile the Maories. If a Pakeha is seen doing the
same, I beguiling, he will be called Satan, but this
person states in his letter which he sent to the Waka
Maori, that the word Satan was for Government
Officer, for Land purchasers of the Government.
This person is teaching me, so now I know, he also
states, before the Land Court was held at Otaki,
Ngatikapu, Thomas Ransfield tribe went to Welling-
ton to ask for money as payment for their Land. He
also states that no Laud purchaser of the Government
went to Maori pah's, and asked for Land, I did not
state that some Government Officers went to Maori
pah's asking for Land from the people of the District of
Manawatu, and Kukutauaki, but now I know, he says
they did go, and he also states, at the second holding
of the Court at Otaki, one of the Government Officers
He whakaatu kia mohio, ko te Hui ka tu i roto i

went into the Court, and listened to which Hapu's
of Ngatiraukawa the Court decided the Lands on,
the Government Officer never said a word to the
Court. And I did not state, that the Government
Officer said the least word big or little on the Lands
that passed at the Court at Otaki, but he informs me
the Officer of Government did speak large words on
the said Lands that passed the Court at Otaki. He
also says, it is not right to call the person who
advances money: Satan, but the person who
demands money 011 advance, is Satan. 1 did not
also say in my letter which I sent to the Wananga,
the advancer of money was Satan, but he informs me
now the advancer of money is Satan. Friend listen
to the clearness of my words, which, is shown by my

Land that those words was for, but for the Land, I
did not also say what Pakeha was Satan, but Pakeha's,
I did not also say to return the tilings that are past,
but the things that are before us, here is the word
caution to be cautious, to things that have to come.
It also enlightens the root of the decease, the way to

look properly into those last words. My friend, so
