AA0s~o~ NAA~ s%AANA home.
 While Wetea was singing his fare we'll, the Ngapuhi warriors crowded round with admiration at the bravery of man who, with death staring him in the face, could among his enemies, with unblanched cheeks and firm voice, express his feelings in song. Pity | filled their hearts, and they besought their leader to spare his life, but Hongi, recollecting the death of his son-in-law, rushed upon Wetea, and with sword hacked off portion of his breast, which he thrust on the fire. With the blood streaming from his body, the noble youth paused not an instant in his singing, and his counte- nance betrayed not sign of fear nor of the, anguish he suffered. AS he fin | iShed his song, he looked at HOngi with scornful smile, as he asked him: like you can do?" This taunt so en- ragged Hongi that he rushed at his helpless victim and plunged the weapon which he held in his hand into the latter's throat, and then, applying his lips to the wound, Hongi greedily drank in the young fellows life blood as it flowed. Wetea soon fell forward and died, and his fellow captive, who had been witness of the foul deed, suffered a similar fate. Their bodies were afterward consigned to the haangi (oven) and eventually eaten. This piece of treachery and breach of honor was the greatest stain upon Hongi's character, and several of his most influential chiefs, including Te Vera, Te Morenga, Wharemu, and others, declined to return to their home with his party.
 The Ngapuhi natives remained some time at the scene of their victory, ana feasted on the bodies of their victims Then they departed. leaving behind the terrible scene of carnage and the once formidable pa-now in ruins Many prisoners were taken back by them to their home in the north, and, as they approached their native shores once more, hundreds of their relatives were there to welcome them. Among them was Hongi's daughter, whose husband had been killed at the attack on Totara pa, and when she was in- formed of his death her grief was dreadful to behold. Seizing her fa- ther's (HongD sword, she rushed to the waters edge to where canoe contain ing 16 female prisoners lay. These she slaughtered without the least hes itation on her part, and while the blood of her hapless victims reddened the waves as they curled upon the snow-white beach, she ascended hill, and, in view of all the tribe, killed herself with the same weapon.

The Newtown bee., 1904-03-25

Gue pTISOueTS udkea Dy dOnSl at 1OUd- "a, were two young men of high rank, named respectively Wetea and Tuke- hu. They had surrendered on being called by name, and were led by Hongi among his host of armed warriors. At his command they were bound, and others of the party were instructed to scoop out a hollow in the ground near by, and to kindle fire in it. Then stones were placed on the fire to form Maori haangi, CT oven. The treach- cry of Hongi was now apparent, and the young men saw they had been foul ly entrapped-that they were to be killed, roasted, and eaten by their con- querors. While the Nyapuhi leader (Hongi) stood with poised spear ready to slay the bound and defenceless youths, the elder brother, Wetea, re- quested that they should not be killed at once, and said: ''Spare us little while, that we may utter our words of farewell and love to our people, our home, and the world" Hongi there- fore paused and looked at his two cap- tives while they bade farewell to their home and people, and while Wetea composed and chanted the following song:
 O beautiful calm,
 Placid and fair, Out on the sea! No dewdrops or rain Beclouded the sky, When Han-hao-tu-puni Went on his long voyage. Bewildered was Not to follow him then And sing love song, | AS thou, Ahu-rei, l Padded him far away, Past rock-jutting point,
