Insert in the Wananga, and send it to the two races, Maori and Pakeha, the words of our ancesters which is below the troop of Ngati- tamawahine, Ruakuri and Tawhao was to take Mokaipatea, to be taken for them, they killed Tama- pou, the said tribe saw Tutemohuta, who returned Heretaunga, Tutemohuta came upon the said troop of about a thousand residing at Mangateweka, when the said troop saw Tutemohuta, and said stay here, and sleep, for the night, and in the morning, Tutemohuta mind was eased, and said to the tribe who was duping him, Tipia, Tahito the Sun that is standing, my feet is like the tide that is flooding, and tried to catch, and kill him, he had got on the other side of the Mangateweka River, and arrived at Ohingaiti, Patea, in the morning, it is at Otara below Rangitikei where Rua-te-Kuri and Tawhao's troop was defeated, cease here, so that the reader will not be wearied. Paramena te Naonao, Hiraka te Raro, Ihakara te Kohiti, Hakopa te Ahunga. FEBRUARY 21ST l875. To the Editor oi the Wananga, salutation to you. Cease greeting you. That is a Notice of ours alluding to the talk at the Land Court at Palmerston Manawatu. So that the two races, Maori and Pakeha will hear the principal words of this Maori Land Court. Friends, these races, Maori and Pakeha who reside on this Island, New Zealand. Listen, the decision of this Court is not correct, it was in difficulty, this is the difficulty, by admitting people who have no claim on this Land Mangatainako, Wairarapa. We the people who have a claim to said Land were not admitted, these are the Hapus. Ngati-te-Wahineiti, Ngati-Tutaiaroa, Ngati-Mawhai. Who have a proper claim to this Land to Ma- ngohao, Mangatainoka, Wairarapa. These are the Hapus who resided on it from their ancesters, parents, and down to the offsprings, and still residing on this Land at the time of the sitting of the Land Court for these Lands. We do not approve of the decision of the Court, we have left the Court open, so that these Lands will go through, the Court a second time. Nireaha Tamati. And whole tribe. TAMAHERE, WAIKATO, JANUARY 12TH 1875. To the Wananga of Aotearoa :—This is a message unto the Wananga, stand son on your • Island, and be at time. We strait and true in all your doings, hold to the Laws and Gospel, this is a word to all the people, of this Island. Cease being ignorant, cease,also.in. saying neutral of Hauhau, because it is one •Island, and one , people, a Maori. Now we all know, we are dead, although, print or Newspapers,

                             TE  WANANGA.
 what will be done to knowledge, or in what way it
 ought to be by the unity of the people, and the words
 also, then it will be right, you are enquiring to these
 talks or addresses to be confessed to you, the right
 and the wrong, which I will confess to you, the one
 of December 5th 1874, the Government took Tawhare,
 this Land  was  given  by the Governor to William
 Thompson,  and is tribe also, this Land is confiscated.
 Land was taken by the Governor, and given by him
 to William  Thompson,   and his tribe, and he  now
 takes away. There  were  21000 acres at Tawhare,
' which he  allowed  the men   50  acres, which takes
 away this day. For the 50 acres £5, and 2½ acres,
 for the women, 30 acres £3, and one acre. I think
 this is death to us, we all know the very many evils
 of the Government of this Island. First the war
 quarrell with Ngapuhi.  Secondly the  quarrell with
 Rangihaeata.  Thirdly the war quarrell at Taranaki.
 Fourth  the war  quarrell  at Waikato.   Firth, the
 quarrell about the Kingi.  Sixth, saying  that the
 Treaty of Waitangi was  made  by  all the people of
 this Island. Seventh, the Maoris has no to do with
 the Parliament.   Eight, Trampling  the words  of
 Tawhiao, which, was  declared by  him, and written |
 down in his mind, not to Sale or Lease Land, telegraphs,
 or roads, people would be put to death. Ninth, the
 Native Land  Court, strangers that had no claim to
 Lands, are compared  to owners  of Land.  Tenth,
 when a Maori and a Pakeha has a case in a Court, and
 if the Maori is in the right, it will be turned, so that
 the Pakeha will be in the right, and the Maori in the
 wrong.  So it is thought that the Laws that is given
 to the world by God and  the Queen are disobeyed,
 that was told to be taken to the whole world, which
 are the Laws, these are they, you shall riot murder,
 love your friend as you do yourself, approve the right,
 disapprove the wrong, him that thinks of me, think
 of the father, who sent rae, and obey also my Laws,
 who was it that trampled, it is the Government, and
 its Ministers, and also the Ministers of God, they all
 turned behind the plough, that is how the Laws got
 astray, which are the Laws that got astray, making
 friends with the person who Sells Land, and disdain
 the person who hold the Land, it was by the Ministers
 the Land was sold for tobacco, pipes, and needles, it
 is a saying, that thy money will perish together with
 thee, as you have cause the Laws of this Island to go
 astray, look also at this word, he that boast will be
 led astray, whether knowledge will be denied, eyes
 will not see, although ears will not hear, although
 prophesying, will be denied. Eleventh, Government
 forbid Land to be brought by • him only, so that it
 will be brought by him  for 1s. 6d., he thinks that
 the Maori people \\vill not like the price, there is no
 other way  they  can go to, because  it is all ready
 penned in, and for hina only to be the Land purchaser,
 so that he will win, when he Sells it to the Pakeha's,
 this is the reason he confined the Sale of Land, by
 the Maori's to Pakeha's, a person must not think that
 the Government confined the Land of the. Maori's, so
 that it will obtained fair by him, No, but it is for
 hina to  win, he  stated formerly, although if the
 person that hold the Land was an old woman, that
 Land will never be sold or bought, shortly afterwards
 sticked to people that sold Land,  but now at the
 present, what is the good of these sort of customs of
Ko  tenei, kua mohio  tatou katoa kua  mate  tatou.
Perehi atu, ka aha tatou ? matauranga ka pewhea ai ?
hua atu ra, ma te kotahitanga o nga tangata, me te
ki hoki, katahi ka tika. E  ui ana koia koe ki enei
korero; kia whakina  atu ki a koe te tika raua ko te
he ?  A tenei ka whakina atu e ahau ki a koe, ko to
nanahi tata nei, i a Tihema i te 5 o nga ra, 1874 ka
tangohia ko Tauwhare, e te Kawanatanga. Ko tenei
Whenua;  he Whenua  i Oatitia e te Kawanatanga mo
Wiremu  Tamehana, ara, mo tona iwi katoa ano hoki.
Ko  tenei Whenua   ia, no te Kau  o te patu a te
Kawanatanga, a nana ano i tuku mai, mo Wiremu
Tamehana mo  tona iwi hoki. Tangohia ake nei ano
e ia. Ko nga  eka i whakaritea ai e ia o taua Whe-
nua o Tauwhare, e 21,000 eka, ma te tane, e 50 eka.
Tangohia  ana e ia i tenei ra, mo te 50 eka, e £5, e
rua 2½ eka nae te hawhe, tangohia ana e ia mo te 30
eka, e £3 pauna, kotahi eka. Na, he mate tenei no
tatou.  Ki taku  mahara, kei te mohio tatou katoa ki
nga tini hara o te Kawanatanga o tenei Motu. Tua-
tahi, ko te whawhai  kia Ngapuhi.  Tuarua, ko  te
whawhai  kia te Rangi-haeata. Tuatoru, ko te wha-
whai ki Taranaki. Tuawha,  ko te whawhai ki Wai-
kato.  Tuarima, ko te riringa ki te Kingitanga. Tu-
aono, ko  te kiinga, na nga tangata katoa o te Motu
nei te Tiriti o  Waitangi.   Tuawhitu,   ko  te kore
ritenga a nga Maori ki te Paremata. Tuawaru, ko
te takahi i te kii a Tawhiao,  i Oati ai ki te pepa
kikokiko o tona ngakau, kia kaua e hoko i te Whe-
nua, e reti ranei, e waea ranei, ka mate te tangata.
Tuaiwa, ko te Whakawa   Whenua  Maori.   Ko te
tangata ke, kihai i eke ki te Whenua, rite tonu ki te
tangata nona te  Whenua.   Te tekau, ko te Kooti
Whakawa  hara, he Maori he Pakeha i Whakawakia,
he  Maori te tangata tika, whakapeautia ketia ake,
tika ana ko te Pakeha, he ana ko te Maori. Na ko-
nei i maharatia ai, e takahia ana nga Ture a te Atua,
a te Kuini hoki i tuku mai ai ki te ao : I ki ai, kawea
aku Ture ki te ao katoa. Ko e whea koia nga Ture ?
Koia tenei, kaua koe e patu, arohaina tou hoa ano
kokoe,  whakatikaia ta te tika, whakahokia ta te he.
Koia e mahara ana ki a au, e mahara ana ki te Matua
i tonoa mai ai ahau, e whakarite ana hoki i a aku Ture.
Ko  wai koia nana i takahi ? ko te Kawana ratou ko
ana kai whakahaere  ritenga, me nga Minita hoki o
te Atua,  i tahuri katoa ratou ki muri o te parau, ua
reira i titi ai nga Ture. Ko e .whea koia i titi o nga
Ture ? ko  te whakahoa  ki te tangata hoko i te
Whenua,   ko te kino  ki ta  tangata pupuri  i te
Whenua,  na nga Minita, he hoko i te Whenua ki te
tupeka ki te paipa ki te ngira E ki ana te kupu, kia
pirau ngatahi korua ko to moni, ina koe ka whakatitina
nga Ture o te Motu nei. Titiro atu hoki ki tera kupu,
koia e whakakake ana ka whakaititia, ahakoa mataura-
nga ka whakakahoretia, ahakoa he taringa e kore e ro-
ngo, ahakoa poropititanga e whakakahoretia. Tekau
ma-tahi, ko te riringa a te Kawanatanga ki te Whenua,
kia waiho mana anake e hoko te, Whenua,1 kia hokona
e ia ki te tini-pene, he mahara naana, ka kino kau te
tangata Maori,  ki tenei utu ki te tini-pene, kaore he
rerenga ketanga atu, na te mea, kua oti i a ia te taiepa
kia waiho koia anake te kai hoko Whenua, kia Wiini
koia, ina hokoa e ia ki te Pakeha. Koia nei te take, i
Purua ai e ia te hoko a nga Maori i te Whenua .ki ,te

Na ko tenei ia nei, he aha te tika o enei ta ritenga a te Kawanatanga ? Ki taku mahara, he ritenga kino katoa enei na te Kawanatanga, ki taku mahara ia, kaore ke ritenga a te tangata ki te. tika ki te he, heoi ko te moni te putake. Tuarua ko te wehi ki te mate. Heoi ano nga putake o te tangata i kore ai e kite i te he, kei whea he utu i rahaki atu ? na koia-nei i kore ai e kite i te he. Na Ngati-Haua katoa o te Maungarongo. Na Tuhakaraina rana ko Rapata Tukere, i tuku atu. OTAKI MAEHE, 18 1875. Ki te Kai-tuhi o te Wananga. E hoa, mau e tuku atu aku kupu, ki nga Pakeha, ki nga, Maori. Otira, ki nga tangata katoa. E hoa ma, katahi te mea kino ko te Kooti Whe- nua a te tangata Maori, he tahae i te kainga o tetahi tangata. Na, kia mohio koutou, he mahi kino tenei', e kore e tika tenei mahi te whanako, ara te tupua. Ko nga ingoa tenei, o nga Hapu o taua iwi. Ko Ngatituara. Engari, me ata mahara he ritenga ma te Kawanatanga, ki nga tangata kaore i roto i te pukapuka o taua hoko. E hoa e te Makarini, ki a aroha koe ki nga tangata i waho o taua hoko. Ara, o enei Whenua, e Waihoanga, o Wairarapa, o Otaki, E hoa ina, ko nga rangatira o tana hoko. Ko te Kipihana, ko Hape te Horohau.

I think there is no plan for man to good or evil, money is the root, secondly, frighten of death, these are only the roots that a person don't see the evil, there is no other payment in any other way, that is how it is not seen. By the whole of Ngatihaua, who made peace, sent by Tuhakaraina and Robert Tukere. OTAKI, MARCH 18TH 1875. To the Editor of the Wananga. Friend, insert my words, and send them to Pakeha's, and to Maoris, and to every body. Friends, this is a very bad thing, the Land Court of the Maories, robbing the Land of an other person, as you should know that this is a bad thing, this stealing work is not right, these are the names of the Hapu of the said race, Ngati-Tuara, it would better for the Governor to think of a method for the people who are not in the deeds of said sale. Friend Sir Donald McLean have compassion to the people outside of the sale of this Land Waihoanga, Wairarapa, Otaki. Friend, the chiefs of the said sale is Kipihana and Hape te Horohau. My sayings for these two men, is deep in neck, and shallow in strength. These are my words, here is another saying go and get food for , yourself, it is ebb tide, and the (torea) strikes, that is all. Matangi Teraturoa. TE RIUOPUANGA, PATEA, MARCH 15TH 1875. There was a letter by Ngatipoutama of Whanga- nui about stealing , Land. Friends Hakaraia, Piripi, Ema, and Rena also, work the boundaries of Lands I clearly. I have seen your document, it is wrong, we will be in difficulties by these sorts of thoughts, do it I like Kerenene who brought his thoughts before a meeting of three hundred people held at Waiu, Rangipo which, was clearly decided by us. But as for yours a Whanganui is wrong, leave it off, so that it will not disturb us. Cease to the Wananga carry it on your back so that our Maari and Pakeha correspondents will see. Editor of the Wananga Salutation to you. Paramena te Naonao, Tuterangi. The Cross this morning, speaking of Sir G. Grey's speech. last night, says it was the Speech of a legislator of a colony, of a politician of politicians, yet there was no lack of fire nor of what seemed enthusiasm. The speech was ably planned, and enhanced with the visions he conjured up, which dazzled the eyes and bewildered the senses of his hearers. He seemed to see with the eye of wondrous faith a future in which. equality of wealth arid wide-spread happiness might, by -means of provincial institutions, be secured to coming millions.

TE WANANGA. It is generally believed that the Auckland members, excepting Vogel and Reader Wood, will sink all minor differences and enrol under the banner of Sir G. Grey; his converts are numerous, and he is now more popular than any politician who has ever set foot in Auckland. D. T. The Echo say :—That Mohi a Maori chief, of Whangapoua, was taken over yesterday, from Manaia, iu a dying state. HOROERA, MARCH 5TH l875. To the Editor of the Wananga, Tihe Mauri-ora ki te ao marama, ka mama ra tara ki uta, ka mama ra tara ki tai, ka mama ra kai Ariki, Tihe Tohi-ora." We are new correspondent to the Wananga, and our Waka Horouta will be looked on by the Island a stranger, is the only Waka that has been heard off, and Ngatiporou is the tribe. Ngatiporou will pull in his Waka Nukutere, so that the Wananga will advertise is thoughts. Nukutere is the Waka of Porourangi, namely of his ancesters Whironui and his wife Araiara, Taka- takaputonga and Marere-otonga were the skilled persons on board, there are also several other persons on board, their names would be mentioned if it was not for the delay When Whironui staid with is wife Araiara, she gave birth. Haturangi, and staid with Paikea, and gave birth. Pouheni staid with Nanaia and gave birth. Porourangi, this is the Porourangi that we this tribe is called by Ngatiporou. The Wananga stated let every Waka send their thoughts to him as a load. So do not be wearisome put on board this advertisement of ours the chiefs who as their signature underneath, so that the Government will hear, and also Pakehas who desires to lease or buy Land, will hear, and also that the whole tribe of Nga- tiporou will hear, and so that the tribes of the Ika-nui- a-Maui, Tikitiki-o-Taranga will see. On the 4th of March, Wikiriwhi te Matauru, and the Hon. Mokena Kohere, called a meeting to be held at Horoera, East Coast, the chiefs .from Waiapu and Whare-kahika were called. At 7 p-m. the meeting meet, Wikiriwhi te Mata- uru rose and addressed the meeting. The reason that I, and my uncle called on yours, is, we see the new rules made in the district of Ngatiporou at present, the leasing at Waiapu is increasing, and the blocks that are surveyed are increasing, and the money is poured on the bed of the river of Waiapu, and the hands of Ngatiporou has stretched out, and received the money for Mangawaru, it is only Hikuranga snow that can be seen, white, the money is consumed, and swallowed in their bellys. It is so, I and my uncle thinks that we Ngatiporou will be mate. This is a Land that I and my uncle desired that leasing or buy- ing should not enter on it, but to be a permanent Land for ourselves, and it is by your desire that these be the fixed boundaries or are they to be moved.

This is what the Wananga desires to publish, so that the survivors of our Island will hear. This is how the Pakeha's is saved, because they write every thing they say, and this is how we Maori are lost, and does not write down what we says. . E. W. TAURANGA, APRIL 5TH 1875. (From our own Correspondent.) The young generation of Tauranga is dashed down like (toitoi's) by the measles a persons skin is red the same has if it was painted with red paint. It commenced with people from 20 years of age, and under, and from 20 years upwards, are not yet affected. And thinks that those who was affected in 1849 will not be affected again. The Waka Maori says :—The Star of the South, from Fiji, reports a fearful mortality from measles among the Natives. They are paralyzed, and refuse to assist each other. All the head chiefs are dead. Three hundred died in the Island of Ovalue alone ; in other Islands a great number. The decease is always followed by dysentery, which, has assumed the form of a plague. Several Native towns are depopulated. At one town the bodies lay days uncovered, and were mangled by pigs. The Natives only burying the bodies below the surface, late rains washed the soil off and the smell was fearful. In the Island of Anguhu a great many Natives are reported lying dead, No one will bury them. Trade at a standstill. The Star of the South returned with, little cargo ; no one being about to take it out of ' the store and put it on board. [We trust the Maoris of New Zealand will take warning from the above, and not rush, into cold water, as is their parctive, when suffering from measles.] ENCOUNTER WITH A SHARK. Taken from the Waka Maori. Fatal as the white shark is to, unharmed, those who carry weapons of defence very frequently cope with and master him; even women, undaunted by their teeth, have been known to stab and destroy them in their bath. One day, a little boy, about eighth years old, happened to be washed from a catamaran which was managed by his father, who was early initiating him, into the hardship of the Muera Rangipuru, Pehimana Horua, Rutene Hoenoa, Te Hatiwira te Kuhu, Hemi Tawhena, Hamapiaia Kakatarau, Hone Mokena, Hoani Matauru, Wiremu Keiha, Tiopira Rorirori, Hoani Ngatai, Hotene Tunanui, Anaru Kahaki, Hare Taua. Henare Kaiwai, E hoa ma, e nga rangatira o Ngati-Porou, e whakamihi ana ahau a te Wananga, ki ta koutou tukunga mai, i nga putake o te Hui a nga mokopuna a Tuwhakairiora. Ko nga mea tenei e hiahiatia nei e te Wananga kia Panutia, kia rongo nga Morehu o to tatou Motu. No te mea hoki ko to te Pakeha oranga, ko te tuhituhi i ana korero, ko te mate o tatou o nga Maori, he kore e tuhia o a tatou nei korero. E. W. TAURANGA, APERIRA o 1875. (Na to matou hoa tuhi mai.) Ko te Whakatupuranga hou o Tauranga, kua rutua, me te moe toitoi i te mate Mitara, ko te kiri o te tangata whero tonu, ano kua pania ki te peita whero. I timata i nga mea e 20 tau, ahu iho ki raro, kei te 20 tau ahu ake ki runga, kaore ano i pangia, e maharatia ana e kore e pa ki nga mea i pangia i te tau 1849. E ki ana te Waka Maori, ko te Ta o te Hauta, he tima i rere mai i Whiitii, a u ana ki Akarana, nana i whakaatu te mate nui o nga tangata Maori o Whiitii i te mate uruta nei i te Mitara, kua mate noa iho taua iwi ra i te wehi, kua kore e tata atu tetahi ki te mahi i tetahi, me ka pangia e taua mate, kua mate katoa nga rangatira. E 300 te matenga i te Moutere o Awarue anake, he nui atu kei etahi Moutere i reira ano. He mate tororere, tona mutunga iho o taua mate, a waiho ana hei tino mate uruta, kua Whakahemo katoa nga tangata o tetahi taone Maori o reira. I tetahi o aua taone, he maha nga rangi i takoto ai nga tupapaku i runga i te Whenua, a ngaua rawatia ana e te poaka. Na te mea i tanumia nga tupapaku e nga Whiitii ki raro tonu iho o te papa o te Whenua, kaore e keria kia hohonu te poka, na reira ka tahia atu te oneone e te wai ua, a takoto kau ana nga tupapaku, a puaki ana tera te haunga. E ki ana, he tokomaha nga Whiitii kei te Moute- re o Anguhu e takoto ana, kua mate, kaore e tahuri nga tangata ki te tanu, kua mutu nga mahi hokohoko me etahi atu mahi katoa. He iti rawa nga utanga i runga i a te Ta o te Hauta i rere mai ai, he kore tangata hei tango mai i nga hanga i roto i nga whare toa, hei kawe mai ki runga ki te tima. [E mea ana matou kia noho mohio nga Maori o Nui Tireni ki aua korero i runga ake nei, me tupato ratou, nae mutu ta ratou tikanga e rere nei ki roto ki te wai matao, ka pangia ratou e taua mate Mitara.] HE WHAWHAITANGA KI TE MANGO, (He mea tango mai i te Waka Maori.) Ahakoa mate te tangata, kaua e patu te Mango ma o te moana, e taea ano e te tangata e mau ana i tetahi mea hei patu i tana ika nei, te patu kua mohiotia te whakamatenga o etahi o aua Mango e te wahine i te mea e kaukau ana, he mea wero ki te maripi i tetahi rangi. Ko tetahi tamaiti tane, ka waru nga tau, i taka atu ki te moana i runga i ta raua mokihi, ko tona papa e whakaako ana i tana

Heoi, ka tu tonu ake te papa, ka unuhia tana maripi roa, ka hoatu e ia ki tona waha mau ai, ma ona niho e pupuri, katahi; ka ruku iho ki ro te wai, a ngaro atu ana, kitea rawatia ake, a kihai i taro ka ruku ano ki raro ki ro te wai, ano me te mea e whawhai ana ki tona Koa riri toa ra ano. Akuanei ka kitea kua whero katoa te moana i te toto, titiro pawera atu ana nga mea i uta, kihai nei hoki ratou i mohio atu ki te mahi e mahia ngarotia mai ra i raro o te wai. Kei te kawe tonu te tangata ra, kei te ruku tonu, kihai ano hoki i ata oti te whakamate i te nanakia e patua mai ra e ia, mea ake nui rawa te miharo o te tini e tu mai ra i uta, i te kitenga i te tinana o taua Mango nei e tere ana i runga o te wai, engari kihai i roa kua totohu ano. Na, whero katoa ana te wai i te toto o taua nanakia nei. Kaore hoki i taro, ka puea ake te tangata ra, ka kau ki uta, kua ahua mate ia i te ngenge, kua ruha noa iho, engari kihai rawa i pa nga niho o te Mango, ki te titiro atu a te tangata e kore e mohiotia i te whawhai ki a ia; rana ko te mango. Kihai hoki te tangata ra e tu aua i uta, ka aia e te ngaru te mango ra ki uta pae ai: he Ika nui whakaharahara, kaa mate rawa tana Ika nei. Katahi ka toia ki uta atu o te whatianga tai ; e nga tangata Maori o tera Whenua; no te taenga o te Ika ra ki uta, ka tuakina te puku; na, ka kitea te upoko, rae nga ringaringa, me nga waewae o te tamaiti i mate ia,—Ko te tinana, kua kino noa iho i te ngaunga a te mango.—"He korero Maori na Kahera."— Kua tae mai kia matou te reta a Rawiri Rota te Tahiwi o Otaki kia taia kia te Wananga te purei kirikiti kua hori ake nei, a nga Karapu o Otaki raua ko Poki Taone, a kua tukua mai e Tamati Ranapiri i mua tata ake nei, a kua taia ki ta matou kape kua puta ake nei, a e mahara ana matou kaore he ritenga e taia ai ano taua mea.

The father lost not a moment, but calmly rose, and placing between his teeth a large knife, which, he carried sheathed in his summer band, plunged beneath the lashing waves. He disappeared for some time, but after a while was occasionally seen to rise, and then dive under the billows, as if actually engaged with his formidable foe. After a while the white foam was visibly tinged with blood, which, was viewed with a sensation of horror by those who could only surmise what was going on tinder the water. The man was again seen to rise and disappear, so that the work of death, was evidently not yet complete. After some further time had clasped to the astonishment of all who were assemble-on the beach.—-for a con- siderable crowed had not collected, the body of a large shark was seen for a few moments above the white spray, which it completely crimsoned, and then disappeared. An instant after the man rose above the surf, and made for the shore. He seemed nearly exhausted, but not a single mark on his body, which bore no evidence whatever of the perilous conflict in which, he had been so recently engaged. He had scarcely landed when an immense shark was cast upon the beach by the billows. It was quite dead, and was immediately dragged by the assembled Natives beyond the reach of the surf. As soon as the shark was drawn to a place of security it was opened, when the head and limbs of the boy were taken from his stomach. The body was completely dismembered, and the head severed from it, but none of the parts were mutilated.—"Cassell's Popular Natural History."
