No. 69.—Pukapuka-inoi a Ihaia te Awanui.
E inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia noho te Kooti Whenua Maori ki nga wahi maha i te Waipounamu e whakaingoatia ana e ratou hei whakawa i nga take a nga tangata kua mate.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
