Pirihimana James Muir
I te 3am i te 23 o Hune 2007, i kitea t¨¥tahi waka kua wh¨¡nakotia e tomo ana ki Maunganui. E taraiwangia ana te waka e ¨¥tahi taiohi tokorua 14 ng¨¡ tau kua p¨±rere atu i t¨¥tahi kaupapa ngahere m¨ te Tamaiti, te Taiohi me te Wh¨¡nau, i k¨ noa atu o te wh¨¡rua o Ru¨¡toki. I murua e r¨¡ua ¨¥tahi k¨¡inga tuawhenua e rua, ar¨¡, i wh¨¡nako i ¨¥tahi p¨±, i te h¨¡manu me te waka. I taraiwa atu ki Whakatane me te taka an¨ ki te h¨¥. He mea whakahau a Pirihimana James Muir (41) me tana kur¨© me Neo kia hono atu ki te arumanga.
I te w¨¡ e arumia ana te waka, ka kuhu te p¨¡hihi i te t¨±ru o muri ka wh¨©tiki i a ia ki t¨¥tahi raiwhara .303 ka t¨©mata ki te puhipuhi i te Pirihimana me te waka hoki o Pirihimana Muir. I taua w¨¡ ka p¨rori haere te waka o te kaihara, he mea poka ¨na taea e te Pirihimana i mua ake r¨¡ i te w¨¡ o te arumanga. N¨¡ t¨¥n¨¡ i mate ai te waka i t¨± noa iho. Ka kite atu a Pirihimana Muir e noho m¨rearea ana t¨na hoa, ¨¡, ka ¨¡whina atu m¨¡ te whakat¨± i t¨na waka i muri tonu i te waka o te kaihara.
I t¨¥nei w¨¡ kua heke t¨¥tahi atu pirihimana i t¨na waka kua ngana ki te mauhere i te taraiwa o te waka o te kaihara. Ka whakaanga te taiohi i noho r¨¡ ki muri i tana p¨± ki te Pirihimana. I runga i te wehi ka p¨±hia ia ka huna te pirihimana i muri i t¨¥tahi pakitara t¨±tata. K¨¡tahi ng¨¡ pirihimana ka wero atu, ka whiu kupu ki ng¨¡ taiohi tokorua kia whakahauraro r¨¡ua. Ko te taiohi mau raiwhara ka whakaanga tuatahi ki t¨¥r¨¡ atu pirihimana k¨¡tahi ka huri te p¨± ki a Pirihimana Muir. I t¨¥tahi w¨¡hanga ka kite a Pirihimana Muir i te taiohi e puru ana i te p¨±, ka rongo e ngete ana i te p¨¥hanga o te keu. Maringanui k¨¡ore he kariri o roto. K¨¡tahi te taraiwa o te waka kaihara ka puta, ¨¡, ka whakahauraro. Ka puta hoki t¨¥r¨¡ atu taiohi maup¨± i te waka ka neke ki t¨ t¨¥r¨¡ atu pirihimana waka e k¨¡ tonu ana. I mua o t¨na taenga ki te waka ka tuku a Pirihimana Muir i tana kuri i a Neo ka mau ia. Waihoki ka ngana t¨¥r¨¡ atu taiohi ki te p¨±rere atu, auare ake, ka mau hoki ko ia.
He mauritau, he p¨±ngaio hoki te t¨± a Pirihimana Muir i te aroaro o t¨¥tahi tukinga m¨rearea, hohoro nei te panoni haere, ¨¡, k¨¡ore hoki e taea e ia te whakahaere. Me te aha, kotahi anake te whiringa ko te ¨¡whina i t¨na hoa. I te roanga o te tukinga m¨¡rama kau ana ka p¨±hia pea ia e t¨¥tahi kaihara k¨¡ore ¨na aha ki te pupuhi i tana p¨± e taea ai tana p¨±rere atu.
