They cried, ' God the Father, hau ; God the Son, hau, hau ; God the Holy Ghost, hau, hau, hau, attention, save us ; attention, instruct us; attention, Jehovah, avenge us, hau ; Jehovah, stand at ease, hau; fall out, hau, hau ; Pai Mariri, hau ; big rivers, long rivers, big mountains and seas, attention, hau, hau, hau !' At first they chanted in a monotone, raising their voices wildly ab each ' hau,' but subsequently their frenzy growing they shrieked and yelled, gnashing their teeth upon the hideous refrain as though possessed of a legion of fiends ; and the frenzy spread, till at last) the walls were covered with capering creatures yelling snatches of thoir prayer, gibing at tho assembled host beyond, mocking ab the bleeding head, and drowning all else with a sounding confusion of ' hau ! hau ! hau !' A furious murmur wenb bhrough tho Arawas, and in the midst of tho deafening uproar, a voice cried 'Shoot!' Instantly, fifty guns blazed oub, and the line behind bhe sbockade thinned visibly. ' Shoot!' cried the voice again, and once more the Arawas' fire reached tho fanatics who had not ceased to make appalling noises. Then a voice was heard calling angrily to the Hauhaus ia the pa, which Palliser recognised at once as Te Katipo's. He was evidently savage with his men for their folly, for they began to disappear into safe posi tions behind the palisading, whore tho fire of assailants could not touch them. ' Thab is To Katipo,' said Palliser to Kotahi; ' Thoy will fight more warily now.' ' Te Katipo !' cried the Arawa, leaping in the air. ' To Katipo will be food for dogs. Let us slay them all as they slew Hone Kerei. Let us fight for the head of Hone Kerei,' and rushing out from behind the earthworks he flung himself upon the stockade with a hundred roaring fellows ab his heels. From _ne ramparts a deadly fire peltered into the tronch, in which threescore of men were struggling, and in a little back through the rifle pibs straggled a broken column chased by long and conbinuous volleys. 'Again,' said Kotahi, holding up his right hand, from which two fingers had been shot away, and again the party dashed againsb pitiless fire.
