    3. HBH 1890 June 30 Tamati KOHU The body of an elderly Maori named Tamati KOHU was found in the Tutaekuri on Saturday, about two miles the Napier side of Moteo. TAMATI, who was the father of the well-known native Hame AWAPANUI, had been missing from the Moteo Pa for several days, and a search was instigated, with the result stated. It is supposed that Tamati lost his life endeavoring to cross the river, which had been a bit flooded by the recent rains. An inquest will be held at the Pa on Saturday afternoon, when an open verdict was returned. Tamati was a Government pensioner, having been wounded while fighting in the Maori war, on the side of the Europeans.
