Lolotonga e faʻahitaʻu failau ʻo e 1904, naʻe muimuiʻi ʻe Sione Uitisou ʻa e ngaahi hopo ʻa Simutí mei he mamaʻó. Naʻe kau hono kaungāmeʻa mo e faifaleʻi ko Siosefa Tená, ʻa ia naʻe hoko he taimí ni ko e pule ʻo e ngaahi akoʻanga ʻa e Siasí mo ha tokoni ʻi he kau palesitenisī lahi ʻo e Lautohi Faka-Sāpaté, ʻi he niʻihi ʻo e Kāingalotu ne ui ke fakamoʻoni ʻi muʻa ʻi he kōmiti Fale Aleá. Koeʻuhí naʻe mali ʻa Siosefa mo ha uaifi tokolahi hili ʻa e Fanongonongo Fakamafaiʻí, naʻe ʻikai ke ne fie tukulolo ki he fakatotoló ka naʻá ne hola ki Kānata.

Naʻá ne tohi kia Sione ʻi he konga kimui ʻo ʻEpelelí ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ke u ongoʻi hohaʻa ki ai,” peá ne fakamoʻoni hingoa ʻi he tohí ʻaki ha hingoa loi. “ʻI he taimi ʻe fakahoko ai ha tuʻutuʻuni fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga ʻo Simutí, mahalo te tau kiʻi mālōlō hifo ai.”1

Hangē ko e Kāingalotu kehé, naʻe tui ʻa Sione ko e ngaahi hopo ʻa Simutí ko hano ʻahiʻahiʻi pē ia ʻe taha ʻo e tui ki he Siasí.2 Naʻá ne foki mo Lia Uitisou ki Lōkani. Fakataha mo hona ʻofefine ko ʻAná, ne na maʻu ha foha ko Māseli pea mo ha pēpē ne kei fietamaʻi. Ne mālōlō hano foha ʻe taha ko Sione ko e Siʻí, ʻi Fēpueli 1902, ʻi ha ngaahi māhina siʻi kimuʻa pea hokosia hono taʻu tahá.

Naʻe fuʻu mamaʻo e toenga ʻo e fāmili Uitisoú. Ne mavahe ʻa e faʻē ʻa Sione, ko ʻAná, mo hono tehina ko Petololine Kātení mei ʻIutā ke ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi Noauei, ko honau fonua tupuʻangá, ʻi he 1903. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he faʻē ʻa Sioné ʻena ngāué ʻi ha tohi kia Lia. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “Kuó ma fetaulaki mo ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa fuoloa pea talanoa mo kinautolu fekauʻaki mo e ongoongoleleí, ko ha tokolahi kuo teʻeki ai ke nau fepōtalanoaʻaki mo ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí kimuʻa. ʻOkú ma feinga ke akoʻi ʻa kinautolu kuo nau maʻu ha ngaahi ʻtukufakaholo paú,’ ka ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ngāue faingofua ke fakahoko ia.”3

Lolotonga iá, ne toki ʻosi e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e tehina ʻo Sione ko ʻOsipōní mei Tahiti, pea naʻá ne lolotonga ako e faʻunga tohi faka-Pilitāniá ʻi Hāvati.4

Naʻe ngāue ʻa Lia ʻi ʻapi mo e fānaú pea ngāue ʻi he poate ʻa e Kautaha Mutuale Fakalakalaka ʻa e Kau Finemuí (Young Ladiesʼ Mutual Improvement Association) ʻi hono siteikí. Naʻá ne faʻu foki mo ha ngaahi lēsoni fakamāhina ʻi he tauhi ʻapí maʻá e Makasini ʻa e Finemuí (Young Womanʼs Journal). Naʻe hoko e lēsoni takitaha ko ha konga ʻo ha kalasi taʻu kakato naʻe lava ke ako mo aleaʻi ʻe he kau finemui ʻi he Siasí ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakataha KMFKF (YLMIA). Naʻe faʻu ʻe Lia ʻa e lēsoni takitaha ʻo hangē ko e founga ʻa e kau saienisí, ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi e meʻa naʻá ne ako he ʻunivēsití ke akoʻi ʻene kau laukongá fekauʻaki mo e feimeʻatokoní, fakanaunau ʻo e falé, ʻuluaki tokoní, mo e tefitoʻi tokoni fakafaitoʻó.5

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sione e kalasi kemisitulií (chemistry) ʻi he Kolisi Ako Ngoué (Agricultural College), fakalele e tafaʻaki ngāue fakatotolo ʻa e ʻapiakó, mo ako ha ngaahi founga ke fakaleleiʻi ai ʻa e fāmá ʻi he ʻea mōmoa ʻo ʻIutaá. Naʻe ʻave ia ʻe heʻene ngāué ki ha ngaahi kolo tukuʻuta ʻi he vahefonuá kotoa ʻi heʻene akoʻi e kau ngoué ʻi he founga hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e saienisí ke tō ha ngoue lelei angé. Naʻá ne hoko foki ko e palesiteni ʻo e KMF ʻa e Kau Talavoú (Young Menʼs MIA) ʻi hono uōtí pea mo ha mēmipa ʻo e poate Lautohi Faka-Sāpate ʻa e siteikí. Hangē ko Liá, naʻá ne faʻa tohi maʻu pē maʻá e ʻū makasini ʻa e Siasí.

Naʻe fakaʻofaʻia ʻa Sione ʻi he Kāingalotu kei talavou ne faingataʻaʻia ke fakaʻaongaʻi fakataha ʻa e ʻilo ki he ongoongoleleí mo e ako fakaʻatamaí, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe faʻa hoko kiate iá. Naʻe fakaʻau ke tokolahi ange ha kakai ne nau tali e foʻi fakakaukau, naʻe fehangahangai ʻa e saienisí mo e tui fakalotú pea ʻe ʻikai lava ke na fenāpasi. Ka naʻe tui ʻa Sione ko e saienisí mo e tui fakalotú ko ha ongo maʻuʻanga tokoni ia ʻo ha ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni fakalangi mo taʻengata pea ʻe lava ke fakaʻaongaʻi fakataha kinaua.6

Naʻá ne kamata pulusi kimui ai ha ngaahi fakamatala hokohoko naʻe ui ko e “Siosefa Sāmita ko e Tokotaha Saienisi (Joseph Smith as Scientist)” ʻi he Kuonga Fakalakalaká (Improvement Era), ko e makasini ʻa e KMFKT (YMMIA). Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he fakamatala takitaha ʻa e founga naʻe hanganaki mai ai ʻa e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí ki ha ngaahi ʻilo lalahi fekauʻaki mo e saienisi ʻo onopōní. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi he fakamatala ʻa Sione ko e “Taimi Fakasiolokí (Geological Time),” naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi ai e founga ʻoku maʻu ʻe he ngaahi potufolofola mei he Tohi ʻa ʻĒpalahamé ha ngaahi fakakaukau fakasaienisi ʻoku motuʻa ange ʻa e māmaní ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono afe naʻe fakafuofuaʻi ʻe he kau mataotao fakatohitapú. ʻI ha fakamatala ʻe taha, naʻá ne fakamahinoʻi ai e faitatau ʻi he ngaahi tafaʻaki ʻo e fakakaukau ʻevolusone (theory of evolution) naʻe fakakikihiʻí mo e tokāteline ʻo e fakalakalaka taʻengatá.7

Naʻe ola lelei ʻa e ngaahi tohí. Naʻe ʻoatu ʻe Palesiteni Siosefa F. Sāmita, ʻa ia naʻe hoko ko e ʻētita ʻo e Kuonga Fakalakalaká, ha tohi fakataautaha ʻo fakamālōʻia e ngaahi fakamatalá. Ko e meʻa pē naʻá ne fakameʻapangoʻia aí ko e ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo totongi e ngāue ʻa Sioné. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “Hangē ko ha niʻihi ʻo kimautolú, ʻi he taimi ní ʻe fie maʻu ke ke tali hoʻo vahé ʻi he ʻilo kuó ke fai ha ngāue lelei maʻá e lelei ʻa e fānau tangata mo e fafine ʻo Saioné.”8


Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻaposetolo ko Falanisisi Laimaní ʻi heʻene tohinoá ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ngali fakatuʻutāmaki ʻaupito hotau tūkungá he taimí ni.” Naʻe ʻikai tokoni lahi e fakamoʻoni ʻa Siosefa F. Sāmita ʻi he hopo ʻa Liiti Simutí ke fakaleleiʻi e ngaahi hohaʻa ʻa e kōmiti ʻo e Fale Aleá fekauʻaki mo e mali tokolahi ʻi he Siasí hili ʻa e Fanongonongo Fakamafaiʻí. Pea naʻe ʻikai tokoni ki he Kāingalotú e ngāue naʻe fakahoko ʻe he ongo ʻaposetolo ko ia ko Sione W. Teila mo Mataiasi Kaulí, ʻi heʻena muimui he faleʻi ʻa e kau taki ʻo e Siasí, peá na hola hili ha taimi siʻi mei hano ui kinaua ʻe he kōmiti ʻo e Fale Aleá ke fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻú hopó. Hangē ko Siosefa Tena mo e kāingalotu kehe ʻo e Siasí, naʻe mali fakatouʻosi ʻa e ongo tangatá mo ha ngaahi uaifi tokolahi hili ʻa e Fanongonongo Fakamafaiʻí. Naʻe fakahoko foki ʻe he ongo ʻaposetoló ha ngaahi mali tokolahi foʻou mo poupouʻi e Kāingalotú ke nau kei fakahoko pē ia.9

ʻI he hoko ʻa Falanisisi ko e palesiteni ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, naʻá ne fakapapauʻi ai ʻoku totonu ke talangofua ʻa e tangata takitaha ʻi he kōlomú ki he Fanongonongo Fakamafaiʻi Hono Ua ne toki tuku maí. Naʻá ne ʻave ha ngaahi tohi ki ha kau ʻaposetolo tokolahi, ʻo faleʻi kinautolu fekauʻaki mo e loto-fakapapau ʻa e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ke fakahoko ʻa e fanongonongó. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “ʻOku lelei ke mahino kiate kitautolu ʻa e meʻa mahuʻingá ni pea puleʻi kitautolu ʻo fakatatau ki ai, pea he ʻikai ʻi ai ha fekeʻikeʻi pe ngaahi fakakikihi ʻiate kitautolu.”10

Naʻe vahe ʻe Palesiteni Sāmita kimui ange kia Falanisisi ke ne fakapapauʻi ʻoku ʻikai ke toe fakahoko ha mali tokolahi ʻi he Siasí. Talu mei he konga kimui ʻo e 1880 tupú, mo hono fakamafaiʻi ha kau ʻaposetolo ʻe niʻihi ke nau fakahoko ha ngaahi sila mavahe mei he temipalé ki he ngaahi feituʻu ki tuʻá. ʻI Sepitema ʻo e 1904, naʻe fakahā ai ʻe Palesiteni Sāmita kuo pau ke fakahoko he taimi ko iá ʻa e ngaahi sila kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi temipalé, ʻo ʻikai malava ai ke fakahoko ʻe he Kāingalotú ha ngaahi mali tokolahi fakalao ʻi Mekisikou, Kānata, pe ʻi ha toe feituʻu kehe. Naʻe fakahā leva ʻe Falanisisi ki he kau ʻaposetoló ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ko ʻení.11

Naʻe fekauʻi atu ʻe Palesiteni Sāmita ʻa Falanisisi ʻi Tīsema ke fakalotoʻi ʻa Sione W. Teila ke fakamoʻoni ʻi he hopo ʻa Simutí. Naʻe maʻu ʻe Falanisisi ʻa Sione W. ʻi Kānata peá ne poupouʻi ia ke muimui ki he faleʻi ʻa e palōfitá. Naʻe faifai pea loto ʻa Sione W. ke fakamoʻoni pea kamata ke ne teuteu ke fononga ki Uāsingatoni.

ʻI he pō ko iá, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Falanisisi ʻo mohe, kuo ola lelei ʻene misioná. Ka ʻi he tolu hengihengí naʻá ne ofo hake naʻá ne tetetete. Naʻe hohaʻasi ia ʻe he fakakaukau ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa Sione W. ʻi he ngaahi hopó. Naʻe fakahoko moʻoni ʻe Sione W. ha ngaahi mali tokolahi. Kapau te ne fakahaaʻi kuó ne fakahoko ha ngaahi mali tokolahi hili ʻa e Fanongonongo Fakamafaiʻí, te ne fakamaaʻi ʻa e Siasí mo maumauʻi e ngaahi faingamālie ʻo Liiti Simuti ke ngāue ʻi he Fale Aleá.

Naʻe haʻu kia Falanisi ha ongoʻi nonga ʻi heʻene fakakaukau ke faleʻi ʻa Sione W. ke ʻoua ʻe ʻalu ki Uāsingatoní. Naʻá ne kole ki he ʻEikí ke fakapapauʻi ange ko e fili totonu ʻeni ke faí. Naʻá ne tō ʻo mohe fiemālie, pea naʻá ne misi naʻá ne sio kia Palesiteni Uilifooti Utalafi. ʻI heʻene ʻohovale mo fiefiá, naʻá ne ui atu e hingoa ʻo Palesiteni Utalafí mo fāʻofua kiate ia. Naʻá ne ʻā hake leva, ʻi he loto-falala naʻe tonu e liliu ʻene fakakaukaú. Naʻá ne fekumi leva kia Sione W. peá ne fakamatala ange fekauʻaki mo e misí. Naʻe mateuteu ʻa Sione W. ke ʻalu ki Uāsingatoni, ka naʻá ne ongoʻi fiemālie ʻi he taimi naʻe faleʻi ai ia ʻe Falanisisi ke ʻoua te ne ʻalú.12

Naʻe foki ʻa Falanisisi ki Sōleki Siti hili ha taimi nounou mei ai. Naʻe loto-fiemālie ʻa Siosefa F. Sāmita ki heʻene ngāue ʻi Kānatá, ka naʻe kei fehuʻia pē ʻa e meʻa ke fai ki he ongo ʻaposetoló. Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Palesiteni Sāmita naʻe fie maʻu ke ne fakahaaʻi naʻe tukupā moʻoni ʻa e Siasí ke fakangata ʻa e mali tokolahí. Ke fakafiemālieʻi e kōmiti ʻo e Fale Aleá, naʻe pau ke ne toʻo ʻaupito ʻa Sione W. mo Mataiasi mei he tuʻunga fakatakimuʻa ʻo e Siasí, ʻo fakahoko ha fakatonutonu faka-Siasi kiate kinaua pe ko hano kole ange ke na fakafisi. Ne ʻikai fakafiefia kiate ia ha taha ʻo e ongo foungá.13

Naʻe ʻikai lototaha e kau taki ʻo e Siasí ʻi he founga ke fakaleleiʻi ʻaki e palopalemá. Ka neongo ia, ʻi ʻOkatopa ʻo e 1905, naʻe fakatokanga e kau ʻetivaisá kia Liiti Simuti kuo fakaʻau ke ʻosi e taimi ke ngāue ai ʻa e Siasí. ʻI he fakamoʻoni ʻa Liiti ʻi muʻa ʻi he kōmiti ʻa e Fale Aleá he konga kimuʻa ʻo e taʻu ko iá, naʻá ne palōmesi ʻe fakatotoloʻi ʻe he kau maʻu mafai ʻo e Siasí ʻa e ngaahi tukuakiʻi naʻe fai kia Sione W. mo Mataiasí. Hili ha māhina ʻe ono mei ai, ne teʻeki ai fai ha fakatotolo, pea naʻe fehuʻia ʻeni ʻe ha kau senatoa ʻe niʻihi e tuʻunga faitotonu ʻa Lītí. Ke fakatoloi ha fakatotolo ʻo toe fuoloa angé, ʻe fakahaaʻi atu ai ki he māmaní ne ʻikai faitotonu e kau taki ʻo e Siasí ʻi heʻenau pehē ʻoku nau fakafepakiʻi mālohi ʻa e mali tokolahí.14

Naʻe ui ai e ongo ʻaposetoló ki he hetikuota ʻo e Siasí, pea ʻi he uike hono hokó, naʻe fakataha ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻi he ʻaho ki he ʻaho ke aleaʻi e meʻa ke fakahokó. ʻI he kamataʻangá, naʻe taukapoʻi ʻe Sione W. mo Mataiasi ʻena ngaahi ngāué, ʻo fakafaikehekeheʻi hono toʻo ʻaupito ʻe he Siasí ʻene poupou ki he mali tokolahí mo ʻena fili fakafoʻituitui ke hokohoko atu ʻena fakahoko ha ngaahi mali foʻoú. Ka neongo ia, ne ʻikai poupou kakato ha taha ʻo e ongo tangatá ki he Fanongonongo Fakamafaiʻi Hono Uá, pea kuó na ʻi ha tuʻunga he taimí ni ne ʻikai fenāpasi mo e Siasí.

Ko hono aofangatukú, naʻe kole ʻe he kōlomú ki he ongo ʻaposetoló ke na fakamoʻoni hingoa ʻi ha ongo tohi fakafisi. ʻI he kamataʻangá, ne ʻikai tali ʻe Sione W. ke fakafisi. Naʻá ne tukuakiʻi ʻene kōlomú ʻi heʻenau moʻulaloa ki he mālohi fakapolitikalé. Ne tali angavaivai ange ʻa Mataiasi, ka naʻe momou foki mo ia ke talangofua. Ka ʻi he ikuʻangá, naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he ongo tangatá fakatouʻosi ʻa e meʻa naʻe lelei taha maʻá e Siasí. Ne na fakamoʻoni ʻi he tohi fakafisí, mo e loto-fiemālie ke feilaulauʻi hona tuʻunga ʻi he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá koeʻuhí ko ha lelei lahi ange.15

Naʻe tohi ʻe Falanisisi ʻi heʻene tohinoá he ʻaho ko iá ʻo pehē, “Ne hoko ia ko ha meʻa fakamamahi moʻoni. Naʻa mau mamahi lahi kotoa ʻi ai.” Naʻe mavahe ʻa Sione W. mo Mataiasi mei he fakatahá mo e loto-lelei mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo hona ngaahi tokouá. Ka neongo naʻe fakaʻatā kinaua ʻe he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ke kei maʻu pē hona mēmipasipi mo e tuʻunga fakaeʻaposetoló, ka ne ʻikai ke na toe hoko ko ha mēmipa ʻo e kōlomú.16


Hili ha māhina ʻe ua mei ai, ʻi he pongipongi ʻo e ʻaho 23 ʻo Tīsema 1905, naʻe kaka ʻa Susa Keiti ki ha saliote ʻi Veamonitī, ʻi he fakatokelau hahake ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití. Ne fāʻeleʻi tonu ʻa e palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi he taʻu ʻe teau kimuʻá ʻi ha faama naʻe meimei kilomita nai ʻe nima ki he hahaké, ʻi he kiʻi kolo siʻisiʻi ko Seiloní. Naʻe ʻalu ʻeni ʻa Susa mo ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko nimangofulu nai ki he fāmá ke fakatapui ha maka fakamanatu maʻana.17

Naʻe tataki e kulupú ʻe palesiteni Siosefa F. Sāmita. Koeʻuhí ko e kei lele ʻa e hopo ʻa Simutí, naʻe kei siofi maʻu pē ia ʻe he kau ʻōfisa fakapuleʻangá mo e kau faiongoongo nusipepá. ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo e taʻu ko iá, naʻe pulusi ai ʻe he Nusipepa Sōleki Sití (Salt Lake Tribune) ʻene fakamoʻoni ʻi he ngaahi fakaʻekeʻeke ʻo e hopo ʻa Simutí fakataha mo e ngaahi fakamatala veiveiua ʻa e kau ʻētitá kau ki hono uiuiʻi fakaepalōfitá mo e angatonu fakatāutahá.

Naʻe tohi ʻe ha ʻētita ʻe taha ʻo pehē, “Kuo fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe Siosefa F. Sāmita ki he kakaí ʻokú ne maʻu ha ngaahi fakahā, pe kuó ne maʻu ha fakahā kimuʻa mei he ʻOtuá ke tataki ʻa e siasi Māmongá.

ʻI he taimi pē ne maau ai ʻa Susa mo e kau fonongá ki heʻenau ngaahi salioté, ne nau fononga atu leva ki he ouau fakatapuí.

Naʻe kamata ʻa e ouaú ʻi he hoko ʻa e hongofulu mā tahá. ʻI he fakatapui ʻe Palesiteni Sāmita ʻa e maka fakamanatú, naʻá ne fakamālō ai ki hono Fakafoki Mai ʻo e ongoongoleleí peá ne kole ha tāpuaki maʻá e kakai ʻo Veamonitií, ʻa ia naʻa nau poupou ki hono langa ʻo e maka fakamanatú.

Naʻe mafola vave e talanoá kuo foki mai ʻa e ongo tautehiná ko ha ongo faifekau ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. ʻI he kamataʻangá, naʻe ʻikai ha taha—kaungāmeʻa pe fāmili—te ne ʻoange ha feituʻu ke na nofo ai. Naʻe vilitaki atu pē ʻa ʻAna mo Petololine, ʻo faifai pea fakaava ʻe ha kakai ʻe niʻihi honau ngaahi matapaá kiate kinaua.30

Naʻe ʻaʻahi e ongo tautehiná ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe taha ki heʻena faʻētangata ko Sōnasi Hāvikí mo hono fāmilí.

Ka ʻi he pongipongi hono hokó, hili e maʻu meʻatokoni pongipongí, naʻe kamata hono fakafehuʻia ʻe hona tokoua ʻaki ko Maliá e ongo tautehiná ʻaki ha ngaahi fehuʻi faingataʻa fekauʻaki mo e ongoongoleleí, ʻi heʻene feinga ke fakatupu ha fakakikihí.

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻAna, “Malia, naʻá ku fakapapauʻi he ʻikai ke u talanoa atu fekauʻaki mo e tui fakalotú, ka ko ʻeni te ke fanongo ki he meʻa te u lea ʻakí.” Naʻá ne fai ha fakamoʻoni mālohi, pea naʻe fakafanongo fakalongolongo pē ʻa Malia.

Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai kuo foki e ongo tautehiná ki Toloniteimi, ka naʻe tuʻo lahi ʻena toutou foki ki Titalani ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua hono hokó.

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻAna kia Sione ʻi ha tohi, “ʻOku lelei mo faingofua ange ʻema ngāué he tafaʻaki kotoa ʻi he kau faifekau kei talavou ʻoku ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo lea ʻaki e lea fakafonuá, ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau omi aí pe ko ʻenau foki ki ʻapí.”32

ʻI he fiefia ʻa ʻAna ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú, naʻá ne ʻofa foki ki hono fāmili ʻi ʻIutaá. Naʻe faitohi maʻu ange pē ʻa Sione, ʻOsipooni mo Lia. ʻI he faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1905, naʻe lipooti ʻe Sione naʻe mole ʻene ngāue ʻi he Kolisi Ako Ngoué ʻi he taimi naʻe toʻo ai ia ʻe he pule fakaakó mo ha ongo mēmipa faivelenga kehe ʻo e Siasí mei he kau ngāué.

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻAna kia Sione ʻi ha tohi, “Kuo lelei ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate kitautolu. ʻOku ou tui kuo tau lava ʻo fakahoko ha meʻa ʻi he tokoni ʻa e ʻEikí, ke fai ha ngāue lelei.

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá, naʻe ʻilo ʻe he Kāingalotu ʻi ʻIulopé ʻe ʻaʻahi nounou atu ʻa Palesiteni Siosefa F. Sāmita ki honau konitinēnití.

ʻI he ngaahi taʻu siʻi kimuʻá, naʻe puke ʻa Seni ʻi ha mahaki ne tupu ai ha mamahi hono ongo matá ʻi he ofi ki he māmá.

Naʻá ne pehē ange, “Faʻē, ko ia ʻa e faifekau mālohi tahá. Ko e meʻa pē ke ne faí ko e sio ki hoku ongo matá pea te u sai leva au.”36

Naʻe tui e faʻē ʻa Sení ʻe lava ke fakamoʻui ia ʻe he ʻEikí, ka naʻá ne momou ke poupouʻi ia ke ne fekumi ki he tokoni ʻa Palesiteni Sāmitá. Naʻá ne tali ange, “ʻOku fuʻu femoʻuekina ʻaupito ʻa e palesitení he taimí ni. ʻOku laungeau e kakai ʻoku nau fie sio kiate iá. ʻOkú ke kei siʻi ʻe hoku foha, pea ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke ta fakahohaʻasi ia.”37

ʻI he ʻaho 9 ʻo ʻAokosi 1906, naʻe kau atu ai ʻa Seni mo ʻene faʻeé ki ha fakataha makehe ʻi Lotatemi, ʻa ia naʻe lea ai ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita ki ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko fāngeau nai. ʻI he fanongo ʻa Seni ki heʻene leá, naʻá ne feinga mālohi ke fakakaukauloto ki he ʻata ʻo e palōfitá.

Naʻe ʻikai vaivai ai e tui ʻa Saní. Hili e fakatahá, naʻe taki ia ʻe heʻene faʻeé ki ha matapā naʻe feʻiloaki ai ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita mo hono uaifi ko ʻEtinaá mo e Kāingalotú. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Henitulikisī, “Ko e palesitení ʻeni Seni. ʻOkú ne fie lulululu mo koe.”

Naʻe puke hake ʻe Palesiteni Sāmita hono nimá ʻo ne toʻo e ngaahi haʻí mei he fofonga ʻo Sení. Naʻá ne ala atu leva ki he ʻulu ʻo e kiʻi tamasiʻí ʻo feinga ke sio ki hono fofongá. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻE hoku foha, ʻoku tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe he ʻEikí. Te ne foaki kiate koe e ngaahi holi ho lotó.”

Naʻe ʻikai mahino kia Sani e lea faka-Pilitānia ʻa Palesiteni Sāmitá, ka naʻe ʻosi kamata ke ongoʻi fiemālie hono matá. ʻI heʻene aʻu ki ʻapí, naʻe ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo taʻofi ʻene fiefiá.

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Seni, “Te u lotua maʻu pē ia. ʻOku ou ʻilo ko ha palōfita moʻoni ia.”40


Hili e mavahe ʻa Siosefa F. Sāmita mo ʻene kau fonongá mei Lotatemí, ne nau fononga fakahahake ki Siamane, ʻa ia naʻe nofo ai ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko tolu afe nai.

Hili e tuʻu ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita mo ʻene kau fonongá ʻi Pealini ke feʻiloaki mo e kāingalotu fakalotofonua ʻo e Siasí, kau faifekaú, mo ha kiʻi kulupu tokosiʻi ʻo e Kāingalotu ʻAmelika ne ako mūsika ʻi he koló, naʻe hoko atu ʻenau fonongá ki he fakatongá ki Suisalani.
