Ne aʻu ki Nōvema ʻo e taʻu 1833, ne fakatangaʻi ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e Kāingalotú ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní, ʻi Mīsuli pea kapusi kinautolu mei honau ʻapí.

ʻI he taʻu 1834, ne fekau ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ke ne fokotuʻutuʻu ha Kāingalotu ke nau laka atu mei Ketilani, ʻOhaiō ki he Vahefonua Siakisoní, ʻi Mīsuli. Ne ui ʻa e kulupu ko ʻení ko e ʻApitanga ʻo Saioné.

Kuó u helaʻia he lue mamaʻó. ʻOku totonu ke ʻi ai haʻatau meʻakai lelei ange.

Ne ʻikai te u fakakaukau ʻe fuʻu faingataʻa pehē ʻeni.

Ne ʻi ai ha ʻaho ʻe taha ne fononga atu ai ha taha ʻo e ngaahi salioté ʻi he mató pea ʻefihia ʻo ʻikai toe lava ʻo ngaue.

Naʻe ʻikai toe ngaue ia.

He ʻikai te u toe lava au ʻo hoko atu. Te u foki au ki ʻapi.

Kau tangata, ʻoua te mou foʻi. Mou piki ki he maeá ni pea mou fusi ia.

Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho mei ai, ne helaʻia ʻa e kau tangatá ʻi haʻanau kolosi ʻi ha vaitafe, ne nau ʻilo ha feituʻu lelei ke nau mālōlō ai. Ko e fuofua taimi ʻeni ʻi ha taimi lōloa ke nau fiefia ai.

Hoko atu pē koe ka te mau nofo mautolu heni.

Ne fononga atu ʻa Siosefa mo ha kau tangata faivelenga ʻi ha toe maile ʻe fitu (kilomita ʻe 11) nai.

Te u muimui he feituʻu te ke taki kimautolu ki aí ʻe Siosefa.

Ne toki maʻu ki mui ange ʻe he kau tangata ʻo e ʻApitanga ʻo Saioné ha fakamatala.

Ne ʻi ai ha kau tangata ne nau fokotuʻutuʻu ke nau ʻohofi kinautolu he pō ko iá, ʻi he feituʻu tonu ko ia ne nau tomuʻa fakakaukau ke nau mālōlō aí.

ʻOku ou houngaʻia ʻi he ʻi ai ha palōfitá.
