Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua karanga te pirihimana mō te āwhina mai i te iwi whānui ki te tautuhi i tētahi tangata i toia tata ki te mate mai i tētahi tauranga i whakangaromia e ngā taniwha taiohi. Kua whakamoemititia te tokorua nei hei toa i muri i te whakatārewatanga o rātau ake oranga ki te peke ki roto i ngā wai e whakakiia ana e te hai, i reira te tangata e horomia ana. I te pō o te Rāhina, i te 10:30 i te pō, i te āwhina a Kelly McKay, 15 tau, me Payge Olds, 16 tau, i tō rātou hoa ki te toia i tōna waka i te taha o Burdan's Gate i Eastbourne, Wellington Harbour, i a rātou e rongo ana i tētahi tangata e karanga ana mō te āwhina. Kaore i whakaaro, ka rere te roopu 300m ki raro i te takutai ki te waahi i taea ai e Payge te tango i nga kakahu tere me te kaukau 70 mita ki te moana ki te whakaora i te tangata. Ko nga whanaunga a Kelly McKay, 15 (taha maui), me Payge Olds, 16 (taha matau) i whakawhiwhia ki a ratau ake oranga i te po o te Mane i te wa i whakaorangia ai e ratau tetahi tangata e totohu ana i Wellington Harbour. 'I whakaaro katoa matou he tinihanga i te tuatahi na te mea kaore i tino tupu tenei momo mea,' i kii a Payge, no Lower Hutt i Wellington ki Daily Mail Ahitereiria.

'Ko ahau te whakamutunga i reira, a ko te katoa atu i unclothed me te rite ki te peke i roto i te wai, engari kahore tetahi i peke i roto i ano no te mea kahore o ratou he kaukau whakamarie na mutu ahau noa te tango atu ki toku kakahu o raro, me te ka peke i roto i,' ka mea Payge. E rua nga taiohi e awhina ana i to ratau hoa ki te toia tana motuka i muri i tana noho ki te takutai moana. I tū te tūtukitanga i te taha o Burdan's Gate i Eastbourne, Wellington Harbour, i te 10:30 i te pō o te Mane. I kii a Payge ehara ia i te kaikawe maia, kaore hoki ia i whakaaro mo nga wai e pangia ana e te hiakai i a ia e peke ana ki te tauranga engari e mohio ana ia kei runga i a ia te oranga o te tangata.
