Aumua, took away, give all back to him; only the* herringt+ I willretain.” 
This was agreed to. The taboo of Luafata gave origin to the name 
Saluafatat ; but the old name of that village was Evaloa. 
Aumua married Leatealele, of Malaepongaponga. Their son 
Moaitele married Leaponga, daughter of Vaetui, of Sanga. Their sons 
were Polailevao and Taumaoa. 
Polailevao married Momoefuifatu. Their son was Fotuitama’i. That 
was the chief who gave the royal title by which Leteleipesenga 
had the privilege to help themselves to food. That was the chief 
who married Tele, daughter of Leifi. She bore Puepuemai and 
the girl Aliitasi. That was Fotuitama’i that had the taboo of 
Puepuemai. The royal title left Le-alataua from Leteleipesenga, 
and then 
Samo became king. That was the chief to whom belonged the game of 
tia§ in Tiasamo. All Atua went to build up the ground for that 
tia; but Leifiand Salei-aumua did not go. It was known that 
the ground for the game at Aleipata was not prepared. Samo was 
angry because Atua was not one in building this ground for ti’a. 
The title of Teleipesenga was given up, and 
Faatufunga became king. That was the chief who was noted for his land, 
having been buried with stones carried in men’s nostrils.) 
Faatutuga was angry because Atua was not one in the work. 
Leifi did not go to it. He said that he did not go because of what 
the woman had said who had gone with her burden of thatch, 
and all the young men had burst out into a laugh at her leaf- 
girdle, which was bad. Then it was that she uttered the words, 
“Don’t laugh at me; this is the consequence of your weak- 
handedness. We are going to fierce Tonga|| with these burdens of 
thatch.” Leifi heard her say this, and he told them to throw 
down the stones,{] and come away to the east. Olapau then put 
’ down the stones and came away. These are the stones by the 
wall above Aufanga. The royal title departed from Faatufunga, 
and Toeta became king. That was the chief to whom belonged 
the swamp called the Swamp of Toeta; itis in Sataoa. That was 
the swamp at which Atua was beaten, because they were not all 
collected there, for Leifi and Saleaumua did not go. Toeta was 
angry because Atua did not all come to his work. Again the 
title was given to 
Teleipesenga. Then the chief 
Vaootui became king. This chief did not appoint some work to be done ; 
but he said he would come and catch pigeons in Tuavao, in the 
mountain of chiefs, and would raise war against Leifi, because he 
* “Only the herring I will retain.” These were caught in large quantities, and a portion 
of them was taken to chiefs even at a distant village, who had acquired the right to receive 
them. On one occasion the customary offering was omitted. and the aggrieved chiefs 
prepared for war, which was only averted by the submission of the offenders. 
+ When herring was caught a portion was taken to the king. 
t Sa is used for taboo. 
§ “The game of tia.” The ground was made quite level, low places being filled up. The 
game consisted in casting light darts on the ground, so that they rebounded and flew along 
to a great distance. 
||‘ We are going to fierce Tonga.” This wasa taunt to the young men for allowing them- 
selves to be conquered and so submitting the females of their family to the degradation of 
preparing thatch, and carrying it a great distance to their conquerors. This is expressed by 
their taking it to Tonga.
