and went with songs. Then Nofoasaefa raised war. Sayaii and 
Aana and the Tuamasanga were united. Then they went to seek 
troops from Salefao and Falealili. Salefao was divided; some 
were with Mataafa and some divided to Matua, who sought for 
troops. Tafua stood up in Falealili, and said, ‘‘ Manusamoa points 
to you as a destroyer, with whom dwell Matua and Alalamalae.” 
Falealili had compassion, and favoured their application for 
troops ; so also did Tusa. He sought troops, and was received hy 
Solosolo and Saluafata, and all the fleet. The bulk of Atua were 
with Leifi, and Tautolo and Tusa; and but few were with Mataafa, 
only Falefa and Lufilufi and Samusu, and a part of Salefao and 
Salevalasi. A battle was fought. Mataafa and his troops were 
defeated, and Nofoasaefa was conqueror. That chief also had all 
the titles. Nofoasaefa soon died, on account of his rebellions. 
Again he raised war against Lealataua in Satupaitea, that he 
might seize on the title of Tonumaipi’a. They fought, and this 
chief died on Savaii. He was heir to Moengangongo. When 
Nofoasaefa was dead, then Lufilufi held a council about a king, 
They were unanimous for Tupo, but Tusa did not consent. Then 
they sent ambassadors to Atua to calla council that they might 
proclaim Tupo to be king of Atua. Tusa came journeying to the 
east. He said, ‘“ The council have decided to proclaim Tupo king 
of Atua, and I have agreed to it; but it is with you two to choose 
a chief, and he shall be my chief.” Fuatanga and Tafua said, 
“Our chief is he who is in Tiavea, in Salefaavale, ’amafana.” 
Tusa said, “That is good; we have got our chief.” Then Tusa 
went away. <A council was held, at which Atua was assembled. 
The mat* was thrown down in front of Lufilufi. Tupo went and 
sat on it. Manu’a stood up and said to Atua, ‘‘ That is our king ; 
such is the result of our consultation.” Then a mat was thrown 
down in front of the council-seat of Saleaaumua. IT’amafana went 
and sat on it. Then stood up Tafua, and said, “That is my chief ; 
but let our people choose one of these two chiefs.” Then stood up 
Tusa, and said, “ That is also our chief.” So Tusa distinguished 
as chief Pamafana. Leota, the first chief, then stood up, and 
proclaimed T’amafana. Molioo also stood up, and said, “ That is 
our chief Leifi and Tautolu.” So also said Saluafata. Each land 
in all Atua was divided between Tamafana and Tupo. Atua, 
however, leaned towards Pamafana, and but few were for Tupo. 
The council broke up in confusion. Tamatfana went off at once 
with Faleapuna to seek troops. He was received by the 
Tuamasanga, so also by Aana and Manono and Savaii. Tupo 
followed after, but he was not received. Then the war passed on, 
and Tupo and his troops were swept away to Tutuila; so 
TVamafana became king. He had all the royal titles. He was the 
king to whom gods and men crowded. This chief died, and the 
war, with the sea} as a border, was fought. The carrying of this 
chief’st funeral bier was the cause of the war. This chief was 
next before Malietoa, the father of Mole. He was also next before 
Mataafa, the king of Atua. In the year of the Lord 1857 he 
was proclaimed. He was also next before the chief Sualauvi. He 
was king of Aana, Tamasoalii, and the Ngatoaitele. He also 
became king of Atua in the year 1869. If he gets all Atua and 
the Tuamasanga, then will he have all the royal titles like 
Tamafana. 
* Answering to a throne.

} Living chiefs were offended by the dead chief being carried ;ast them.
