unsuccessful.. The youth went up in land with the Hook to his 

 mother, and said to her: Sina, I'uuiangamu asked me to go tishing 

 with him.. Sina said, That is good;; if I'umangamu again asks 

 you,, wind up his tishing lines, and undo yours.. The courting 

 party again came down, and again I'umangamu woke up the 

 suitors,, and asked them to fish with him.. The elder ones were 

 unwilling ;; but the youth went down and sat on the seat of the 

 canoe in front of the steersman.. The man trailed his hooks, but 

 the fish did not take them ;; but made efforts to get at the youth. 

 Then said the man,. Do you come here and steer the canoe ; 

 perhaps you may catch a Bonita.. Then the youth went to steer. 

 He trailed his fly hook, the Hook of adversity.. The youth's hook 

 was taken by the fish, and the canoes were ready to sink with fish. 

 They dragged the canoes to the land.. It then occurred to the man 

 to make up a burden of fish and take it to his family.. The family 

 looked and saw him coming with the burden of fish.. Then Atia 

 resolved concerning I'umangamu, and said to Sina, This is but 

 right that as I'umangamu has brought back your son with a gift, 

 that you should return with him.. Go, then, with your son, and 

 don't forget Afia in his bush dwelling.. Then went the youth 

 with his mother to I'vimangamu, and his mother lived with him.. 

 But I'umangatunu made a journey round ^Salafai with the 

 artificial Hook ; and he got loads of fish all round the island.. 



After that he came over to Upolu ;; beginning at the lee end of 

 the Island, he passed along by the fAlofi side, meaning to travel 

 round the island.. The youth reached the i^^i'Ssage through the 

 reef at Tofana, when the Fly-Hook was broken off by the JSapatu, 

 Upon this, the JMalautea held a council in the passage through 

 the reef at Tofana.. All the fishes of the sea then sought for the 

 Hook.. Malautea was free from blame ; it was Saputa whohade 

 taken it.. Let some visit the Saputa, who sleeps away by himself, 

 and see whether the Hook is there.. They visited, and it was 

 there ; ; so they bi'ought away the Hook,, and brought it to 

 I'umangatunu.. There was a man from Tapanga,, who gave a 

 charge to I'umangatunu.. Wind up your hook lest it be broken 

 off.. He went to Lemataleipata and wound up the Hook.. He 

 reached the back of the island, Falealili, with the Hook.. He is 

 about to break his promise.. He unloosed the Hook.. He reached 

 the reef opening of Matapalapala. Two fishes there broke 

 his line, the i^Matopoto and the Tagia'a ; ; the Hook was broken 

 off by Tagia'a.. There still lies at Matapalapala,, the Hook of 

 Adversity.
