descendant of Seuea, sister of Fa'a-tau-sala. On this errand he 

 sent first her two female companions, Fa'a-sei-sei and Gutu-fagu. 

 Afterwards he went himself and brought his wife Yae-toe to 

 Upolu. By him she had two children, Sala-masina, a girl, and 

 Tui-one-o-Up61u, a boy. This boy went to Tonga. But the girl 

 was sought in marriage by Tau-ili-ili of Le-tua-masaga. In Sala- 

 masina the two original branches of royalty were combined, and 

 she was heir to the four royal titles of Tui-A'ana, Tui-Atua, 

 Malietoa, and ISTa-toali-tele. Her children were Taufau and Sina, 

 and from these two sisters most of the present chiefs' families trace 

 their origin ; from Taufau come the race of Tui-A'ana, Mata-afa, 

 the Solo-solo chiefs, the Sa-Leota, &c. From Sina come the race 

 of Tupua and the Sa-Moe-ga-gogo, <fcc. 



XXII. — The First Samoans. 



Under date March 21, 1871, Mr. Powell says, — Taua-nu'u gave me 

 to-day the following particulars, viz., that Le-Fatu and Le-'Ele'ele gave 

 birth to a boy and a girl alternately, who became husband and wife. Their 

 first two were Malae (fern.) and Vavau (masc.J. These gave birth to 

 Faimalie (fern.) and Faitama'i (masc.J. Their next two were Tele (masc.) 

 and Malae (fern.). These gave birth to Vaiu'a aud Tiapa, Manu and 

 Mala, Lei, Pue and Ite. 



Their immediate descendants may therefore be arranged thus : — 



Le Fatu ma Le-'ele'ele. 

 Malae and Yavau — Faimalie and Faitamai — Titi and Titi 

 Tele and Malae — Valua and Tiapa — Sava and I'i 



„ Manu and Mala — 



„ Pue and Ite — Le-Fale-tolu 



Fe'ema — Tui-Samata 



Pu-lou-lou-lele and Malae-la — Losi 



Another version of the progeny of Le-Fatu and Le-'Ele'ele, as 

 given by Fof o, is this : 



Faimalie and Faitama'i 

 Vavau and Tele or Nu'u and Tele 

 Mamao and Laveai or II u 

 Valu'a and Tiapa.
