274 JOHN FRASER. 



these two were the parents of I'i and Sava ; I'i was the girl and 

 Sava was the boy ; that island was peopled by them and was 

 named Savai'i. 



39. And Tangaloa, the messenger, went again to this Manu'a ; 

 then he stood and faced the sky, as if he were making a prayer ; 

 then Tangaloa, the creator, looked down, and the land of Upolu 

 sprang up. Then Tangaloa, the messenger, stood and again faced 

 the heavens towards Tangaloa, the creator ; and Tangaloa, the 

 creator, looked down from the heavens, and the land of Tutuila 

 sprang up. 



40. Then Tangaloa, the messenger, turned to the heavens and 

 said, ' Two lands are now gotten for me to rest in.' And Tangaloa, 

 the creator, said, — ' Come now ; go you with the Peopling-vine ; 

 take it and place it outside in the sun ; leave it there to bring 

 forth ; when you see it has brought forth, tell me.' Then he took 

 it and placed it in Salea-au-mua, a council-ground, which is now 

 called the Malae-of-the-sun. Then Tangaloa, the messenger, was 

 walking to and fro ; and he visited the place where the Fue was ; 

 he went there and it had brought forth. Then he went back 

 again to tell Tangaloa, the creator, that the Fue had brought 

 forth. Then Tangaloa, the creator, first went down; he went to 

 it ; he looked and it had brought forth something like worms ; 

 wonderful was the multitude of worms; then Tangaloa, the creator, 

 shred them into strips, and fashioned them into members, so that 

 the head and the face and the hands and the legs were distinguish- 

 able; the body was now complete, like a man's body; he gave them 

 heart and spirit; four persons grew up; so this land was peopled; 

 there grew up Tele and Upolu which are the children of the Fue; 

 Tutu and 11a, that is a pair; these are the children of the Fue; 

 four persons, Tele and Upolu, Tutu and Ila. Tele and Upolu 

 were placed to people the land of Upolu-tele ; but Tutu and Ila, 

 they two were to people the land now called Tutuila. 



41. Fue, the son of Tangaloa, that came down from heaven, 

 had two names, Fue-tangata and Fue-sa ; he peopled the two flat 

 lands.
