EARLY SAMOAN VOYAGES AND SETTLEMENT. 613 
which is Tangiia, one of the two famous voyagers who first settled 
one portion of Rarotonga. This list of powerful chiefs, who governed 
on TJpolu or other parts of Samoa, is most interesting and suggestive. 
In it I find the names of chiefs who held sway on Savai’i, as well as 
those who were supreme on TJpolu : Rata, with Atonga, Iro, and 
Karika, were chiefs of Savai’i, whilst Tangaloa, Tealutanga-nuku, and 
his successors and others were chiefs of Upolu, who, in a series of 
years, made long and distant voyages to all parts of the compass ; 
Tahiti, Marquesas, Futuna, Uvea (Wallis Island), Fiji, Tonga, Raro- 
tonga, and many other islands being in turn visited more than once 
in some cases, and also in part colonised, from Samoa by those 
enterprising leaders. 
The first canoe spoken of, a vaatele (great canoe), was built on 
Savai’i, in a forest belonging to Rata, by Atonga and his two brothers, 
Olokeu and Oloinano. After the canoe wa9 built it became the 
property of Tealutanga-nuku, lord of Aaua, Upolu, who first sailed in 
her. 
First Voyage of the Canoe , “ Tealutanga-nuku f to the South- south- west 
and West of Samoa, 
The canoe visited all the lands in that side of the heaven, but did 
not go to the upper side of the heaven, or towards Tahiti; and when 
the year was finished the chief gave the canoe to his son, Teal u tan ga- 
langi, who made the second voyage. 
« 
Second Voyage, under Tea lutanga - langi, to Fiji , Sfc. 
At this time the name of the canoe was changed to “ O le folauloa-i- 
Fiti” (the voyage direct to Fiji), because the canoe went direct to Fiji, 
but did not go to the eastward. At the close of that year the chief 
gave the canoe to his son, Kaukula. 
Third Voyage , under Kaukula , to Fiji and Tongaleva, 
Kaukula visited Fiji and the lands his father had visited. lie 
also visited another land, which was then known for the first time, 
called Tongaleva. After this he returned to Upolu, and gave the 
canoe to his son Malu, who again changed the name of the canoe to 
“Numia-au” (confusion of currents). 
Fourth Voyage , under Malu, 
Malu now voyaged towards the upper side of the heavens — i.e, 9 
east or north-east — whither he went with his father, Kaukula. They 
discovered a, small island named Tokutea, where Malu left his father, 
and then sailed about with himself only and his men, and afterwards 
returned *to Samoa. 
Fifth Voyage , by the Family of Malu, to the South- south-west and 
West . 
1 Some of the family of Malu sailed to the lower part of the 
heaven (south- south-west and west), and these are the lands they 
visited : Tonga, Fiti, Nuku, Ololilo, Nu’u, Angaula, Kulupongi, Alama 
ti’eti’e, Matatela, Yaeloa, Takinuku, Uvea, A mama, Tuma (Rotumah), 
with all the islands visited by the family of Malu. At the island of
