PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION F. 
Nu’u they built a canoe for the chief, who named it “ 0 leva’a-tapalangi ” 
(canoe beckoning the heavens). On this account they proclaimed 
Tangiia to the chieftainship, and his father also gave him his title. 
He also obtained three idols — one from Nu’u, called “ Kotilongo-Mana”; 
another from A mam a, called “ Malu-mao-mao”; and the third, called 
“ Tonga-iti.” These were the idols which he and his family 
worshipped. 
Sixth Voyage — Tangiia , who sailed to the East and settled at Tahiti. 
After this they left that side of the heavens, and sailed east to 
Niue (Savage Island) and Niutaputapu (Keppel’s Island), with Niulii, 
Niutala, and Iva (Marquesas) ; and then sailed for Tahiti, where 
Tangiia made a settlement at a place called Punaauia. This was a 
settlement of the three classes of people who were called the diminu- 
tives. It is said they were so short that they could not be seen wdien 
they walked in the high grass or undergrowth — “E le iloa fo’i pe’a 
savali i me a vaoa.” Whilst at Tahiti, Tangiia married a woman named 
Aleiuaia, the daughter of Maono, by whom he had three children, and 
then discarded her. At Tahiti war broke out between Maono and 
Tutapu, of Marquesas, w ho defeated Maono. At Tahiti, also, Tangiia 1 s 
sister was married, on which Tangiia gave her his big canoe — the one 
brought by the birds — in which they sailed for lluahine. 
Seventh Vogage — Tutapu. 
The Marquesan chief, Tutapu, sailed for Earotonga, and on 
reaching there he and his party set to work to drain the swamps of 
the island, and settled at the side of the island where the Kev. Aaron 
Buzacott afterwards lived. Here they made a great mound, and called 
it Ivatele, after the name of their land. 
Eighth Voyage — Lro and Company. 
When Tutapu and his company reached Barotonga they found 
that another company of settlers had preceded them — lro and his 
company, from Samoa, having reached there and settled ou another 
part of the island. After remaining some time at Earotonga, lro 
sailed for Tahiti. 
Ninth Voyage — Tangiia to Eapa. 
Tangiia sailed for Eapa, and on reaching there he found that lro 
had also gone there, after he left Earotonga. They remained there 
together some time, and then returned in company to Tahiti. 
Tenth Voyage — To Mauke ( Tangiia ). 
Tangiia sailed for Mauke, to see the daughter of Auli, chief of 
Mauke. After some time he returned to Tahiti. 
Eleventh Voyage — lro sails for Samoa , 
Before sailing he gave one of his sons to Tangiia to adopt — “that 
Tahiti might not be without a king” in case of his death, and that the 
pigmies, or four classes of “ little people,” might still have a chief. 
Tangiia named his adopted son “ Te ariki upoko tini” (chief of the 
thousands of heads). He was also called chief of the four classes of 
little men. A long description is also given of the war between
