Tutapu ancl Tangiia. In despair, Tangiia appeals to the sister, who 
gives back to him the old canoe, on which its name was changed to 
“ 0 le tika o le tuafahne” (saved "by the sister); and Tangiia, by advice 
of his counsellors, returned to Samoa. 
Twelfth Voyage — Tangiia , South . 
After a time Tangiia and his party started on another voyage, 
sailing south. They visited Nil’ u, Angaula, Alamati’eti’e, Matatela, 
and Uvea, five islands which had before been visited in the fifth 
voyage by the family of Main many years before. From Uvea 
(Wallis Island)- they sailed to Takinuku, where they dwelt for a time. 
TTom thence they sailed to llurutu and Papau, also called Kimatara, 
and remained there for a time. Again they sailed i lunga (?'.<?., north 
or north-east) to an island named Maketu, Avhere they first met with 
another navigator named Ivarika, a chief from Iva (or Marquesas). 
The Meeting of Tangiia and Karika. — Karika* s canoe was hostile, 
and Tangiia prepared for battle. Karika’s canoe was a pirate canoe, 
a vaa fasifotau, and a battle seemed imminent ; but the pirate, seeing 
the other was the larger canoe, having 200 men as against the pirate’s 
70, SAvam on board with his daughter, and submitted to Tangiia. The 
pirate chief Karika then presented his daughter to Tangiia as his 
wife. Her name was Mo-oloa-i-aitu. Tangiia then took off his own 
crown, or pale ula (red coronet), and presented it to Karika, saying, 
“ I hereby adopt you.” lie did so because he had given him his daughter 
and because he hoped to secure his help in his proposed attack upon 
his old enemy Tutapu. The two canoes then sailed in company, hut 
afterwards separated, as Tangiia found that Karika was endeavouring 
to entrap him by leading him a course that would engulf him in the 
/«/«> a submarine disturbance, in the outskirts of which Tangiia was 
entangled. Observing signs of the whirlpool, and feeling the water 
hot, he at once put his canoe about, and so escaped the danger. He 
then parted company with Karika, and sailed for ltarotonga, which 
island he reached safely, and landed at a place called Ole vai Kokopu, 
where he anchored, and determined to settle there. 
The history then proceeds to detail the steps taken by the 
immigrants to establish themselves on that part of the island, and 
describes how, on going to the other side or the island, they found 
that Karika’s company had preceded them, and were preparing to 
settle there. The parties embraced and fraternised. After this 
Tangiia returned to the other side of the island with his company to 
complete arrangements for settling there , when in the midst of all 
their busy preparations they Avere astonished to see the canoe of the 
much-dreaded Tutapu sail into the harbour, and cast anchor near to 
Tangiia’ s vessel. 
The narrative continues to describe other interesting details of 
the after proceedings of the colonists, and their subsequent adventures, 
but which are too long to be given here, that which has already been 
given having also of necessity been much curtailed. The writer of 
the narrative concludes as follows : — 
I now finish this history of the growth of the people of Karotonga 
from Samoa. The Samoans say Ave are of a different race, but they do 
not understand ; we are sprung from Samoa, and we are their brethren.
