mokai of my grandchild ? will it not serve as a bridge to 
carry me over ? Tini-ran replied, by no means, lest your 
grandchild's pet should die. Kae replied, no, I will be very 
careful of him ; Tini-rau at last consented, but gave him 
directions how to use it ; Kae agreed to all his instructions, 
Tini-rau said, when he approaches the pa, and shakes, 
you must get off, and go on shore, lest you chafe his belly 
against the rocks at the bottom, and he should die, Kae 
assented, saying, Yes, I am aware of it, and will do as you 
say; he then got on the whale's back, but paid no atten- 
tion to the directions given, for when he was out at sea 
he did just as he liked ; when he approached the shore, 
which is close to the pa, Tutunui began to shake; Kae 
paid no attention, but still kept on his back, he chafed 
his belly against the bottom : Tutunui, the pet whale of 
Tini-rau, was killed, the people of that pa cut him up, and

from Haruru-atea to me, a place of Hawaiki. From that 
time, from the death of Tutunui, the heart of Tini-rau became

after many nights' thought, he ordered his wife and the wo- 
men of his place to go and fetch Kae, the women answered, 
we don’t know him, Tini-rau replied, you will find him 
out by his teeth, but, they said, how shall we be able to 
see them ? play some silly game was the reply ; enough, the 
women agreed, they got into their canoe, and paddled 
away, when they reached the pa, they entered the house 
where Kae lived ; they found that tutau , or singing in 
turns, he whae } cats' cradles, he haha, singing with ges- 
tures, and he waiata, songs, were the amusements of the 
evening, but Kae did not laugh when he heard them ; they 
inquired, what is the haka that will make him laugh ? they 
at last found the pua joua , the waitoremi, the anaana. They 
sung the vyaitoremi : —
