CHAPTER XXXI. 
TE RAUPARAHA AND RANGIHAEATA. 
Te Rauparaha, the Chief of the Nga-ti-raukawa, was born at 
Maungatautari, about 1770. His father, in one of the con- 
stant wars which formerly raged, was killed and eaten ; he 
was then a child ; his savage conqueror said, that if his infant 
son fell into his hands, he would make a fine relish for his 
ran joaraha, which is a thick-leafed convolvolus, growing on 
the sand hills near the sea, and formerly used as food ; Rau- 
paraha, or convolvolus leaf, therefore, henceforth became his 
name.
