TINI-RAU. 
Ill 
like, but listen to my advice; when you have reached a burnt 
piece of ground, go and roll yourself in the ashes, to disguise 
your countenance, that they may think you are a slave. Tini- 
iau said, is your heart strong to go ? the child replied, Yes it is 
stiong. He then directed him. When you have reached the pa, 
offer to carry water for Rupe, and when you have brought it, 
do not pour it into the mouth, but into the nose of Rupe. In 
the evening, when Hine-te-iwaiwa stands up to dance with the 
damsels of the place, then do you utter a karakia. The child 
said, But what karakia shall I say. Tini-rau replied, 
Te tu o Hine-te-iwaiwa The fig leaf of Hine-te-iwaiwa 
Makere nxakere Has fallen fallen,

huruhuru had returned, with the water, Rupe held out his 
hands, but luhuruhuru poured it up his nose. Rupe cursed : 
the young slave has poured the water up my nose; he ran after 
him, and gave him a beating. Tuhuruhuru cried, complaining, 
In vain have I come ! 
Rupe is my uncle, 
Hine-te-iwaiwa is my mother, 
And Tini-rau is my father. 
Rupe said, the little slave grumbles and cries. 
In the evening, Hine-te-iwaiwa and her damsels began the 
dance. Then Tuhuruhuru uttered his karakia:— 
The garment of Hine-te-iwaiwa has fallen, fallen, 
The garment of Hine-te-iwaiwa has fallen, fallen. 
Hine-te-iwaiwa turned aside and stooped down, because she
