Page 57 - It has occurred to me that the second Kupe, whilst he did come to New Zealand to search for a certain man named Tuputupu-whenua (as some accounts say), did not do more than sail along the West Coast of the North Island, and did not explore the South Island at all. This would agree with some of the narratives. We shall see that the Sage's account takes his hero all round both islands. I will leave the reader to draw his own conclusions as to the story of the ' Wheke-a-Muturangi ' ; and merely remind...
Page 38 - Vai-takere, when, as appears undoubted the people were living in Indonesia, down to that of Tu-tarangi, whose epoch has been shown to be about AD 450, there is again complete silence as to the doings of the people, and nothing whatever is related of the sixteen ancestors who separate the two people mentioned. In Tu-tarangi's time the people were living in Fiji, for that place and Avaiki are named as his country, which from the names of other places now for the first time mentioned, such as...

Page 67 - The sun sets about SW by W. in the end of November in New Zealand, and that is almost the exact course from Rarotonga, which was always the starting-point for New Zealand.
Page 148 - I am departing to search for my grandchildren. If anyone arrives here after me (in search of me), tell them my canoe is directed towards Aotea (New Zealand), to the 'Tiritiri-o-te-moana,'to the land on which the clouds and fog rests, there to look for my grandchildren. And if the bows of the canoe should touch there, perhaps I shall stay there, perhaps I shall return. If I do not reach there, I shall have descended to the bottom of the great belly of Lady-Ocean.
Page 127 - The probability is that we have never made sufficient allowance for voyages made back from New Zealand to Eastern Polynesia during the years that New Zealand was being settled by the Maoris. It seems to me that ' Tokomaru ' must have gone back to Tahiti, as several other canoes apparently did, and then returned with the Fleet ; or, there must have been a second canoe of the same name.] MANAIA'S DOINGS AT HAWAIKI (TAHITI).
