ppen to
be visited by strangers of importance: the war dance is gone through on
these occasions, and speeches declaratory of war, or welcome, as the
case may be, made to the visitors. The "review of the Taniwha,"
witnessed by the Ngati Kuri, was possibly a herd of sea-lions, or
sea-elephants; animals scarcely ever seen on the coast of that part of
New Zealand, and, therefore, from their strange and hideous appearance,
at once set down as an army of Taniwha. One man only was, at the defeat
of the Ngati Kuri, on Motiti, rescued to tell the tale.--p. 153.
_Tupara_--A double gun; an article, in the old times, valued by the
natives above all other earthly riches.--p. 12.
_Tutua_--A low, worthless, and, above all, a _poor_, fellow--a
"nobody."--p. 18.
_Utu_--Revenge, or satisfaction; also payment.--p. 26.
THE END.
