the home of Tutanekai. It was visited by Sir George Grey in the month of December 1849. While sitting on the edge of Hinemoa's bath, a Maori chief, descendant of Hinemoa, recited the story. It was written by Mr. G. S. Cooper (Assistant Private Secretary to his Excellency) with the assistance of Pirikawau Interpreter, and first published by Williamson and Wilson at Auckland in 1851.

RAURANGI occurs in the text of Sir G. Grey's Diary of his Overland journey from Auckland to Taranaki. Again, in Sir G. Grey's Maori poems and also in Polynesian Myth. 1st ed. But the 2nd. ed. of Poly. Myth. has Tauarangi. The context requires a word or words similar in meaning to Tauarangi. The meaning of Raurangi is not given in any Maori Dictionary at present.

KA WAHIA TE TAHA, 'the calabash was broken.' The usual method of drinking was for the drinker to form a hollow with his hands and to drink from one side while a slave poured water in at the other. The meaning of the text further on, implies that Hinemoa took the calabash and drank from it, a most unusual thing, and then broke it. If she drank from the calabash itself it was in strict accordance with Maori custom to break it afterwards. See amusing explanation in "Old New Zealand."
