Some time afterwards Hinetekakara conceived, and Ihenga went to catch _kiwi_ for her _turakanga_.⁴⁶ He took with him his dog Potakatahiti, one of the same breed as the dog of the same name which was devoured by Toi and Uenuku.⁴⁷ Crossing the swamp Kawa, he went to Papanui, and arriving at the cross-road at Waipumuka ascended the hill Paretawa. Thence he went on to Hakomiti, and Pukerangiora, and began to hunt _kiwi_. The dog feeling the heat, and becoming thirsty, went off in search of water, at the same time hunting _kiwi_. When he caught a _kiwi_ he left it on the ground. At last a _kiwi_ ran a long way, and tried to escape by running into a lake where the dog caught it. The dog then began to catch in its mouth the small fish called _inanga_; and having filled its belly returned by the way it had come, always picking up the _kiwi_, which it had left on the ground, and carrying them in his mouth, till he reached his master, laid them on the ground before him. Seeing the dog dripping with water, Ihenga said to his companions, “Ho! the dog has found water. There is a lake below, perhaps.” However they did not then go to look for it, for they were busied about cooking food. Meanwhile the dog began to roll on the ground in front of Ihenga, belly upwards. It then lay down, but not long after began to vomit, and the _inanga_ were seen lying on the ground. Then they went to look for the water, and the dog ran before them barking every now and then to let his master know which way he was going. In this way they soon came to the lake. Shoals of _inanga_ were leaping on the water; so they made a net with branches of fern, and having caught a great many, cooked some for food; after which they returned to Maketu, carrying with them basketsful of _inanga_ to show to Kahu, that he might know how the lake abounded with food. Ihenga named the lake Te Roto-iti-kite-a-Ihenga (=the small lake discovered by Ihenga), thus claiming it as a possession for his children. ⁴⁶ _Turakanga_ (=throwing down) was a ceremony in which a stick set up to represent the path of death was thrown down. A form of _karakia_ was, at the same time, used. ⁴⁷ Vid. Sir G. Grey’s “Mythology and Traditions,” p. 63. When they reached Maketu Ihenga told Kahu about the lake he had discovered. “Where is it?” inquired Kahu. “Beyond the hills.” “Is it a long way off?” “Yes,” said Ihenga. “Beyond the first range of hills?” inquired Kahu. “At the sixth range of hills,” said Ihenga. “Oh! it is near,” said Kahu. Then Ihenga bid his companions show Kahu the food they had brought. But Kahu said, “No; leave it alone till to-morrow.”
