At length they passed through the forest, and arrived at Parawai. Their journey was ended, for they had reached the dwelling place of his daughter, and of his daughter-in-law, and of the two children, Uenuku and Tama-ihu-toroa. The following day Hinetekakara said to Kahu, “Sir, Marupunganui has crossed over to the main land.” “Where?” inquired Kahu. “To the Ngae.” Then said Kahu, “To-morrow we will go to Motu-tapu.” So when daylight came they set out, and found Tu-o-rotorua dwelling on the island; but his father was not there. Tu welcomed Kahu in these words: “Come my _teina_ to your island to be its _Ariki_.” “Yes,” replied Kahu, “this sacred island is mine; but do you, my _Ariki_, continue to dwell on it.” Thus the island was given up to Tu-o-rotorua. But the _mana_ of the land was Kahu’s. Hence the song of Taipari before mentioned⁵⁸; for Taipari sprang from the race of Tama-ihu-toroa. Tama’s son was Tuara, and Tuara was an ancestor of Taipari. ⁵⁸ P. 75. As they paddled away from Motu-tapu Kahu bid farewell to Tu-o-rotorua—“Abide there, my child, you and your father. Alas! that I have not seen your father.” “Go, sir, go,” were the parting words of Tu. “Go to guard your ancestor; go to the Arawa.” Leaving their canoes at the Toanga they went on towards Maketu. On the way Kahu’s grandchild became thirsty, and cried for water. Kahu had compassion for the child, and chanted a _karakia_, and when the _karakia_ was ended he stamped on the ground, and water came forth. Hence that place was named Te Wai-takahi-a-kahu (the water of Kahu’s stamping). Kahu afterwards remained at Maketu, and died, and was buried there. When he died the _mana_ of Maketu went to his son Tawaki-moe-tahanga. When Tawaki died, the _mana-rahi_ of Maketu went to Uenuku, who also died at Maketu when an old man. Then his son Rangitihi abandoned Maketu, and went to Rotorua, and settled at Matapara with all his family. When Kahu left Ihenga at Kaipara at the dwelling place of his elder brother Taramainuku, he thus bid him farewell—“Sir, be quick to return to your child, my grandchild, Tama-ihu-toroa. Do not delay.” So Ihenga remained at Kaipara for a short time. Then travelling northwards he came to Ripiro. The food of that place was _toheroa_. Kupe placed it there for food for his daughter, Tai-tu-auru-o-te-marowhara. The great rolling waves on that coast have been named after her. So says the proverb, “_Tai-hau-auru i whakaturia e Kupe ki te Maro-whara._” Going on they arrived at a certain place where Ihenga ate all their _toheroa_ privately in the absence of his companions. “Who has eat our food?” inquired his companions. “How should I know?” said Ihenga. “Why, there was no one but you. You alone remained here.”
