Nga-ti-hine of Pa-tea
(Nga-ti-hau)

In days of old the tribe at Pa-tea (fair fort) collected in force and began to cut a tree down to make a canoe, and as they cut it down with Maori stone axes, it did not fall so soon as they could wish, so they began to feel angry, and they took ropes and tied them to the branches of the tree, and began to pull the ropes so that the tree might fall but the tree stood, and they began to be tired so one of the tribe said "This tree stands as stiff as Pehi (to weigh down) it does not shake or tremble in the least."

One of the Whanga-nui people was in this party who were cutting this tree down, and he was quite a boy, but he heard this reflection or curse on Pehi, and he was guarded by this people so that he might not go from them and report the expressions used by one of their party in respect to Pehi, but the Nga-ti-hine did not guard the lad so keenly that he did not escape, he fled and go to his people and reported the words used by one of the Nga-ti-hine about Pehi, which he told to his tribe the Paka-kohi, and as soon as it was known that he had escaped, the Nga-ti-hine sent messages to all their relatives, and the Nga-ti-rua-nui, Tara-naki and Nga-ti-hine tribes assembled in all about five hundred twice told at Te-puia (the hot spring) inland of Pa-tea, but they had not long to wait till a war party from Whanga-nui confronted them of the same number as them selves, and a battle ensued, and the Pa-tea people were wasted and one hundred twice told were killed, and the Paka-kohi returned to Whanga-nui.
