This great army approached Kapiti iv the darkness of night, and the first warning that we received was as they landed at dawn of day. Some of our people who lived on the hillside heard the sound of the paddles as they drew near, and they cried out in warning, " E puta ki wahol Te whakaariki! Te whakaariki ! " We rushed out of our houses and down to the beach to repel our enemies. Then on the shores of lone Kapiti there was fought the great battle of Whakapaitai. 0 Son, the multitudes of the land were upon us. Far out upon the ocean we saw the myriads of canoes. So numerous were they that the sun could not shine upon the waters. We saw our fierce enemies of many a former battle hastening to obtain payment for their people whom we had slain. We saw the raukura and the toroa, the red and white plumes of the north and of the south. We saw the two long lines of war canoes closing in from Waikanae and Otaki. 0 Son, these were indeed the thousands of the land, while we of Ngatitoa were but as the rau-hokoivhitu of olden days Ere long we, the warriors of Ngatitoa, drove the legions of the world back into the sea whence they came. Dark were the shores of Kapiti with the bodies of the slain. Ta Ngatitoa pai ! Friend, that was how vve destroyed the multitudes of the South beneath the shining sun. O Son, my words to you are ended. 6. Translate into English, — Ko Eongokako, Ko Tamatea (Ngatikahungunu).
