time than had been expected. By the time the party reached Okoroire, Mahinarangi realised that her condition would not permit her to travel any further. Preparations for her comfort were accordingly made, and near the hot springs at that place Mahinarangi gave birth to a son. The warm bathing pool where she bathed herself and her baby son was named Te Waitakahanga-a-Mahinarangi (The Waters-wherein-Mahinarangi-bathed). Mahinarangi found this spot most restful, and she stayed there until she was quite recovered. From Okoroire the party went on until they reached the Waikato River at what is now called the ‘Narrows’, below the modern town of Cambridge; and here Mahinarangi crossed over. Turongo's dog was now in land familiar to it, and shortly after they crossed the river the dog went off. Mahinarangi knew that they did not have much further to travel, and at the next likely looking place she decided to encamp, and announced to her party that she would there await the coming of Turongo. The dog, in the meantime, following the tracks it knew, went in a southerly direction, and on reaching the Kawhia Track it turned eastwards, and finally came to Rangiatea. Turongo wasted no time, and with a party he set off, with his dog in the lead, in the direction of the Waikato, laden with food for Mahinarangi and her visiting party. Arrived at the encampment, Turongo had a happy reunion with his beloved Mahinarangi. She was a joyful mother when she saw the look of pride in Turongo's eyes, as he clasped his son to his breast. Early the following morning they broke camp and, headed by the proud young Tainui chief with his wife and son, the party proceeded on to the journey's end at Rangiatea, where Tawhao awaited their coming with a selected body of warriors, to give Mahinarangi and her party a fitting welcome to her future home. At the sacred tuahu 1Tuahu—earth-formed altar. overlooking the Mangaorongo, Tawhao performed the tohi, or baptismal rites, on his grandson. Turongo and Mahinarangi stood by arm in arm, and when the priestly Tawhao pronounced the name they had chosen for their baby son, Turongo pressed Mahinarangi's hand as he whispered into her ear: ‘It could not be any other name but Raukawa.’ Mahinarangi blushed, and with tears of joy in her eyes she looked up into his eyes, and said simply: ‘Raukawa, our Raukawa.’ The great love story of Turongo and Mahinarangi is nearly ended. Turongo and Mahinarangi lived happily at Rangiatea all their days, and in all the annals of the Tainui tribes this
