They have but to kneel upon the shore and open their mouths and they will swallow up the sea and the ship of the papalangis (foreigners), and I, Na Ulivou, am the greatest of them all, for I am Na Vu-ni-Valu, the Root of War. But let not the pale chief be afraid, for I would love him. Let him take the yangona root I bring, and fear nothing ; for Na Ulivou comes in peace. ' ' Say to him/ answered Larkin when this long- winded oration had been translated, greatly to its disadvantage, by Faatu, ' ...Say to him that I do not fear him, Root of War though he be. I have but to raise my hand and ere the sea could fail by so much as a drop, he and his swallowers would fall dead. ' As he spoke he pointed his musket full at the king's broad chest. Na Ulivou endeavoured to smile in- credulously ; but his eyes wandered hither and thither, and his breath came and went rapidly. * Literally ' Eyes or Face of the Land' i. E. Controllers of public affairs. Here Master of Ceremonies, or Herald. NA ULIVOU, NA VU-NI-VALU.
