" Tu-matai-ao (seek for daylight) was seized and put to death and eaten. Weakened by successive defeats, the Nga-ti-mamoe gradually retired southwards, and we do not hear of their making any very determined stand between the fall of Pakihi, or Pari-whakata...u (cliff that echoes), and the great battle on the banks of the Apa-rima (five bodies of work- men) thirty years afterwards, when their forces were com- pletely annihilated, although constant petty encounters HAKĪ-TE-KURA AND HER LOVER. 251 between the two contending tribes continued np to the very last. It was during this interval that the fugitives from Pakihi lived in caves^ where traces of their occupation are shown in the rude drawings overlying those of a more ancient date ; the reason given for their choosing such temporary shelter being that they thought they were less likely to be attacked, and, if attacked, would be in a better position to escape.
