Afterwards the people went to Maui and said to him, "Te Tuna is coming on an expedition of vengeance against you!" "Just let him come on his quest of vengeance! Maui replied; nevertheless, he inquired, "What sort of creature is he?" "Ho! He is a gigantic monster!" the people answered. "Is he sturdy and strong like an upstanding coconut tree?" Maui asked. The people, who wished to mislead Maui, replied, "He is like a leaning coconut tree." Maui asked again, "Is he always weak and bending?" "His weakness is ingrained," the people answered. "Just let him once catch a glimpse of the lopsided end of my ph*ll*s," Maui vaunted, "and he'll go flying out of the way!" Maui continued to wait patiently till Te Tuna should appear; he and his household lived all together until a certain day when the skies became darkened; thunder rolled and lightning flashed; the people were filled with terror, for they knew that this must indeed be Te Tuna. The people all blamed Maui, saying, "This is the first time that one man has stolen the woman of another! We shall all be slain!"

"Just keep close together," Maui reassured them. "We shall not be slain.' 99 Then Pupu-vae-noa (Tuft-in-the-cen- ter), Maga-vai-i-e-rire (Noose-existing- in-woman), Poroporo-tu-a-huaga (T*s*icles - set - in - the - scr*tum), Toke-a-kura (Cl*t*ris-continuously-suffused) and Te Tuna himself came on; Te Tuna stripped off his soiled loincloth and held it up in sight of all, and at once a vast billowy surge reared up and roared onward; it swept right on, towering above the land, and then Hua-hega shouted to Maui, "Quick! Expose your ph*ll*s to view!" At once Maui did as she directed, and immediately the vast flooding wave receded until the bed of the sea became bare, and these monsters were piled up high and dry on the reef; then Maui went to the place where they were stranded and struck down three of them- Pupu-vae-noa, Maga-vai-i-e-rire, and Po- roporo-tu-a-huaga; they were quite life- less, but Toke-a-kura escaped; however, one of his legs was broken; as for Te Tuna, his life was spared by Maui.
