this, for some reason not stated, and forbade them to do so again, and for their transgression ordered that "the cocks must not crow, the dogs must not bark, there must be no waves in the sea, no man may go afishing (huti i'a)" and the people were ordered to fill his house with ruru (rolls) of mats, and cloth made of anu-ora'a (bark of the banyan tree). Turi's wife set to work and filled four houses instead of one. The wife's name is forgotten, but she came from 'Otipūa at Ra'iatea. Her grandfather's name was Toto (or Hoto, it is not certain which—according to Maori story Toto was Turi's father-in-law) who was a great warrior, and through his conquests had acquired a great deal of land. There are four of Turi's direct descendants still living at Ra'iatea. Like all great chiefs Turi had a mou'a or mountain, it is called Fane-ufi. His tahua (floor), place for meetings, was named Te-umu-'ape (ape is the giant taro). Some say he died at Te-umu-'ape, but most people say he sailed away from Ra'iatea with his wife, children, and feia (people). Ti'etau was the name of a woman in Turi's time, and Toi is an ancestor of the Ra'iatea people. The name is still common at Huahine Island. Tǒǐ-aito was a contemporary of Turi's. His mata'eina'a (Rarotonga matakeinanga), or tribe, or clan, was named Vaitoa. His pu (trumpet), his patapata (flute, played with the mouth), his vivo (flute, played with the nose), and his pahii (drum) "may still be heard, but one man only has heard the accompanying upaupa (dance and song) distinctly, and it demented him. The song is only heard in cold weather when the people stay in their houses." When Turi left Ra'iatea he went across the moana-uriuri (the deep sea) and never returned in the flesh, neither does anyone know where he went, but his spirit returned in former times to trouble the people
Other accounts I heard agreed in the main with the above. It is a very remarkable thing—explain it as you
