Accordingly he went thither the following
day, along with Matatuhi, and requested the Kalo teacher and his
family to leave at once. The teacher refused to place credence in the
rumour, and even questioned his chief and pretended friend, who
assured him that there was not the slightest grain of truth in the
rumour.
The Hula teacher returned, leaving Matatuhi behind. On Monday, the
7th, Taria, along with five Hula boys, proceeded in a boat to Kalo and
Kerepunu, with the view of bringing the teachers and their families to
Hula, on account of the ill-health of some of the party. He called at
Kalo on the way thither, and apprised the teacher of his intention to
call on the return journey. At Kerepunu he took on board the teacher,
his wife and two children, and one native youth. The party then
proceeded to Kalo. During the interval of waiting there, the chief
and pretended friend of the Kalo teacher got into the boat for a chat.
On the arrival of Matatuhi and the Kalo teacher, along with his wife
and two children, the chief stepped out of the boat.
