The Maori Legend.
To Mr.. j. Cowan, of the Tourist De-
partment, Kipa Henri Whire, an old
man of seventy, and the leading au-
thority of the Sounds Maoris on their
ancestral history and 'whakapapas"
genealogical recitals, etc., related
recently the Maori legend of the fam
GUS fish. "a long time ago." he said
eleven generations, my ancestor
Matua-Hautere first came to- the shores
of Haiere. He brought this pilot-fish
of ours with him. Matua- Hautere was
a descendant of Kupe, the great sailor
from Hawaiki, who discovered these
shores of Raukawa Cook Strait. In
his canoe come Matua- Hautere, from
the Fish-of-Maui, the North Island, and
with him escorting his canoe came
Kaikai-a-maro. That was the first time
the taniwha was seen in the waters
of Haiere. The canoe crew padded
| along and Kaikai-a-maro came plung-
ing away sometimes ahead and some
times abreast of the canoe bow, and
in his rolling and diving he seemed
to give the time for the paddles that
was how he came leading on the Ran
gatira in his great canoe. Swimming
along ahead of Matua-Hautere' s
canoe, Kaikai-a-maro led the way up
the winding sound of Haiere expecting
to find a clear sea-passage through be-
tween the hills. He went on until
he arrived at the very head of the
! Sound, near where Havelock town
! now stands. There he nosed out
the lower yRart of the channel in
which the Pelorus river now flows
the winding course of that river was
caused by the struggle of my taniwha
in his attempt to force a passage
through the sea in tn other side" The
old man related other legends connect
ed with doings of the fish-pilot, anC
continued: From that day to this
Kaikai-a-maro has been the guardian

so. He was a good fish. When the
white mans religion was brought to
this country the fish disappeared for
a time The Maori tohungas used to
repeat Karakia to him, but the in
carnations of the white priests fright
ened him away. Then the Maori
priests karada'd that he might return
to be a pilot as before for the canoes
Of the Maori chiefs. And in the course
of after years, when fishing was car

Maori fishermen cleaned their fish,
the remains were thrown into the sea
and were carried by the tide to the
place where Kaikai-a-maro dwelt.
Then he came forth, attracted by the
remains Of the fish floating on the
waters, and it was then that he be-
gan to follow the boats of the fisher.
men. Then after this there came the
steamers, and the crews of those
steamers threw meat over to feed
him. This is why he first came out
in search of passing steamers, habit
which he has continued up to the
present time"

A statement which may throw some
light on the identity of the large white
fish reported to have been found by
Messrs. Wells Bros, of D'Urville Is
land, was made to a press" reporter
by Captain Corby, of the coastal
steamer Arapawa, which is at present
in Lyttelton. About a fortnight ago,
While on visit to Puponga, which lies
just inside Farewell Spit, Captain Cor
by saw a great shoal of blackfish
which had been washed up on the
beach near the township. There were
at least $50 to 200 of the big fish, and
many of them were still living, as
they were covered at high water, but
were unable to get off the sand.
Among the great shoal of strande
fish, which presented an extraordinary
sight, was a large white fish. A few
days later, strong southerly gale
and sea washed many of the fish, in
Guiding the white one, off the beach.
On his return trip to Juponga, when
the Arapawa was steaming across
Golden Bay, Captain Corby sighted
several of the big fish, including the
white one, and he expressed himself
as being strongly of the opinion that
the white fish reported from D'UrviIle
Island, was the one which he passed
at sea and which he thinks has been
cast ashore on the island, and was not

rus Jack"
