🌲 Maori folk-tales of the Port Hills, Canterbury, New Zealand, Rapaki: a Village By the Sea., sentence 65

Remains there but a remnant from the general slaughter with fire and axe and crosscut saw--a copse on yonder rocky point on the Lyttelton side of the hamlet, where the poetically named _ake-rautangi_, the _ake_ of the “crying leaves” and a few other shrubs hold their little stony fort; and in Taare Tikao’s garden the _kaumatua_ has some treasured plants, such as the handsome _rau-tawhiri_ shrub, and the flowering _hakeke_, a variety of _ake_, the leaves of which when crushed in the hand have a lemon-like perfume; the Natives used to boil them for the _hinu kakara_, the fragrant oil expressed.

Who acts: Remains, _, kaumatua, flowering, leaves, Natives · What happens: see, name, ake, cry, hold, have · To what, where: copse, rocky point, rautangi, little stony fort, treasured plants, garden · Speech: someone speaks here
