Maori folk-tales of the Port Hills, Canterbury, New Zealand, How the Sacred Fire Came to Witch Hill., sentence 14

First making the land in the far north, he voyaged on down the East Coast, sailing and paddling from bay to bay, leaving here and there some of his sea-weary crew, who intermarried with the inhabitants, and he did not cease his sailorly enterprise until he had reached the foggy shore of Murihiku, the “Tail of the Land” which the white man calls Southland.

Who acts: heart, weary crew, white man · What happens: make, voyage, sail, paddle, bay, leave · To what, where: land, far north, East Coast, bay, some, sailorly enterprise · Speech: someone speaks here
