Maori folk-tales of the Port Hills, Canterbury, New Zealand, How the Sacred Fire Came to Witch Hill., sentence 15

Here the Takitimu was hauled ashore and if one is to accept literally the legend of the Maori, there she is to be seen now, metamorphosed in marvellous fashion into mountain form, the lofty blue range of the Takitimu--mis-spelled “Takitimos” on the maps and locally spoken of as “the Takitimos.”

Who acts: one, lofty blue range · What happens: haul, be, see, metamorphose, spell, speak · To what, where: Takitimu, marvellous fashion, Takitimos, maps · Speech: someone speaks here
