🌲 Maori folk-tales of the Port Hills, Canterbury, New Zealand, The Story of the Rocks., sentence 11

There is hardly a more interesting specimen of vulcanism in New Zealand, for example, than the strange wall of grey-white lava rock which Europeans call the Giant’s Causeway and the Maoris “The Fire of Tamatea,” which protrudes from the hilltop just above Rapaki, and which may be seen again on the far side of the harbour, a volcanic dyke that the ancient people--with surely some perception of geological truth--connected in their legends with the internal fires of the North Island.

Who acts: interesting specimen, Europeans, strange wall · What happens: be, call, protrude, see, connect, perceive · To what, where: grey white lava rock, hilltop, far side, ancient people, legends, geological truth · Speech: someone speaks here
