Text Appearing Before Image:
The Maoris believe that the excellent crops there obtained were due to the mana of their god Rongo, a stone representation of which Ngati-Rahiri formerly possessed. Many generations after this time the image was borrowed by the people of Puke-ariki pa (New Plymouth Railway Station), who ever afterwards stuck to it and finally hid it there. In the excavations made by Europeans at this old pa the stone image was found, and it is now in the Nelson Museum.* [...] *It is shown in Plate No. 10.
Text Appearing After Image:
Plate No. 10. The Kumara god, Rongo.
