I te tīmatanga tō ngā whatīanga raparapa te hōhonu. Rere mai ana, tō ngā turi, rere tonu mai ana, tō ngā hope, ā ka matara mai, nā he awa e kore e taea te whiti (TH 1/3/1860:4). / At the start the depth is up to the ankles. It flows on and it's up to the knees, it continues flowing on and it's up to the hips, and a long way on it's now a river which can not be crossed.
