Nā, kei tahuri a Hēnare, ka waha i a Hira ki uta, ka waiho kia takoto ana i roto i te one pūwera, ā ka ngiha te ahi i te kanikani rākau, nā ka mukumuku, ka takahurihuri i a ia, ā ora ake ana ia (TMT 1/8/1861:13). / Then Henare carried Hira ashore and laid him in the warm sand, ignited a fire by rubbing wood together, rubbed and rolled him until he revived.
