and Te Rauparaha, at that time they were fighting and became weak from the fighting.
Standing face to face, one said to the other "strike me with your club" the other said "no, you
strike me with your club". Thier clubs touched one another, it was then said "I have peace
within me let it cross over to you and I will instill it in my people"
