But when you get a slice out of miles and miles of pathless woods, and have to hew your future farm out of them, you are apt to forget the more distant future, and go at everything before you with axe and fire.

Most of the houses are, of course, the usual raupo wharès, but there are carpentered frame-houses in the kainga as well.
