King says that Parea was a particularly cleanly person, so he did not so much mind this feeding, but Cook, remembering how Koah had handled the putrid hog, was unable to swallow a mouthful, "and his reluctance, as may be supposed, was not diminished, when the old man, according to his own mode of civility, had chewed it for him."
"This evening we must be content, once more, with a pare," said father, as he ate; "but to-morrow the lamp shall burn in this very house." "Look, father! Pekka has been splitting parea all day, and filled the outhouse with them." "That's all right. We've fuel now, at any rate, to last us all the winter, for we sha'n't want them for anything else."

But the storm burst in words.

"You may save yourself the trouble then," said father, and he winked at us. "Well, but you can't get a blaze out of it at all, otherwise." "You may save yourself the trouble, I say."

The officer refused to surrender it; and in the subsequent contest, Parea received so violent a blow on the head with an oar, that he fell senseless to the ground.
