The adventure was now taken in hand by his wife Faatulia, a woman of much sense and spirit and a strong partisan; and by her contrivance, Seumanu gave his guardians the slip and rejoined his clan at Faleula. This process of winnowing was of course counterbalanced by another of recruitment.

They were then taken out, and allowed to dry; and after that shaken about in a pan, until all the legs and wings were broken off from the bodies.
