A pointed stick of hard wood is rubbed against a piece of dry paper-mulberry until a groove, is formed, which finally becomes hot from the friction and ignites the lint\nor fiber thrown up at the end of the groove. This is blown into a flame, and dried grass added to it until the fire is sufficiently established.","tags":[],"text":null,"title":"Te Pito Te Henua, or Easter Island: Fire","tradition":"Sacred Texts -- Pacific Islander Religions","translated_text":null,"word_count":174}
