It was the fishermen of Nabukelevu who tried to take away Tinaicoboga, the wife of the chief of Namuana, and her daughter Raudalice. These two women saved themselves by turning into turtles. The turtles that now live in the bay are descendants of these two women. The people of Namuana and Nabukelevu are great rivals. That is why the turtles will not rise to the surface if any member of the village of Nabukulevu is present during the turtle calling by the Namuana maidens.
