When the spirits arrived at the long house where Kaneopa and his companions were sleeping they all entered and Halalii sat on the door sill. The spirits were so numerous that they were without number.1 They made but one smack and the people disappeared, all eaten up by the spirits. The spirits then began digging up the floor of the house except that portion under the sill where Halalii was sitting. At the approach of day the spirits all returned to their home and Haneopa came out of his hiding place and limping to the canoe he pushed it into the sea and set sail for Kauai.
