Note 10 — Introductory material (continued 3)

After Kaeha was brought to life again by Kaulu they returned to live on Oahu. When they arrived at Papakolea, Moanalua, Kaulu left Kaeha at this place while he continued on his way to Kapalama in search of Haumea. Haumea was a spirit that lived at Niuhelewai, Oahu. It was a female spirit. Upon the arrival of Kaulu he found Haumea asleep. Kaulu then called: “Say, Haumea, why don’t you get up, cook your food and afterwards fight with Kaulu?” Haumea then sat up while Kaulu returned home and then flew up to Makalii who asked him: “What is it you want, Kaulu?” “I have come for the net.10 Give it to me so that I will be able to kill Haumea.” Makalii then gave him his nets, Maoleha and its mate. Kaulu then returned and again found Haumea asleep. Kaulu then surrounded the house with the nets, after which he called out to Haumea: “Are you to continue on sleeping? Why don’t you get up and let us fight?” Haumea then woke up and tried this way and that to get out of the house. Kaulu kept at some distance away from the house and ran around it. At seeing Kaulu running around, Haumea attempted to get after him and was entangled in the net where she was caught and killed. Kaulu then went for Kaeha and they returned to Kailua [Oahu] their birthplace where their parents were then living.
