Note 31 — PREFACE. (continued 3)

After Aukelenuiaiku had been gone about a month, Namakaokahai came out of her dwelling-house and looked about. At the end of another month she again went out and looked, and there she saw her husband still flying. She then remained for another month, at the end of which time she again looked for her husband, but after looking in all directions she was unable to see him. After looking for some time without seeing him, she began to have fears that he must be dead for having gone outside of the straight limits directed him, and therefore he must have fallen into space.31 She began to weep and wail for her husband, for she loved him much. When her brothers heard the weeping they came to find out the cause. When they came in her presence, they asked her: “Why are you weeping?” “Your brother-in-law is dead.”
