Note 8 — PREFACE. (continued 4)

All that night Kila followed the aged priestess, and this was continued from the morning of the next day until evening, when they arrived near the place where Laamaikahiki was living. Kuhelepolani then told him: “Let us remain here until we again hear the notes of the drum, when you will enter into the mua,8 the house where the people worship. When we get to the door of the mua, then you must go right in and conceal yourself in one of the inside corners. You must then remain in your hiding place until your brother enters the house, then be watchful; the one who approaches and strikes the drum is Laamaikahiki; but wait until the priests get in line and begin the chanting, then call him.”
