Note 10 — PREFACE. (continued 4)

During the first part of Kila’s life in Waipio he lived under the people as a servant, doing everything he was told to do. His constant labors consisted of farming and the cooking and the preparation of the food for his masters. He lived in this lowly life for a period of about three years. At times he was told by the people with whom he was living to bring firewood from the top of the cliff, when he would climb to the top of Puaahuku. During one of his climbs to the top of this cliff, he was seen by a priest who was living in the temple of Pakaalana, by means of the constant appearance of a rainbow10 that hung over this cliff. Upon seeing this sign, the priest determined to find out if this sign was indeed the sign of a high chief. But he was not able to see the sign every day, however, as Kila did not always go to the top of the cliff, only doing this at certain times, when he was in quest of firewood.
