Note 13 — PREFACE. (continued 5)

Upon reaching Waipio they were informed this was the day when sacrifices were to be offered in the temple, and the day when Kaialea was to be sacrificed. As they were approaching land the people from shore saw a double canoe with its platform13 covered, which was a sign that a chief was aboard. At this same time Kila saw his mother and aunt and his brothers. So he gave orders that the houses be made ready to receive them. After they had landed Hooipoikamalanai and Hinauu were sent for and they were brought to the palace of Kunaka, which was near the temple of Pakaalana, while the brothers of Kila were taken to the other houses apart from their mothers.
