When the child was born Pokai and her child Namakaokapaoo were quite destitute, and while they were in that condition of life a good man named Pualii came from Lihue2 to fish at Honouliuli. He turned in at the home of Pokai. He looked at her and had a yearning for her. He said: “I desire you to be my wife.” Pokai returned: “How could you have a desire for me, seeing that I have already given birth to a child, and my body is defiled?” Pualii answered: “There’s nothing in those things if you desire our union.” Pokai then assented and went with her husband Pualii, and resided at the plans of Keahumoa.3 (Kula-o-Keahumoa.)
