Inside of the gourd was a garment, a girdle and a royal cloak (feather cloak). After he had obtained the gourd he journeyed on till he reached Hanauma,11 in Maunalua. There he found a canoe which was preparing to sail for Hawaii, bearing garments for the king of Hawaii. There were two men preparing to set sail, so Namakaokapaoo asked them: “Where is your canoe sailing to?” “To Hawaii,” they answered. Namakaokapaoo again asked: “Can I not go with you two?” The men refused, saying: “You cannot go with us, because we are taking goods for the king, and if you are to go the canoe would be overloaded and the king’s goods damaged. Therefore, you cannot go with us.” But when the men were ready to sail, he slipped in unnoticed by the men, and secreted himself in the rear of the canoe.
