Reading edition

After the shells were secured by Umi, a deep yearning sprang up in the breast of Keaau for them. After studying for a time for means of recovering the shells, he one day prepared his canoe for sea, procured a pig, some awa and ouholowai3 and eleuli, kapas of Olaa. The kapas he put into a calabash and then the pig, the awa and the calabash were placed into the canoe, which he then boarded and set out on a journey around Hawaii in search of some one who could steal back his shells from Umi.
