Note 10 — CONTENTS (continued 4)

Kalakeenuiakane was a very large shark; he was the king of all the sharks in the sea, and it was this shark that swallowed alive the brother of Kaulu. At the conclusion of the conversation between Makalii and Kaulu, Kaulu returned and proceeded to the presence of Kalakeenuiakane10 and asked him: “Say, have you seen my brother?” “Yes, I have seen him; he is no more; he has turned into hair and into filth.” Kaulu then asked him: “Are you strong?” “Yes,” said the shark. “What is your strength?” Kalakeenuiakane replied: “If I open my mouth my upper jaw can reach the heaven while my lower jaw rests at the bottom of the earth.” Kaulu then asked of his own hands: “Say, Limakaukahi and Limapaihala,11 is he really strong?” The hands replied: “No.” The shark then opened its mouth and Kaulu stepped in and held the jaws open. He then called those in the belly of the shark to come out, and Kaholeha came forth; his hair was all gone, but he was still alive. Shortly after this Kaulu and his brother returned home.
