Note 27 — CONTENTS (continued 4)

After they had been in Waikiki for about three days, they joined in with the people of the place, it being their customary pastime to go out every day surf riding. During these days Makolea also joined in the sport and went out to enjoy the surf. On the fourth day Makolea went in again, but went beyond the usual place and took the surf at Kalehuawehe. The surf at this place was the most noted in those days and it is so to this day. While she was surfing, a couple of messengers from the king of Kauai arrived; they were Keaumiki and Keauka.27 These two were the body or personal servants of Kaikipaananea, the king of Kauai, who were on a search for a wife for their foster son, Kaikipaananea. While they were coming past Leahi, just adjoining the Mamala channel, they saw Makolea surf riding. When they first saw her they were so attracted by her good looks that they could not keep their eyes from her; on coming nearer they saw that she was indeed beautiful, having no equal. Therefore they came and took her off to Kauai to be the wife of Kaikipaananea.
