Note 63 — CONTENTS. (continued 2)

On Maui’s return to his birthplace at Makaliua he saw that an owl was being raised by his parents. Maui did not treat him with contempt. What he did on his return this time was to go fishing. His favorite mode of fishing was pole fishing at night: one night he went out and while he was idling away a canoe came along looking for a man to be offered in sacrifice by the king; Maui was taken prisoner and brought to the chief at Halulukoakoa. This place is at Moalii, Maui, in a westerly direction from Lahainaluna. He was to be placed on the altar the following day. At this time Hina saw in a vision what was happening to Maui. So Hina and the owl followed along and at Pohakuawahinemauna63 Hina stayed there. This place is between Keawaawa and Kakonamoku. The owl flew on to where Maui was being guarded; the guards were not asleep. He saw that Maui was tied up with coconut-husk cords. The owl waited until early dawn, but the guard would not sleep.
