Note 111 — CONTENTS. (continued 2)

Let us leave off consideration of this brave man and this daring fellow, and speak of the child in the womb of the mother at Hawaii. When the child was born, a female prophet saw that this was to be a strong child, and no one who dared him could escape. The name of this old woman was Kolea, and she lived near the home of the child’s parents. The child was brought up until he had attained manhood, when the desire seized him to go sightseeing. He said to his father, “I am desiring to go sightseeing.” The father said: “Where do you wish to travel to?” He replied: “Along here, somewheres.” The father said: “If you wish to go sightseeing, your sister is at an island ahead here, at Kauai.” The son asked: “What is the name of the place where they are living?” The father told him, “At Mana, Kauai.” He waited for some time. Again the father said, “Should you go, and your sister does not recognize you, tell her about us, and she will then know you.” He agreed to do so. They lived together until the aspiring one went on his journey of sightseeing. The father first secured the club on which their calabashes were hanging, and gave it into the hands of the lad. He was taught how to cast the spear, until it was seen that he was very proficient. He then went along, carrying the club with him. He made a circuit of Hawaii. Finding a canoe about to sail for Maui he went and stood at the landing place. The men of the canoe saw what a handsome man he was. The names of the owners of the canoe were Liuliu,111 Makaukau and Aumai. The men said to the lad, “Where are you journeying to?” “Sailing for Maui; and I came to inquire concerning your canoe; where is it bound?” “We are sailing for Maui,” they replied. They sailed together and arrived at Maui. Their canoe landed at Kukui, Kipahulu. He (the lad) came along and slept at Pelekane, Lahaina. When he found a canoe going to Molokai, he sailed in it and was landed at Halawa, Molokai. He went sightseeing, and because of the heat of the sun he went in bathing. The name of the place where he bathed is Hakawai. He left his club on the bank. A man arrived and took it saying, “I have found something at Hakawai.” Then the lad said to the man, “You are taking my club; mine is the next [move] when I shall kill you.” The man had a spear. The lad followed him; when the man threw the spear at the boy the latter caught it first at the point; in returning it the man was struck in the pit of the stomach and the spear pierced the back. The lad stuck the butt of the spear in the ground and impaled the man on it. He kept on his journey. Arriving at Kaunakahakai his spear was taken by one of the champions of the place to a cave. No sooner had the other entered the cave than the lad also appeared and asked for his spear; but it was not given him. He closed the mouth of the cave; when there was a small opening left, he lighted a fire. On account of the heat in the cave from the fire, the local champion thrust out the point of the spear. The boy caught and jerked it, but the tip was already burned. He went along until he found a canoe sailing for Lanai. He boarded this canoe and met Pololu. He did not tarry long at this place. He again boarded the canoe which brought him from Molokai and sailed for Oahu, landing at Ewa. He stayed there for some time, then sailed for Kauai and landed at Wailua, but kept on until he arrived at Mana. He asked a woman whom he met, “Do you know Kamauoha?” “Yes; this is his house by which we now stand.” He turned in there; arriving at the door of the house he noticed that inside the house was full of people. His sister called, not knowing that this was her brother. She asked, “From where did you come?” He replied, “I came from Hawaii, seeking for my sister Luukia.” The other asked who his parents were, and he explained all from the beginning to the end. So they began to wail. They wailed from that day to night, and all through the night to the next day. The husband of the sister thought that this was a lover of hers. Then he told the people to prepare food; at the same time he instructed them: “When you have prepared food and the finger bowl is set in the middle, I will call him to come and eat; when he washes his hands in the basin, then I will say this: ‘You are washing your hands; for what purpose?’ When he replies, I will turn to you, and that will be your cue to deride him.” The food was prepared, as well as the basin for washing the hands in. The lad was called, and he came; and while washing his hands the brother-in-law spoke: “You are washing your hands; for what purpose?” The lad answered, “I was called by those in that corner and this corner to move up to the middle.” “Is that so? Was this one called to come and eat?” asked the evil-minded brother-in-law. “No,” replied the others. “How I am shamed!” Without touching the food, he returned to where he had previously lain, without saying a word to the sister.
