Note 22 — CONTENTS. (continued 2)

Kaohelo is one of the gods22 of Pele even unto this day. Malulani and Kaohelo died and left Pele and Hiiaka. While they were living together, and because Pele continued the fire whereby Hiiaka could not get enough sleep, she (Hiiaka) said to her older sister, “Why do you kindle the fire? I can’t get enough sleep on account of my back being heated by the fire. It is better that we let our younger sister go, and let her find a place of residence.” So Pele then let Kaohelo go. She went along until she arrived in Koolau,23 Oahu; Heeia24 was a good-looking man of that time living there, but he had died. When his soul saw her soul they greeted each other as strangers do, and he took her to his home; passing the time pleasantly for a few minutes, Heeia asked Kaohelo, “Where are you traveling to, and where did you come from?” She replied, “Why, Hawaii is our place of residence with my elder sisters, but I died. And because the back of my elder sister, Hiiaka, was heated with fire all the time, she told our eldest sister to send me away, and that is why I have been traveling to find a place where I might dwell.”
