Note 29 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

While they were living, Heeia took particular notice that Hiiaka29 was a very pretty woman; she had lived at the crater of Kilauea until she became like a wonderful blossom of the mountain; Heeia made up his mind to make Hiiaka his own, which desire was reciprocated. They became husband and wife and lived as peacefully as the still water of Hauola. But poor Kaohelo was sad at heart because the Puulena30 (the cold wind of Kilauea) had gone on to Hilo, gone on to find a mate for it with which to ease its journey during that long travel; she had been left behind by the son of the shadowy precipices31 of Koolau. Because Kaohelo loved her husband very dearly she hanged herself, and thus endeth the story of Kaohelo. That is the story of how Kaohelo came from Kahiki and was spread about here in Hawaii.
