Note 37 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

The third cane: this cane is named Manulele.37 The characteristics of this cane are: it is white and green striped, and has long joints. The reason for calling it Manulele is because of a man with a woman. They lived peaceably as husband and wife, but after some time there grew up in one of them the desire to go astray, thus bringing about discord, and the husband or perhaps the wife is taken by another. The one remaining would still be very much in love, trying in various ways to occupy his mind, thinking this affection would soon pass away; but no, it would not cease. Then after a while some one who knows how to intensify love is heard of and is sent for, and upon arrival this kahuna would ask, “What ails you?” The man would respond, “The love of wife, that is why I am ailing; I do not desire food; I was fond of food and fish when living with my wife, but at this time we are contending together, I do not care for food.” The kahuna would say, “That is a sickness easily cured if I should treat you.” Then the sick man would say, “Suppose then you treat me.” “All right,” the kahuna would say. Then he would get this cane, that is, the Manulele, and would explain as follows: “This cane is Manulele (flying bird); her love will fly to you, she will cease her wanderings until you two are parted by death.” That is the name of this cane, Manulele.
