Note 8 — PREFACE. (continued 4)
Reading edition
After living with his mother for a few days, Puniakaia decided to go to Kauai to make a visit; so he started out until he came to the Kaena point, at Waianae, where he met some men who were lashing their canoe for a trip to Kauai. Puniakaia upon coming up to these men, asked them: “Where are you going with this canoe?” “To Kauai.” “Can I go with you?” “And why not? The canoe is yours.”8 The reason why these people allowed Puniakaia to go to Kauai with them was because he was such a handsome looking man.
