Note 10 — PREFACE. (continued 5)

When the two forties of men were ready to return to Hawaii, Mokupane the priest instructed the old couple, saying: “If a very large man with locks of hair that are as long as a bunch of olona10 should come while you two are here, that is the man for whom this well has been prepared and here he must die. When he comes give him all your fish so that after he shall have eaten the fish he will be very thirsty. When he asks of you for some water don’t give him any, but direct him to this well.” After these instructions were imparted by the priest, he and the men returned to Hawaii, where the priest began to invoke of the gods for the death of Kalaepuni.
