and looked, and there she saw her husband still flying. She then remained for another 

 month, at the end of which time she again looked for her husband, but after looking 

 in all directions she was unable to see him. After looking for some time without see- 

 ing him, she began to have fears that he must be dead for having gone outside of the 

 straight limits directed him, and therefore he must have fallen into space.' She 

 began to weep and wail for her husband, for she loved him much. When her brothers 

 heard the weeping they came to find out the cause. When they came in her presence, 

 they asked her: "Why are you weeping?" "Your brother-in-law is dead." 



We will here say a few words relating to the relatives of Namakaokahai and 

 how they all mourned for Aukelenuiaiku. 



After the brothers came to Namakaokahai, she sent them all to get all from 

 above and bring those who were there to mourn for Aukelenuiaiku. These were, the 

 uight, the day, the sun, the stars, the thunder, the rainbow, the lightning, the water- 

 spout, the fog, the fine rain, the moon, Kaukihikamalama," the grandfather of Namaka- 

 okahai. "Bring them all down," she said. "If they refuse to come to weep for my 

 husband, I will kill them all." After ordering her brothers to do this they proceeded 

 on their way, and in course of a very short time everybody came, for they feared death 

 by Namakaokahai. 



After the arrival of all these people, Namakaokahai again sent out her brothers 

 to go and bring those who were in heaven. They were, Kuwahailo, Makalii, Kama- 

 lanaikuaheahea, Kukuena, Mahuia, Ikuwa and Welehu. "Tell all these people to 

 come down and weep for my husband. If they refuse to come in obedience to my 

 commands, I will kill them all. I also want you to tell my cousin Makalii, that his 

 wife must cease coming on the hands of the people;^ if he disregards this, I will kill 

 him this daj'." 



In a very short time this message was delivered and the people all came together 

 and joined in weeping for Aukelenuiaiku, the husband of their queen. 



We will now take up again the flight of Aukelenuiaiku. 



In this flight, Aukelenuiaiku did not fly within the straight limits given him, 

 so he fell into space and he grew weaker and weaker until he was almost dead. In 

 this long flight, the arm under which the box containing the god was held, became so 

 tired that he changed the box under the other arm; in doing this the god Lonoikoualii 

 saw for the first time that they had departed from the direct line shown them by 

 Namakaokahai. Lonoikoualii then said to Aukelenuiaiku : "We are flying outside 

 of the limits given us and not on the line. The fire is burning there on the earth and 

 I see everybody has gone down below except one person." Aukelenuiaiku asked: 

 "Who is it that is still up here?" Lonoikoualii, his god, replied : "That thing stationed 

 up there; fly for it and hold it fast, and then we will be saved." 



The object which the god Lonoikoualii referred to was the grandfather of 

 Namakaokahai, Kaukihikamalama, the moon. The reason whj^ he was later than the 



'iVi?«^/a, a miry or soft place; /^zfa «»7<, an indefinite ''A'aa^zAz^a>«a/a»za, the moon placed on edge, 



place on earth, the opposite ; generally connected with a-nig custom, as evidence of high rank and rare beauty, 



lewa lam, a place belonging to anything above or in the ^.35 to be withdrawn, 

 heavens; hence, fallen into space.
