154 Fornander Collection of Hawaiian Folk-lore. 



Late in the evening the people of Kau heard the beating of a drum together 

 with the notes of a kaeke ' flute, which startled them and they rushed out to see where 

 these sounds came from. When they got outside they saw that these sounds came from 

 aboard of a double canoe. Upon seeing this the people remarked : "It is the canoe of 

 the god Kupulupulu. These sounds came from that canoe." When the people heard 

 that it was Kupulupulu's canoe they prepared food and swine as offerings to the god. 

 As soon as it was daylight the next day the canoe and the people on it were seen, 

 and the people ashore cried out : "Ye makers of the sounds, here is food and swine; they 

 are offerings for the god." 



Laamakahiki, however, did not make a long stay at Kailikii, when he again set 

 sail, coming along the Kona coast. On this passage from Kau to Kona, Laamakahiki 

 continued to beat the drum and play on the flute, and he was accorded the same treat- 

 ment by the Kona people as was given him by the people of Kau. It was on this visit 

 that hula dancing, accompanied by the drum, is said to have been introduced in Hawaii 

 bv Laamaikahiki. 



Laamaikahiki, after receiving food and swine from the Kona people, continued 

 on his journey to Kauai where he met his brother'' Kila and made arrangements as to 

 the taking of the bones of Moikeha to Tahiti. Soon after these arrangements were 

 made the bones of Moikeha were brought from Haena. On this occasion Lamaikahiki 

 made a long visit on Kauai and occupied his time in teaching the people the art of 

 dancing. From Kauai Laamaikahiki visited all the other islands of this group for the 

 purpose of teaching the people the drum dance. 



Soon after Laamaikahiki's return to Kauai from his tour of the other islands, 

 he made ready for his return to Tahiti, taking with him his brother Kila and the bones 

 of their father^ which were to be deposited in the mountain of Kapaahu, Moikeha's own 

 inheritance, where Laamaikahiki and Kila also lived until their death. Nothing more 

 was heard of these two since that time. 



CHAPTER X. 



The Story of Olopana and His Wife. 



It is said that Olopana was once the king of the island of Hawaii, who made 

 his permanent home in Waipio, where he lived with his wife Luukia. There are, 

 however, three Olopanas spoken of amongst certain people: The Olopana mentioned 

 in the story of Kamapuaa, the Olopana said to be of Tahiti, and the Olopana men- 

 tioned in this story. But the Olopana of this story was the Olopana who first went 

 to Tahiti with his wife Luukia, the same as mentioned in the legend of Moikeha. 

 The genealogy of Olopana cannot be recounted here, as it is not known. The only 

 things known of Olopana are the events of his reign on Hawaii and his arrival at 

 Tahiti, which are as follows.
