whereupou Kamaliualele stood up and praj-ed ' \)y waj' of a mele their voyage hither. 

 Upon their arrival at Hilo, Kiimukahi and Haehae became charmed with Hilo, and 

 so expressed to Moikeha their desire to remain there, whereupon Moikeha allowed 

 them to take up their residence at Hilo. 



Moikeha soon after set sail from Hilo, sailing along the north coast of Hawaii 

 until they arrived at Kohala, when Mookini and Kaluawilinau expressed their desire to 

 take up their residence at Kohala. Moikeha therefore landed them there. On leaving 

 Kohala they sailed along the eastern coast of Maui until they reached Hana, when one 

 of his men, Honuanla, expressed his desire of making this his place of residence, so he 

 too was allowed to remain behind. From this last place they sailed on until they were 

 between Lanai and Molokai. When directly opposite Kawela, Kamahualele spied a 

 canoe directl}- out from the Kalaau Point, when their course was changed and the canoe 

 was steered towards this canoe by Kamahualele. Upon their arrival at the place where 

 the canoe was floating, they found it was Kakakauhanui. This man's usual occupation 

 was fishing, and it was his daily custom to come to this place for this purpose. 



When Moikeha saw this man who was large and well built, and had the appear- 

 ence of being a powerful and fearless man, Moikeha took him to be his friend, and 

 upon leaving him gave the following instructions: "I am going to leave j'ou here, 

 while I continue on to look for a place for us to reside in, when I shall send some one to 

 bring j-ou to me." After giving the above instructions, Moikeha and his people left 

 Kalaau Point and continued on their journey. Upon arriving at Oahu, Moikeha's 

 sisters expressed their wish to remain in Oahu and make their homes here, so Makapuu 

 and Makaaoa requested Moikeha to allow them to remain, saying: "We wish to make 

 this our place of residence, where we can see the cloud drifts of Tahiti." Because of 

 this desire on the part of the two sisters, Makapuii and Makaaoa, they were allowed 

 to remain on Oahu, thus leaving Moikeha, his foster-son Kamahualele, the two pad- 

 dlers Kapahi and Moanaikaiaiwe, Kipunuiaiakamau and his companion, and the two 

 spies Kaukaukamunolca and his companion, to continue on the journey. 



They then set sail from Oahu and continued on their way until they arrived at 

 Wailua. This was late in the evening, being dark when they arrived, so they did not 

 land, but moored their double canoe all that night imtil the next daj-. Early in the 

 morning the people saw this double canoe floating in the sea with the kapu sticks of a 

 chief aboard. About this time the canoes made for the landing and were lifted up and 

 deposited on the shore. When the travelers landed, the people were gathering in great 

 numbers to go surf-riding at the surf of Kamakaiwa. In this gathering of people 

 were the two daiighters of the king of Kauai, who were on their way to ride the surf; 

 they were Hooipoikamalanai and Hinauit. Upon seeing the people on their way to 

 ride the surf, Moikeha and his companions also followed along to take jjart in this 

 morning exercise. Moikeha was a goodly man to look upon, he had dark reddish hair 

 and a tall commanding figure. 



When Hooipoikamalanai and her sister saw Moikeha the}' immediately fell in 

 love with him, and they then and there made up their minds to take him to be their
