Fornander Collection of Hawaiian Folk-lore, 



The potatoes of Pnukamaele, 



Of Kipapai, of Honokaupu, 



Of the Oopu' of Waikolu. 



I am going home to partake of some food. 



The kala^ shall be my fish 



Until satisfied. 



It is a fish sacred to my god. 



L,et the canoe enter 



At Kaluakoi, 



The barren coast of Puumomi, 



At the entrance of Wailau, 



Of Umipiilaui. 



It is the mirage of Mana; 



It is as though following behind; 



The water is following; 



The water of Kamakahou is following; 



The water that is not water, 



The mirage of Mana. 



Like the sea is the water, 



Like the water is the sea. 



The sugar-cane trash from my eating 



Was cast away, left behind, forgotten. 



After I had gone beyond 



I failed to recognize. 



What was seen behind, again appears in 



front. 

 The Iliau has wilted in the sun 

 [As] the plentiful dew of the morning. 

 What was seen behind, again appears in front 

 Of Laauhaele. 

 Passed are the emblems of the god of the 



year, 

 Gone to bury the dead 

 [On] the barren sands of Nouohili. 

 The coconut grove bends low seaward of Pokii, 

 In reverence to [the god] Makalii. 



One can here follow on with the portion of the chant that remains. It is also a 

 chant in honor of the name of Lonoikamakahiki, which is the one that Lanahuimihaku 

 heard, and it is often added to the chant tanght them by Ohaikawiliula. 



When Lonoikamakahiki was repeating the chant which Ohaikawiliula had 

 taught Kakuhihewa, Kakiihihewa saw that Lonoikamakahiki knew it, so he said to 

 Lanahtiimihakti and his companion: "Say, I see that Lonoikamakahiki knows of this 

 chant?" Lanahuimihakti and his companion replied, saying to Kaktihihewa: "Yes, 

 we see that he does. We lived with him while in Hawaii, but he had no chant of this 

 kind. It is possible, however, that a canoe has gone to Hawaii withotit touching here 

 and the chant was carried to Hawaii in that wa3^" 



After Kaktihihewa was beaten by Lonoikamakahiki, Kakuhihewa ordered all the 

 people to get out of the house and thus leave the hotise to Lonoikamakahiki, the king 

 of Hawaii, who had won. When this order was given Lonoikamakahiki was standing 

 just otitside of the door with a war club in his hands. As soon as the order was given 

 to vacate the house the men immediately proceeded to go out; but as soon as the first 

 party started out they were killed by Lonoikamakahiki. When the people saw this the 

 retreated back into the house for they were afraid of being put to death by Lonoika- 

 makahiki. When Kakuhihewa saw the people coming back into the house he asked: 

 "Why are you people coming back? Don't 3'oti know that we have to get out and leave 

 the house to Lonoikamakahiki?" The people replied : "Don't you know that you made 

 a foolish bet? Stich and such persons have been killed by Lonoikamakahiki. Here 

 yoti have made a wager whereby we are to be killed." 



When Kakuhihewa heard this from the people, he said to Lanahuimihaku and 

 his companion: "Say, is this true?" Lanahuimihaku and his companion then replied: 



• Oopu, a small mud-fish, said to be so tame as to cling to one's hand. 



' Kahi {Moiioi'civs Kiiicontis), a sacred fisli.
