loakuaana was satisfied that Lonoikamakaliiki was well able to take charge of all things 

 pertaining to the government. Because of this, Kanaloakuaana told Ivonoikamakahiki 

 to fill the vacancy left by Keawenuiaumi, so Lonoikamakahiki assumed control of the 

 government. It was Lonoikamakahiki together with his wife, however, that took 

 charge of all the lands of Hawaii, and the two were the head of the government. 



After Lonoikamakahiki had ruled for some time no dissatisfaction over his 

 administration of the affairs of the government was shown ; no wars in the nature of 

 rebellions arose, and this peaceful reign lasted for some considerable time; neither was 

 any family trouble seen. But Kaikilani, on the other hand, was the one who fell into 

 sin, for she took Heakekoa, the son of Kalaulipali and Uli, as her paramour without 

 the knowledge of Lonoikamakahiki. 



After a time Lonoikamakahiki formed a desire to visit Maui and to go as far as 

 Kauai ; so he took his wife Kaikilani to accompany him on this trip. When every- 

 thing pertaining to the king's journey was ready he took his canoe men and his 

 attendant, Loli. The chief desire that actuated Lonoikamakahiki to make this journey 

 was that he might show his skill in his favorite profession of hoopapa. Because of this 

 fact he took with him his calaba.sh of clothes known by the name of Kuwalawala. In 

 this calabash, besides his apparel, were several of the things which were used by him 

 in the profession of hoopapa. Besides this calabash he took along with him his feather 

 kahili, Eleeleualani." This was a very large kahili. 



After everything was made ready the king and his companions set out and went 

 as far as Maui. They did not make a very lengthy stay in Maiii and the king's visit 

 was continued to Molokai. The journey was taken to the Koolau side of the island 

 and a stop was made at Kalaupapa. In making the stop at this place Lonoikamaka- 

 hiki did not contemplate that they would remain very long, but because of the coming 

 of a very severe storm they were detained at this place for about four months. While 

 the royal party was sojourning at Kalaupapa the two whiled away most of their time 

 playing the game of konane.' 



At the time when Lonoikamakahiki and his party left on their journey of sight- 

 seeing, Heakekoa missed his lover Kaikilani so much that he was unable to remain in 

 Hawaii; therefore he followed Lonoikamakahiki and his party. In following them up 

 Heakekoa first called at Maui, and, failing to find them, he continued on to Molokai 

 and landed at Kalae, where he was informed that the royal couple were staying at 

 Kalaupapa. Heakekoa remained at Kalae for several days with the hope of securing 

 someone who would carry the news of his arrival to Kaikilani, but he was unable to 

 secure a proper person. 



One day, however, there arrived certain persons from Kalaupapa. When the 

 time came for the men to make their return to Kalaupapa, Heakekoa inquired of them: 

 "Are you people going back to Kalaupapa?" The men assented. Again Heakekoa 

 asked: "Are not the chiefs of Hawaii staying there?" The men then told him posi- 

 tively, saying: "They are still there." Heakekoa then said: "When you get to the
