keep 3'our eyes away from him." After Niheu had given these instructions to Haka- 

 lauileo, Hakalanileo turned and went to meet Kana. When Hakalanileo came to 

 where Kana was living, Kana turned and looked at him and the sight of Kana was so 

 terrible that he turned and attempted to run awa}^ ; but Kana called out to him, saying: 

 "What do you want?" Hakalanileo replied: "I have come to tell you that the mother 

 of you two has been taken away b}' Kapepeekauila, the chief of the hill of Haupu. 

 She is now- at Molokai." 



When Kana heard this, he said to Hakalanileo: "Go and issue a call that the 

 people come together throughout Hawaii, and instruct the men to go and hew oat 

 canoes, by which we will get to Molokai, and get back your wife." With this, the 

 canoe hewers all around Hawaii came together and a large doiible canoe of ten 

 [fathoms] in length was hewed out and made ready, whereupon Hakalanileo went for 

 Kana to voyage to Molokai. When Kana came to the double canoe he stretched out 

 his hands and placed them on the canoe and the canoe sunk out of sight; Kana did 

 not even attempt to board the canoe. Because of this, Kana said to Hakalanileo: "Go 

 and hew out another double canoe." Again the people of Hawaii went up and hewed 

 out another double canoe; but the hands of Kana alone were too much for the canoe, 

 for it too sunk out of sight, thus leaving them without a canoe to get to Molokai in. 

 Therefore, Hakalanileo went to the presence of Niheu and reported the matter to him. 

 When Niheu heard this, he said: "You go to Uli and ask for a canoe; she has the canoe 

 that will take you to Alolokai, and she will direct 3-ou what to do." 



When Hakalanileo came in the presence of Uli, she asked him: "What is it 3'ou 

 want?" Hakalanileo replied: "I have come for a canoe for Kana by which he may 

 be able to get to Molokai to fight Kapepeekauila, the chief that lives on the Haupu 

 hill." Uli made reply : "Yes, there is a canoe, it is in Paliuli ; ' but j-ou must, however, 

 go and call all the people together to go and drag down the canoes." Hakalanileo did 

 so and collected eight times fortj- men, and the}' proceeded to the uplands of Paliuli, 

 where Uli prayed for a double canoe for Kana.
