that Kapaihiahilina's composition was founded on facts. Lonoikamakahiki then 

 ordered the doors of his royal abode to be opened to allow Kapaihiahilina to enter the 

 house. On opening the door of the royal mansion, however, Kapaihiahilina was then 

 outside of Laaloa sailing away. 



Lonoikamakahiki observing that Kapaihiahilina had sailed away, sent messen- 

 gers to get him to return. The messengers, in conformity with the king's desire, set 

 forth and upon reaching Kapaihiahilina said to him: "We come for you to return; we 

 were sent to beseech you to come back ; the king is overwhelmed with love for you and 

 your appeal for compassion by the chant describing your wanderings ; when we left 

 the king was still weeping." 



Kapaihiahilina hearing what was said, replied to the messengers : "You both 

 return to the king. Give him my love and say, I cannot go back, because he has 

 barkened to the slanderers who surround him. They may be the ones who accompa- 

 nied him and ate the ripe flowers of the pandanus of Pooku and girded together the ti 

 leaves as well as the ferns. Therefore I am now homeward bound to bury my bones on 

 Kauai's shore. If I should die it would be of no moment to him, but should it be he 

 who shall pass away, my companion of many perils, I will weep for him alone at 

 Kauai. Both of you go back." When Kapaihiahilina finished what he had to say to 

 the messengers, they went back, met the king and reported all that Kapaihiahilina 

 had said. 



In consequence of the statements made by the messengers Lonoikamakahiki 

 became very much aggrieved. He immediately ordered his two canoe paddlers, Kapahi 

 and Moanaikaiaiwa, also Kapuniaiakamau and the adopted child of Kamahualele to pre- 

 pare themselves for the voyage. Prior to Lonoikamakahiki's sailing he commanded 

 Kaikilani, Kealiiokalani, Kalanioumi and Keakealani thus: "I am about to go; stay 

 on the land ; let each of you care for each other and be not envious of one another. If 

 I go and my companion barkens to me, then we will return ; but should he listen not, 

 then I will follow him, and by being persistent in my search he may relent, for anger 

 only inflames and reaches the tips of the ears." 



Lonoikamakahiki having ceased his admonitions went aboard the canoes which 

 awaited him and sailed away. In his search he met Kapaihiahilina at Anaehoomalu 

 at the seashore at the dividing line of Kona and Kohala. Thus runs the tradition con- 

 cerning Lonoikamakahiki's search for his companion Kapaihiahilina : 



When Lonoikamakahiki set sail on his search for his friend, Kapaihiahilina had 

 already arrived at Anaehoomalu and soon afterwards was followed by Lonoikamaka- 

 hiki and others. Lonoikamakahiki saw Kapaihiahilina sitting on the sand beach when 

 the canoes were being hauled ashore. Lonoikamakahiki immediately began to wail 

 and also described their previous wanderings together. Kapaihiahilina recognizing 

 the king also commenced wailing. When they came together and had ceased weeping 

 and conversing, then Lonoikamakahiki made a covenant between them, that there 

 would be no more strife, nor would he barken to the voice of slander which surrounds 

 him, and in order that the understanding between them should be made binding, Lono-
