After the recital of the above prayer b}' Uli, she gave orders to dig down into 

 the ground. The men then began to dig without any interest thinking there was no 

 truth in the words of Uli. While the people were digging the}- came, first upon the 

 sticks at the bow and stern of the canoe, the points that first came to their view, and 

 when the body of the double canoe and all the parts were exposed, Uli gave orders that 

 the people may return, for the}- were shivering with the cold, from the rain and thunder 

 which had continued all through the time occupied in the digging, so that they were 



exhausted. 



After the people had all returned, the double canoe, Kaumaielieli, was then lifted 

 b}' the gods and carried down and placed in the sea ; and from this point it was taken 

 to Kaipalaoa," directly below Wailuku and Piihonua, where Kana was living. 



THE DREAM OF MOI ' THE PRIEST. 



While Kana and Nilieu were making their preparations to sail on the double 

 canoe, Kaumaielieli, to do battle with Kapepeekauila, the chief on the top of Haupu 

 hill, Moi dreamed a dream. This dream was before the start was made by Kana for 

 Molokai. Moi was the priest to the chief Kapepeekauila on the top of Haupu hill. 

 He was a very great priest, learned in his profession and was all powerful ; his predic- 

 tions always coming true, whether in the interpretation of dreams or in the foretelling 

 of coming events. In the night of Kane," he dreamed a dream, which was this: 



THE DREAM. 



A long man, a short man; 

 A stunted joutli, a male god. 

 The eyes touched the heaven, 

 The earlh was overshadowed. 

 Say Kamauhili, Ku is routed. 

 Such is my dream, the priest. 



At daylight the next day, Moi said to the chief, Kapepeekauila: "Say, I had a 

 dream last night." The chief said: "Tell me what it is." Moi then told him of the 

 dream as related above. After telling the dream, Moi gave an interpretation of its 

 meaning, but the chief would not believe it. Seeing this, Moi prophesied to the chief 

 and people, sa^-ing: "If j-ou are not going to take heed to \\\y warning, the priest, you 

 will surely be dispossessed. If it is a w^oman that is unbelieving, she shall make a 

 poor marriage, a woman is she of Kupukupu^ she will be hooked up b}' the bill of the 

 duck and left on the height of Halihuki. I saw a long man, and it was b}- him that 

 the borders of Haupu were broken and the hill fell to pieces into the sea ; therefore 

 depart now while death is yet at a distance." 



Kapepeekauila refused to take heed of this warning, saj-ing: "You are the one 

 I shall cause to die, you deceiving priest. IM3' hill of Haupu shall never be conquered. 

 However, let it stand; if my hill is not conquered in the coming fight, I will kill you." 



'On the Kilo side of the Wailuku stream. 'The night of Kane was the twenty-seventh of the 



= The temple of this priest was that of Mdiiiniaiaki, lunar month, 



at Honokaupu, Pckunu. Moi is said to have preser\-ed ' KupHkitpu, a vegetable plant of small moment, 



the ancient form of temple structure of Wakea's time, 

 which held until Paao's system prevailed.
