Kana had to go ;ip to the highest heaven, in the deep blue sky and his body was in the 

 form of a spider's webb, for he was in great need of food and meat. 



When Niheu saw that the legs of Kana were thin and in the form of a spider's 

 webb, he felt that it was because he was starving; so he called out in a loud voice to 

 Kana: "Lie toward Kona, to Uli our grandmother, where you will be able to get food 

 and meat." Niheu had to repeat this call for three days before Kana heard him. 

 When Kana heard the call of Niheu, he bent himself over across Molokai, over the top 

 of Haleakala, over the mountain whereby a groove was formed across Haleakala which 

 can be seen to this day. 



When Kana reached Kona and the home of Uli his grandmother, he laid down 

 by the doorway until Uli awoke in the morning, and when she came out she saw Kana, 

 her grandson. She then woke him up and began feeding him. When Kana was satis- 

 fied, the increase of his body began to come down until it reached his feet which were 

 in the canoe, where Niheu was still waiting. When Niheu looked and saw that the 

 legs were increasing he arose and cut off one, for he was angry with Kana for eating 

 till satisfied. The numbness from this cut went up until it reached the head of Kana, 

 and upon informing his grandmother of this fact, Uli said: "Your younger brother 

 Niheu got angry with you because you partook of food [without remembering him], 

 so he has cut off one of your legs." After this Uli said to Kana : "You have conquered 

 over your opponent. When you rise up you must extend upward until you tower above 

 the Haupu hill, then make eyes at the hill and when it extends up to meet you, you 

 reach down and break off the flippers on the right side ; then break off the flippers on 

 the left side; then it will have no more strength." After these instructions had been 

 imparted, Kana arose and stood upright until he towered over Haupu, when he made 

 eyes at the hill. At seeing this Haupu extended upward to meet Kana; Kana then 

 reached down and broke off the flippers. As soon as the flippers were broken, the 

 power of Haupu ceased. Kana then stepped down on the hill and it fell to pieces, and as 

 the pieces fell into the sea, they were left there in the form of small hills,' which can 

 be seen to this day, at the mouth of the Waikolu Valle}-, overgrown with loulou palms. 



By the death of Haupu," the chief Kapepeekauila was conquered and Hina was 

 recovered; and she was brought back to live with her first husband Hakalanileo. This 

 ended the war between Kana and the Haupu hill.
