land to Kohala, his wife going by sea with canoes. Upon their arrival there, the canoes 

 continued on to Maui, but they dwelt in Kohala. 



At this time Kukuipaliu was the king of Kohala, who had an only daughter 

 named Kapuaokeonaona ; she was not very big, but had very pretty features to look at. 

 When Kukuipahu saw Kepakailiula, that he was handsome and manly, he took him 

 to be as his own son, brought him to his home and said: "Here is your wife," your 

 pillow' to rest on at night." 



After they had been in Kohala for about three days, on the night of this third 

 day while everybody was asleep, Kepakailiula went to a point on the seashore where 

 a canoe was lying, boarded it and set sail for Hana, Maui, where Makolea was at that 

 time living with Kakaalaneo. Upon landing, he looked and saw that Kakaalaneo was 

 drunk with awa. In his intoxicated condition he called out to Makolea: 



Makolea, Makolea, 

 Return to the house. 

 vSpread out the mat, 

 The bed clothes and pillow 

 For we shall sleep there. 



At this Makolea and the women servants proceeded to the house and after arrang- 

 ing the bed and the covering they returned. Kepakailiula then entered the house and 

 besmeared excrement on the mat. 



Soon after this Makolea and Kakaalaneo entered and sat on the besmeared mat, 

 when Kakaalaneo said: "How strange of you to spread out the mats on this place 

 knowing that it is covered with filth. Take the mats and spread them at the end of the 

 canoe, where we will retire for the night." After they had retired thither, Kepakailiula 

 who was in hiding, came out, and when Kakaalaneo was sound asleep, took Makolea in 

 the bushes and there the}' enjoyed themselves till near dawn. Kepakailiula returned to 

 Hawaii without being seen and, landing at Kohala, went home, entered the house and 

 slept by his young wife. When the king's breakfast was read}' he was called; he rose 

 and took breakfast. 



On the second night, he again repeated his visit to Hana, Maui. Upon going 

 ashore he found Kakaalaneo and Makolea asleep back of the canoes; he took his wife 

 away, while he took Kakaalaneo and stood him up on his head on a dung heap, where 

 he remained all night, being drunk with awa. They slept together till it was about 

 time for him to return, when Makoloa cried saying: 



How sad I am of your coming fate. 

 My husband is a skillful spearsman, 

 He never misses a grass blade, 

 An ant, or a flea [ukulele]. 



Kepakailiula replied: 



He has fruit, I have fruit. 



He has testes, I have testes. 



He is a male child, I am a male child. 



No one can .say who will win out, whether he, or I. 



'A better rendering woulil be "a wife for you." " Poohiun, literally "shoulder to rest on".
