to Kaelia: "You must find j^our own food ' after tliis as 3'ou have eaten all of ours." So 

 Kaeha was forced to go about from place to place looking for food. When Kaulu saw 

 Kaeha going from place to place he knew what he wanted so he took Kaeha with him 

 and flew to Manowaikeoo, a land owned by Kane and Kanaloa, where all the food be- 

 longing to the spirits was raised. The place was guarded by four men, Uweliki, Uwe- 

 leka, Maalaka and Maalaki. These men watched in pairs. In the watch of Maalaka 

 and Maalaki Kaulu and Kaeha were seen so thej' turned the face of the land downward 

 causing a deep depression in the land whereby Kaulu and Kaeha fell off the land into 

 space. When Kaulu saw that they were in trouble he called out: 



Saj-, Kaulu, turn down; 

 Say, Kaulu, stretch out;^ 

 Say, Kaulu, double up. 

 [There are] four single ones 

 [And] four double ones. 



Through the reaching powers of Kaulu they were able once more to land when 

 Kaulu grabbed Maalaka and Maalaki, sajnng: "I am going to kill you two." They 

 answered: "If we die there will be no guards fit to watch the land." This, Kaulu ac- 

 knowledged. Kaulu and Kaeha then continued on their way until they found Uweleki 

 and Uweleka on the other side of the land, who asked: "What do you two want?" Kaulu 

 replied: "All the good things to eat." The guards thinking that Kaiilu could in no 

 way take all the good things as he was a very small fellow, allowed Kaiilu to have all 

 he wanted. At this Kaulu took all he coiild find and eat up all the things he could lay 

 his hands on: the food, the fish, the pork, the chickens, all the things that were grow- 

 ing and all that had been planted; Kaulu took everything that could be found and then 

 flew up and hid the rays of the sun causing darkness. At this the guards begged of 

 Kaulu to give them back some of the food as seed for propagation, so he gave them 

 one taro top, one potato leaf, one hog, one chicken and so on to the end of the good 

 things, so Kaulu and Kaeha returned to Kane and Kanaloa. 



After tasting the different things, Kane and Kanaloa were sure the things tasted 

 just like the good things of of Manowaikeoo. Upon making this discovery Kane and 

 Kanaloa sent Kolea and his mate to fly and inquire of Makalii^ where these good things 

 had come from. Upon their arrival, Makalii told them that these good things were 

 from Manowaikeoo which place had been invaded by Kaulu. On their arrival in the 

 presence of Kane and Kanaloa, they reported what they had heard from Makalii. Upon 

 hearing the report all the spirits got angry with Kauhi and Kaeha, so all the spirits 

 began to tempt Kaeha and urged him to go surf-riding. When they arrived at the 

 place where the surf was breaking, the spirits called for all the sharks to come together 

 and take Kaeha and carr}' him to their king, Kukaniauluuuiakea. This was a very 

 large shark, his length and breadth were unknown. When his mouth was opened the 

 top jaw would reach to heaven while the bottom jaw would be in the bottom of the sea; its 

 body was entirely covered over with coral. As Kaeha came in the presence of the shark, 

 he was swallowed whole. Kaulu at this time was not on his guard which was the reason
