against the king, Hakau. Your dog has been stealing the awa which belongs to the 

 king." The guard then took the man and his dog and brought them to Hakau in the 

 valley of Waipio. When they arrived in the presence of Hakau, Hakau asked: "Is this 

 your dog?" "Yes, it is mine," answered the man. Hakau asked: "Have you been drink- 

 king my awa then?" "Yes, I have been drinking it. I thought that the awa came from 

 .some place nearer home. But I am mistaken, and that he has been getting it from Waipio, 

 here." Hakau replied: "Yes, I am going to kill both of you for taking my awa." 



During this time, in the reign of Hakau, there was a large shell used as a trumpet, 

 called Kuana, that was owned by the spirits which lived above Waipio. This shell 

 was blown every night and the sound from it made Hakau angry. So he said to the 

 master of Pupualenalena: "I will, however, save you and your dog if you will get me 

 the shell owned by the spirits." While Hakau was speaking, Pupualenalena heard 

 and understood the king's wish. That night the shell was again blown by the spirits. 

 At midnight the king of the spirits retired leaving the guards to keep watch; but later 

 on they also fell asleep. Pupualenalena then stole in and jumped over the sleeping 

 guards. Seeing the shell hanging over the king, it jumped over him, took the shell, 

 stuck his head in through the loop of the string by which it was hung up and ran off 

 with it. While in its flight and just as he was out of the house one side of the shell 

 struck a rock and a piece of the shell was broken off. Upon hearing the crack of the 

 shell the spirits woke up and gave chase, but they were unable to catch the dog. 



When the dog arrived in the presence of Hakau with the shell, he was so happy 

 that he thereupon placed the master and his dog on a piece of land near by, and they 

 became great favorites with Hakau. 



Legend of Kaulanapokii. 



KAUMALUMALU was the father and Lanihau was the mother who once lived in 

 Holualoa, Kona, Hawaii, residing there as king and queen at that time. Mumu 

 was their first-born, then came Wawa, then Ahewahewa, then Lulukaina and 

 then Kalino making five sons. Then came Rlailelaulii, Mailekaluhea, Mailepakaha, 

 Mailehaiwale and last came Kaulanapokii making five daughters. After the children 

 were grown up, Mailelaulii asked her 3'ounger sisters, saying: "Let us go sight seeing' 

 hereabouts." They then started out and went as far as Huehue from which point 

 Kohala can be seen. On beholding the white sands of Kiholo and Kapalaoa they were 

 enticed to go on. When thej' arrived at Kapalaoa they thought they would keep on to 

 Kalahuipuaa. Upon arriving at Kalahuipuaa they met Puako. 



Puako was a very handsome man whose form was perfect. When he saw Maile- 

 laulii he took her to be his wife and that night they were covered with the same kapa. 

 Very early the next morning the girls looked and saw Puako carrying sea water and 

 filling pools for salt making. Upon seeing this the sisters got disgusted and said to 

 Mailelaulii: "Say, if that is going to be your husband we will all be made weary carry-
