Keolewa is there directly ahead of the canoe, 

 Keolewa is there directly ahead of the canoe. 



At this the uncles from Kauai, Kaweloikiakoo and his companion remarked : 

 "You are deceiving us, Kawelo. ^'our parents and we two have traveled this ocean 

 from evening till morn and noon, and Keolewa can only be seen as a bird in the sky." 

 Soon after this the dawn began to break, and Keolewa was then ])lainly seen by 

 them all to windward, while the hill of Kalanipuu was also seen as though wading in 

 the sea to meet them. \\'hen Kawelo's uncles saw these different objects, they saw 

 that Kawelo was right after all. At this time, they were directly off of Hanamaulu, 

 so the two uncles said to Kawelo in a chant as follows : 



Say, Kaweloleimakna. 



Let us land, let us land. 



Say, oiTspring from the cliffs of Puna, 



The eyes of Haloa are looking from above, 



My lord, my chief. 



"Yes, what is it?" The uncles then said to Kawelo: "Let us land here, see 

 your parents, your older brothers, cook some food and then proceed on to battle." 

 Kawelo then chanted a reply as follows : 



Say, little Kanialama, my younger brother, 

 Point the bow of the canoe towards Wailua, 

 Yes, towards Wailua. 



When Kanialama heard the orders of Kawelo, he pointed the bow of the 

 canoes toward Wailua. They then continued on to Wailua and anchored just below 

 the village. Kawelo then chanted these lines regarding Kanialama: 



Say, little Kamalama, my younger brother. 



Sit up on your heels, 



Gird on your loin cloth 



And partake of food and meat. 



When Kamalama heard these words from Kawelo, he ordered those on the 

 canoe to eat; so they all partook of food until they were satisfied. 



While they were lying off Wailua, the people on the top of the Nounou hill 

 saw them, so the people roused up Aikanaka and told him of the coming of a large 

 double canoe. When Aikanaka saw the canoe, he immediately sent Kaehuikiawakea, 

 his best runner, with the orders: "You go on down and inspect that double canoe. 

 If it is a war canoe, let them come ashore and thev can meet Kuahulu and Onioni- 

 kaua, my chief officers, and they can make war on them. But if the people on the 

 canoe are on a journey to see the land, let them come ashore, where they can meet 

 Kuahulu and Onionikaua, who have food and meat, wearing kapas, loin cloths and 

 house to stop in."
