wonderful!" The daughter said: "Nothing is hidden from the all powerful god of 

 my husband, Kalanikilo. He has heard." The father then again asked : "What other 

 reason is there that has brought my daughter here in the dark with the ghosts of 

 the midnight?" The daughter replied: "I have come for the bow and a few arrows 

 used for rat shooting for myself and husband, for we are going to Kauai to fight 

 Aikanaka." On hearing this Kalonaikahailaau chanted as follows: 



What a mistake iny daughter has made 



In marrying a man who shoots rats. 



He shoots the rats and then gets the food belonging to others, 



Then gives it to me his father-in-law. 



He shoots the rats and gets the food belonging to others. 



Then gives it to you the wife to eat. 



He shoots the rats and gets the food belonging to others. 



For Kamalama the favorite younger brother. 



He shoots the rats and gets the food belonging to others, 



For Kakuhihewa the owner of the land on which he lives. 



The daughter again replied: "All of what you have just said is heard by my hus-

And bakes it. 



W'hat a mistake to have a hewer of canoes as a husband. 



When the father concluded with his chant, Kanewahineikiaoha said: "All of 

 what you have just said is heard by my husband, there is nothing hid from him." 

 The father said: "The only way that will make him know is for some one to be 

 standing there outside listening, who will carry it to him." When the father of 

 Kanewahineikiaoha said this, Kamalama heard it, and he ran off to hide himself. As

At dawn the next morning, Kamalama returned home, and, when he reached 

 the top of Nuuanu pali, he looked down and saw Kanewahineikiaoha, her father, her
