Earl)' the next day, they saw the top of the Kaala mountain, and they felt assured of 

 their arrival in Oahu. That morning, before the heat of the sun could be felt, they 

 landed at Waikiki. Upon their arrival, they met Kamalama and asked for Kawelo. 

 Kamalama replied: "He has gone out fishing and has been away all of yesterday 

 and all of last night and has not yet returned." The messengers then said to 

 Kamalama: "We have come for him, for his parents are about to die from starva- 

 tion, their only food being head lice and nits, for Aikanaka has taken away all 

 their lands in Hanamaulu, all the food and the fish and they are without anything. 

 We have therefore come for Kawelo to go to Kauai." Kamalama then sent two 

 certain men, Kalohipikonui and Kalohipikoikipuwaawaa, to go for Kawelo. These two 

 were very loud-voiced men; if they called from Waikiki, they could be heard at Ewa; 

 and if they called from Ewa, they could be heard at Waianae. It was because of 

 this that these two men were sent by Kamalama to go for Kawelo. Before they 

 started out, Kamalama instructed them saying: "You two must remember the 

 names of these two men from Kauai, so that in case Kawelo should ask you who 

 they are you would be able to tell him their names. When you see Kawelo, keep 

 at some distance away from him and then inform him of vour errand; don't on any 

 account get near him." 



When the two men started out, their canoe was overturned, and, in righting 

 their canoe and in bailing and paddling it, they forgot the names of the two men 

 from Kauai. When they at last saw Kawelo, they called out: "Say, Kawelo, your 

 uncles have arrived from Kauai." Kawelo asked: "Who are they?" They replied: 

 "We were told their names, but on our way we were overturned and in righting our 

 canoe, and, in the bailing and paddling of it, we forgot their names. But you know 

 they are your uncles, and }'ou can think for yourself who they are, for we are 

 going back." At this Kawelo answered by a chant as follows: 



Hikiula is however sailing off, 



With Hikikea, as the canoe sails on its way. 



The Ohiki'" digs its own hole, 



The aama^" runs on the dry land, 



The paiea^' lives in the cracks, 



The lobster lives in a large hole. 



The eel plays on the waves, 



The opule-- fish go in schools on a cloudy day. 



The teeth of the halahala-^ fish show like a cross dog. 



I now fondly remember of Auau, of Apehe, 



My companions of Ulalena ; 



For my breast is beating, ye two, 



As I remember of our childhood days. 



O, how close we were in those days !
