in a short time they arrived at Waialae. Kawelo then took up two uhns," one for 

 Kamalama and one for his wife, Kanewahineikiaoha, and he came on home to Wai- 

 kiki. Upon his arrival, he entered the Apuakehau stream and had a bath. After his 

 bath, he returned to the house and then called out to his chief steward, Puikikaulehua, 

 for food and meat. The chief steward then brought forty calabashes of poi and forty 

 small packages of baked pork and placed them before Kawelo, who then began his 

 meal. But these were not sufficient, and he again called for some more. The chief 

 steward again brought the same quantity as before,'" which amount satisfied his hunger. 

 As the sun was nearing the horizon, Kawelo would then call to his wife, 

 Kanewahineikiaoha, as follows: 



Say, Kanewahineikiaoha, 



Bring the mat of Halahola 



And the pillow of Kaukekeha, 



And the kapa of Maakuiaikalani 



And let us look at the small pointed clouds^" of the land ; 



For the small pointed clouds, Kamalama, denote oppression. 



For I feel the cold anticipation of coming danger entering within me. 



Consumed, for Kauai is consumed by fire ! 



Consumed, for llaupu is consumed by fire! 



Consumed, for Kalanipuu is consumed by fire ! 



Consumed, for Kalalea is consumed by fire ! 



Consumed, for Kahiki is consumed by fire ! 



Consumed, for the eel has ceased moving, being consumed by the fire ! 



For love has brought the fond remembrance 



Of Maihuna, parent of Kawelo ; 



Possibly my parents are dead. 



Kanewahineikiaoha then replied to Kawelo: "How quickly you have gone to 

 Kauai and back again, Kawelo, and seen that your parents are dead!" Kawelo then 

 made reply by chanting: 



If your parents were dead instead. 



You would weep for love of them, 



And the water would run from your nose. 



But alas, it is my parents that are dead — 



The parents of Kawelo. 



Kawelo slept that night until daylight, when he again set out for Waialae to 

 his instructor in the art of fishing, Maakuakeke, and they again set out on a fishing 

 cruise. 



On this trip they went as far as the Kaena point, at Waianae. Upon arriving 

 at this fishing ground, they immediately began fishing; and in a short time Kawelo 

 got so busy pulling up the uhu that they were overtaken by a rain and wind-storm. 

 When Maakuakeke saw the storm, he urged upon Kawelo to return, for he knew 



"Uhu, the parrot-fish. '"Seeking auguries of future events. 



"A generous appetite requiring eighty calabashes 

 of poi and a like amount of pork to a meal.
