The sun has risen, it is up. 



Bring along our hooks 



Together with the fishing kit 



As well as our net. 



Say, Maakuakeke, 



The rattling paddles. 



The rattling top covering, 



The rattling bailing cup, wake up, it is daylight. 



^^'hile Kawelo was chanting, Maakuakeke's wife heard it, so she woke her 

 husband up saying: "Wake up, I never heard your grandparents chant your name 

 so pleasingly as has Kawelo this morning. No, not even your parents. This is the 

 first time that I have heard such a pleasing chant." Maakuakeke then woke up, 

 made ready everything called out by Kawelo in the chant, went out, boarded the 

 canoe and they set out. As they were going along, Maakuakeke called out to Kawelo 

 in a chant as follows : 



Say, Kawelo-lei-makua, stop. 



Say, offspring of the cliffs of Puna, 



The eyes of Haloa are above. 



My lord, my chiefly fisherman of Kauai. 



"Yes, yes,"" replied Kawelo. 



Maakuakeke then said to Kawelo: "Here is the place that we used to fish; and 

 \vhen the fish were caught we went shoreward, together with the wife and the child." 

 Kawelo replied: "This is not the fishing ground. The place for fish is at the cape of 

 Kaena." Kawelo also told Maakuakeke to sit securely in the canoe, lest' he might be 

 pitched over. With one stroke of the paddle by Kawelo, they passed outside of 

 Mamala;'" with the second stroke they were at Puuloa;" and on the third stroke they 

 arrived at Waianae. When they arrived ofit' Waianae, Kawelo picked up the kiikui 

 nttts,'" chewed them and then blew it on the sea to calm it, so that the bottom could 

 be seen, as they were fishing for the nhu. They fished from shallow to deep water 

 and caught a number of fishes. On this going out into deep water, Maakuakeke 

 knew that they would come to the place of Uhimiakaikai*' fa marvelous fish); there- 

 fore Maakuakeke said to Kawelo in chant, as follows : 



O Kaweloleimakua, hearken ! 



C) offspring of the cliff's of Puna! 



The eyes of Haloa are above. 



My lord, my chiefly fisherman of I\auai. 



"I am here, yes, I am here," responded Kawelo. 



Maakuakeke then said: "Let us return, it is late." They then returned and 



°"Io-c," Yes, in response. "This is the name of Puniakaia's pet uhu that came 



"Mamala, the channel entrance of Honohilu harbor to his rescue, but it is also that of Kauai's evil shark, 



"Puuloa. Pearl Harbor. "^ Ash-god, that swamps canoes. 



'"The oily nature of these nuts used in this way niadc 

 them very effective.
