THE WIND OF KAULA. 



Down by the rock of Ola, 

 The black bird begged. 

 The bird of Kaula begged. 

 Floating up there above Waahila, 

 The Ijird of Kaulanaula, 

 The younger isle, given birth by Hina. 

 The ekeeke is the wind of Kaula ; 

 Give me, give me, give nie the wind. 



In this call of Kuapakaa for the wind of Kaula, Keawcnuiaunii, said: "You 

 have indeed chanted well, boy ; but in thus calling for the wiiid, you committed a grave 

 mistake." 



Keawenniaumi then gave orders to his canoe men and sailing masters to paddle 

 ahead. The peoi)le from the rear to those in the middle of the canoe, then dipped down 

 their paddles; but those in front, did not dip theirs for Lapakahoe refused to continue 

 the voyage as he was greatly interested with the boy's chant. When the men in the 

 stern and in the middle started to paddle, Lapakahoe called out to those in front: "Kuia, 

 Lou, Ki]Hikohola, backwater with the paddles, to hold back the canoe so as not to allow 

 it to go ahead." By doing this the sound of the moving pebbles and the sand down be- 

 low was heard and the double canoe was held back as though held by an anchor. 



When Kuapakaa saw that the double canoe was being held back and saw also 

 the anger shown in the face of Keawenuiaumi, he turned and reported it to Pakaa. 

 When Pakaa heard this, he said to the boy: "Call again." (This was in the style of a 

 chant.)'" Kuapakaa therefore called forth: 



Gently! Gently! Gently! 



Hasten thi.s way, hasten that way. 



The ocean is like a wreath around your neck. 



Tlie heaven is cloudless, 



The earth is in distress. 



The month is Kalo-pau.-" 



ITp comes Icpc, down sits lepe. 



The iwa^' bird is in the sky, it is a windy day. 



The rain falls, the water runs. 



The shrimps are coming up, the sea-caves are exposed. 



Where the sea is foamy, there the moP^ dwell; 



Where the sea is rough, the mullet spawn. 



When the sea is at low tide, the squids are speared, 



The ina-^ are gathered, the i^'ana'-^ are hooked up. 



The turtles come up to breathe on a windy day. 



Where the sea is not clear, there the manini-* live ; 



Where the shoals are rocky, the uoa turn over; 



"Paha oli, chanting. "Moi, a fine fish (Polydactylus sexiilis). 



"°No month by this name now appears in the various "'Iiia and zvaiia, sea-eggs, 



calendars of the different islands. ''Maiiiiii, surgeon-fish {Tcuthis saiidzmchcnsis). 

 "hua, the man-o'-war bird {Frcgata Aqiiila).
