Lci^cud of Pimiakaia. i6i 



Ma keia hooijaapaa o lakou, lr)he aku la ke kane a ka wahine a ia nei, olelo mai 

 hi ia: "Pili ia aku." Alaika, ))ili ilio ki lakou, olelo aku o Puniakaia: "E, aole e pili ana 

 ko'u man iwi i na waiwai laiiuwalc, cia wale no, he niau ahupuaa ininui eha, hookahi o 

 kuu kua, hookahi o kuu alo, elua o na aoao." Hooholo iho la lakou, he uniikumama- 

 linia la, ina i ike ole ia ka ia i loko o ia man la, alalia, eo o Puniakaia, ina hoi i ikeia, 

 alalia, eo lakou la. 



Ma keia noho ana o Puniakaia, a hala he uniikunianiakahi la, eha la i koe, alalia 

 eo. Ia wa, e niakaukau ana kekahi waa e holo i Oahu nei, no W'aianae kekahi mau niea, 

 a no Kauniakai)ili kekahi. Olelo aku o Puniakaia: "E holo oukou a hiki i Waianae, a 

 noho iho ko Waianae mau niea, hoi aku olua a hiki i Kauniaka])ili, pii aku olua a hiki 

 i Nuuanu, nana aku olua i kai o Kaneohe, e haniania niai ana ka puka n kuu hale, hele

 ke keiki a olua ia maua, o Puniakaia ka inoa, 'e hele oe a kahea i ka ia ana ia Uhuma- 

 kaikai, e kolo aku i ka ia a hiki i Kauai, no ka mea, ekolu la i koe o ka jjili ana, alalia, 

 ]iau na la he imiikumamalima, a i hiki ole ka ia i loko o ia mau la, alalia, make o Pimia- 

 kaia i loko o ka umu." " 



A pau ka olelo ana a Puniakaia, holo mai la ka waa o ua poe nei ia la, a ahiahi 

 pae i Kou, ma keia holo ana, o Keaumiki a me Keauka, na hoa o Puniakaia kekahi i 

 kokua i ka waa, ma keia holo ana mai, o ia ke kumu i pae koke ai i Oahu nei. A ko 

 Waianae mau mea hoi, haalele laua i ka manao i ko laua aina, no ka mea, ua oi ko laua 

 manao i ka i'uniakaia olelo, a me ka makemake i kona kino, ]iQh\ lakou a eha. 



A pat lakou ma Kou, haalele i ka waa malaila, a ]ni aku la a hiki i Nuuanu, nana 

 aku la i kai o Kaneohe, e hamama mai ana ka waha o ka hale o Puniakaia. Iho aku 

 la lakou a hala o Kekele maho])e, a hiki i Kaneohe hiki aku la lakou a ka hale, e noho 

 mai ana o Halekou ka makuahine o Puniakaia, i luna o ka hua moena. 



Aloha aku la lakou, aloha mai la o Halekou. Xinau mai la o Plalekou: "Heaha 

 ka oukou o ka hiki ana mai?" I mai la lakou: "He kauoha na ko keiki, o Puniakaia 

 ka inoa, oia ko makou mea i hele mai la e olelo aku ia oe." A lohe o Halekou, uwe iho 

 la ia a me na "lii a ])au loa, na makaainana, a olelo mai la: "Ka, Ua manao makou ua 

 make o Puniakaia, aole ka! A heaha kana olelo ia oukou?" "Eia kana olelo ia makou, 

 e hele mai makou a olelo ia oe, e hele oe e kahea i ka ia ana, ia Uhumakaikai. e kolo aku 

 i ka ia a hiki i Kauai. Xo ka mea, ua pili o Puniakaia me ke 'lii o Kauai, he umikuma- 

 malima la, ina ike ole ia ka ia maloko o ia mau la, make o Puniakaia, ina i ikeia ola 

 o Puniakaia; nolaila, o ka umikumamalua keia o ka la, ekolu la i koe make o Puniakaia." 

 A lohe o Halekou i keia olelo, i mai la ia: "Aole paha auanei e lohe ka ia ana ia'u, ia ia 

 wale no paha e lohe ai; aka, e hele aku au e hoao." 



Plaawi aku la o Halekou i ua poe nei, hookahi ahupuaa, hookahi hale kapa, hoo- 

 kahi hale ai, hookahi hale ia, hookahi hale moe, a loaa keia mau mea ia lakou, noho loa
