The rain drove, the canoe rolled, 



The sea is raging, the moi leap. 



The inwards are retreating, the waves are being fed, 



The burden is cast away. 



They look atout in doubt for love of the children, 



They weep for the love of the wife. 



The seat is unsafe, insecure. 



The dog barks at the sea, 



It bites at the prow of the canoe. 



The old companion is become strained, 



The new companion is become separated. 



The comradeship of the priest is also parted. 



He goes alone, he shudders. 



He twists, he shivers. 



The hairs on the temple are wet, 



Ye stubborn sailors of the ocean, 



'Tis the first cold day for the king. 



Say, Keawenuiaumi, come ashore. 



Keawenuiaumi made reply: "Yes, I will come ashore for yotir very words have 

 come true. I was willing to land, bitt these fellows were so learned. I thotight they 

 were indeed learned, but I have found that they are not." Kuapakaa said: "There, you 

 have faced disaster. Come ashore at the boy's landing." The king then expressed his 

 willingness to land. Kuapakaa then said to the king: "Say, listen to me ; we will go in 

 first and when I beckon to you, you may come, because the passage way is crooked, and 

 furthermore the proper time for making a landing is past. Had you consented to make 

 land at my first invitation, we wottld have had no trouble ; for at that time the tide was 

 low and the coral exposed; but now the tide is high, so that the coral is covered deep, 

 and we will miss our bearings if we go in together." To this, Keawentiiaumi gave his 

 consent, saying: "That is well." 



Pakaa and his son therefore entered the passageway first, and when they stopped 

 they beckoned to the king's canoe as well as the others to come in. This zigzag was 

 continued itntil they were almost in, when Pakaa said to the boy: "Say, let us paddle in; 

 you nmst exert all your strength, that we may land before the others." With this the 

 two worked with all their might and made land before the others. Pakaa then jum]ied 

 ashore and ran into the house reserved for the preparation of food, thinking that in 

 this house he would be safe, for stich houses were never entered by kings. When 

 Pakaa jumped from the canoe, Lapakahoe saw and thought he recognized Pakaa by the 

 limp he made while running, for his legs had been injured; but he was not certain, 

 believing that Pakaa was in Kaula. 



Late that afternoon, all the canoes made land, inckiding the canoe of Keawe- 

 nuiaumi, who still sat on the platform and had not come ashore, for the reason that he did 

 not have any clothes, and no loin cloth, all having been wet and the spare ones had all 

 been lost at sea. When Kuapakaa saw his master sitting there naked on the canoe, he 

 returned to the house and told his father of what he had seen. When Pakaa heard 

 this, he took out a loin cloth and gave it to Kuapakaa, saying to the boy: "You take
