pedition of kin^^s is ever alert. Very late that evening, when it was almost midnight, 

 Kuapakaa called out in a chant, as follows: 



Arise ! Arise ! Arise ! 



The night is spent, the night is spent. 



All tiredness, soreness and weariness have vanished ; 



Also darkness that prevents the sailing of canoes. 



Arise ! Arise ! Arise ! 



Hikiliimakaonnulan" is up, 



The star at the end of the land. 



Arise, make a move! Arise, make a move! 



Upon hearing this, the chiefs said: "How^ strange! it is not yet anywheres near 

 daylight, but the boy is calling us to sail off. This is only in the early evening."
