Legend of Kahalaopuna. 



MANOA in Oahu is the land in which Kahalaopuna was born; and Kahoiwai is 

 the place on which the house stood. Kauakuahine^ was the father and Ka- 

 hoiamano was the mother. Kahalaopuna was a young and beautiful girl, a 

 virgin; she was good to look upon and was a favorite with her people. Some time be- 

 fore, her parents had promised her to Kauhi, a man of note who was at this time living 

 with Kakuhihewa. the king of Oahu. Kauhi belonged to Koolau and he lived at a 

 place called Alele. 



When Kauhi heard that the parents of Kahalaopuna had given their consent to 

 their engagement, he began to collect and to send her all manner of good things. After 

 the lapse of certain ten-day periods (analndu) he, however, found something against 

 her, and it came about in this way. Some people who were desirous of seeing 

 Kahalaopuna put to death, while on their way from Manoa to Koolau, upon meeting 

 Kauhi made up a slanderous story" against her in the following manner: "How 

 strange indeed was the behavior of your intended wife, Kahalaopuna ! She went danc- 

 ing two nights now, and on each night had a separate lover." When Kauhi heard 

 this from these men, he said to himself: "I shall indeed kill her for she has taken all the 

 good things from my lord which I gave her. She has now gone and defiled herself." 



Kauhi then came up to Manoa and found Kahalaopuna, and asked her to go with 

 him to Pohakea, a place above Ewa lying close to the Kaala mountain. While on their 

 way, she meditated within herself as to the probable cause of this journey. In going they 

 took the u])per road where people seldom passed, passing along Pauoa'' and Waolani,* 

 then along upper Kalihi and so on to Manana," where they spent the night. In all this 

 traveling the hands of Kahalaopuna were bound with a cord by Kauhi and consequently 

 her skirt (pa-u) became unfastened and trailed on behind, she being unable to fasten 

 it properly as her hands were bound. 



On the next day they resumed their way until they came to Pohakea," then on
