At the close of the chant, Kamalalawalu was removed by force by the officers of 

 Kikekaala to some other place. As she was being led away she chanted these lines : 



The wind is blowing, it is the Koolauwahine. 



You will surely see Haili, 



Haili the plain of lehua entwined by the birds ; 



They are carrying away the awa of Puna that grow on trees, 



The sweet sounding 00''^ of the forest, 



Whose sweet notes can be heard at eventide. 



My companion of the cold, watery home of Hilo, 



That cold wet home where you and I Hved, 



O my own beloved husband !*" 



At the end of this chant by Ivamalalawalu, Kikekaala said to her: "You have no 

 husband because you are a woman who has deserted her husband. I see that you have 

 come back to him, but he will not go back to you." 



CHAPTER V. 



Halemano Returns to Oahu, Thence to Kauai. — Kamalalawalu Follows Him. 

 — She Leaves and Settles on Oahu. — Huaa and the King of Hilo Send an 

 Army to Secure Her. — After a Slaughter of Oahu Forces She Is Taken to 

 Hawaii. 



After this, Halemano lived with Kikekaala as husband and wife. She held him 

 very closely by day and by night, and followed him wherever he went, therefore he be- 

 came weary and greatly vexed at her for keeping him shut up in the house continu- 

 ously. Because of this Halemano one day said to Kikekaala: "Say, I hear that aku has 

 become plentiful at the Makaiula fishing grounds in Kaelehuluhulu. You must there- 

 fore allow me to go and catch us some." Kikekaala said: "We must go together." 

 Halemano said : "It will only delay me. You must stay home. I will go alone and shall 

 return in no time." The wife at last consented and Halemano set out. 



On this trip Halemano set out from Puaawela in Kohala; but instead of going 

 fishing, he set out for Mokulau in Maui,^^ where he landed. Kamalalawalu, on the 

 other hand, set out soon after Halemano from Kohala, and landed at Hamoa, in Hana, 

 Maui, and from that place continued on her way along the Koolau side of Maui. Hale- 

 mano continued his journey along the west side of Maui, next landing at Lahaina. 



In this journey made by the two, many people followed them from place to place, 

 because they admired their comeliness. Kamalalawalu followed Halemano** because she 

 found that she loved him and wished to be taken back. In this journey, Halemano next
