and it was by him that T was educated in all the things pertaining to the office of a 

 king's personal servant." 



Upon hearing this re\-elation from Kuapakaa, Keawenuiaunii wished to know 

 clearly [of his favorite servant], so he asked a few more questions. Kuapakaa then 

 went more into the details, saying: "After you people returned from the Kalaau ix)int, 

 and we all went ashore, it was your own loin cloth that 1 ga\'e you; the kapa was your 

 own ; the piece of awa was your own, but Pakaa had instructed me to tell you that the 

 things were mine in order that his identity be not discovered." 



When Keawenuiaumi heard these things from Kuapakaa, he raised his voice and 

 wept for Pakaa and the boy Kuapakaa. When his weeping was ended he ordered one 

 of his chiefs, that the men who were beaten by the boy be put to death. 



After the death of these men, Keawenuiaumi ordered Kuapakaa to go immedi- 

 ately, as fast as possible, and bring Pakaa to him. With this order, Kuapakaa boarded 

 his racing canoe and set out that early morning. When the sun was high u]) in the 

 heaven, the boy entered the landing place at Molokai and moored his canoe; after this 

 was done he went after Pakaa. 



When he reached their home, the boy greeted his father and after the exchange 

 of the greetings, I'akaa inquired: "Are my opponents dead?" "Yes. After we had 

 sailed off and while outside of Waimea, Kauai, I uncovered Laamaomao and immedi- 

 ately we were encompassed by a great and terrible storm. In the midst of this storm, I 

 gave out the palm leaves to the men, all with the exception of Hookeleihilo and Hoo- 

 keleipuna. The food also was not given them, nor the meat and water; and being ex- 

 hausted, the two died. We then left Kauai and set sail for Hawaii while all the peo- 

 ple were asleep, and after a time we landed at Kawaihae, where I was neglected by my 

 master and his men. Some time shortly after this I got into a race with some of the 

 king's men whom I defeated and they were put to death. After the men were put to 

 death I told the king of you and me, and he sent me to bring you; therefore, I have 

 come for you to go back with me." At this Pakaa asked: "What has your master 

 given you?" "Nothing." "Then go back and tell your master that Pakaa has sent word 

 that until the king has restored all the lands taken back by him, as well as all the other 

 things, I will not come back.'' Restore these things and I will come." 



At the close of this conversation, between the boy and the father, the boy set out 

 for Mawaii and in time delivered the message to Keawenuiaumi. \A'hen the king heard 

 the conditions proposed by his servant Pakaa, he agreed to them all, withholding noth- 

 ing of which Pakaa wanted, saying: "I am willing to do all this in order that I may 

 get him to come back to me." Again Kuapakaa set out for Molokai, where he landed 

 and delivered the order of Keawenuiaumi. When Pakaa heard the reply of the king, 

 he boarded the canoe and returned to tiawaii. 



When Pakaa came in the presence of Keawenuiaumi, Keawenuiaunii fell on 

 Pakaa and wept, and begged to be forgiven for the bad treatment given to a faithful 

 servant. After the weeping, Keawenuiaumi gave to Pakaa the whole of Hawaii," thus 

 placing him back in the same position held by him before. This is the end of this story. 



""Put not your trust in princes," or kings, is now "Practically the control of the king's interests, reliev- 



Pakaa s policy. jng him of its cares and responsibilities.
