The small canoe was then let down and as it floated through the surf the people ashore 

 again shouted with joy. Kumukahi turned back and called out to those in the canoe, 

 saying: "Let me have that small canoe." Laenihi gave her consent. He then re- 

 quested all the things exhibited by the people until the idols were the only things left. 

 Laenihi then ordered that the idols be made to stand up in all the canoes. When Kumu- 

 kahi saw the idols he asked that they all be given to him. 



At this Laenihi and Halemano said: "Are you a favorite with your sister?" 

 "Yes," answered Kumukahi, "she will do anything I ask of her." "Call for her then." 

 Kumukahi then called out: "Kamalalawalu, come here. I cannot get these playthings 

 unless you come." Upon the arrival of Kamalalawalu another request was made of 

 Kumukahi : "Are you a favorite with you sister, and would she mind if you asked her 

 to turn her back this way?" "Yes." Kamalalawalu then turned her back toward the 

 canoes. The people then looked at her and saw that she was neither humped back nor 

 deformed in any way. After inspecting her they said to the brother: "Are you a fa- 

 vorite with your sister, and would she obey you if you request of her to turn her face 

 this way?" "Yes." Kamalalawalu then faced toward the canoes. 



Soon after this Kamalalawalu went aboard one of the canoes ; whereupon Hale- 

 mano gave orders to the paddlers that they start on their return, and the two were 

 thus carried off to Oahu. The people of Puna and Hilo pursued them but could not come 

 near them, as by the power of Halemano and Laenihi they were soon left far to the 

 rear. 



In this flight to Oahu, one canoe, the one in which was Kumukahi, landed at 

 Hauula, Koolauloa. There was at this place an image standing, Malaekahana by name ; 

 upon seeing this image, Kumukahi took such a fancy to it that he remained there. Ha- 

 lemano and the others, together with Kamalalawalu, continued on their way and landed 

 at Ukoa at Waialua. As soon as the canoe in which Kamalalawalu was a passenger 

 landed, a crier" was sent out to make a circuit of Waialua and Waianae with orders to 

 the people to come and give presents" to Kamalalawalu. 



About three days after the hookupu, Kamalalawalu for the first time missed Ku- 

 mukahi, so she asked of Halemano and Laenihi: "Where is Kumukahi?" "He is at 

 Hauula where he is enraptured by an image that is there." Kamalalawalu then said: 

 "Go and bring him here." When Kumukahi arrived, Kamalalawalu said to him: "You 

 had better return to Hawaii with the presents to our parents and to our people, else some 

 of them will feel troubled over us." Kumukahi in obedience to his sister returned to 

 Hawaii. 



"A crier, kukala, one who proclaimed the orders of "The recognized custom of Iwokiifii, 



the chief; the ancient method of promulgating royal 

 decrees.
