floating- above the clouds ; Halemano became so enraptured at sight of the top of the 

 mountain that he wished to move to Haleakala and live in Kaupo, Maui. 



After that they returned to Molokai and again set out for Maui, landing at Lele, 

 this time to make their residence in Kaupo. From Lele they journeyed to Kula, then to 

 Ulupalakua, and from there on down to Kaupo, where they had decided to live. After 

 tilling the soil and planting their crops they remained here until the crops were almost 

 ripe, when they set out and sailed for Hawaii, landing in Umiwai, in Kohala. 



Upon their arrival at Umiwai in Kohala, they remained here as castaways. Ka- 

 puaokeonaona, the daughter of Kukuipahu the king of Kohala, then found them, and 

 when she saw how handsome Halemano looked and how beautiful Kamalalawalu was, 

 she invited them to come and live with her. ^^''hen the}' arrived at the house a pig was 

 killed and food was prepared for them. Here they lived for about six months. At the 

 end of this time Halemano said to Kamalalawalu: "Let us leave our grandmother here 

 while you and I go on to your place." His wife consented to this. 



They went from Kohala to Waimea where they spent the night ; from this place 

 they continued to Hamakua and spent the night at Kaumoali ; from this place they pro- 

 ceeded on to Uluomalama in Waiakea, Hilohanakahi, where they staid. After living in 

 this place for twenty days, Huaa the king of Puna, heard that Kamalalawalu was in 

 Hilo, so he sent a messenger to Kamalalawalu and she was taken to the king of Puna.^^ 

 When she was being taken by the messenger of Huaa, she instructed her brother Ku- 

 mukahi to take good care of Halemano, which he promised to do. 



Halemano and his brother-in-law, Kumukahi, then lived together, after Kamala- 

 lawalu had left them, for over eighty days, during which time Kamalalawalu never 

 once met them, so the thought of returning to Kohala sprung up in Halemano's mind. 

 While on his way back [to Kohala], as he passed through the shrubbery at Keakui he 

 saw the iiiailc'' as it grew on the ohia trees, so he sat down to make himself a maile 

 wreath. As he was thus busily stripping,"^ Kamalalawalu stood behind him and took 

 hold of one corner of Halemano's mantle while tears welled up in her eyes." Halemano 

 then turned around and saw it was his wife, at which he wept and said: "You, my 

 wife, of the parched plains of Kumanomano and of the waterless wastes of Lihue! 

 Plow strange of you ! I thought that when I came with you [to your home] that you 

 would be true to me; but I see you are not." 



After their weeping, they again took up their journey and continued as far as 

 Uluomalama at Waiakea, where they staid for twenty days. Then from this place 

 they continued on to Kukuipahu in Kohala, where they made their residence and took 

 up farming. The place where Halemano did his farming is at Ihuanu, the height look- 

 ing down on Kauhola point and the surf of Maliu.^^ This field where Halemano cul- 

 tivated is famous to this day, for it is said that the covering of Ihuanu was palaliolo'" and 

 the watchman of the field was Ivekuaualo.
