and Kanaloa. When Lnnkia and her attendants woke up they saw a handsome young 

 man coming- to them and immediately Luukia fell in love with him, for he was indeed 

 very comely and pleasant to look upon. Luukia called Uweuwelekehau to come closer, 

 whereupon they came together, though they did not know each other, for Kane and 

 Kanaloa disapproved of their living together at this time. 



While they were living in this way, Olopana heard that Luukia was living with a 

 husband ; so he became very angry because of the promise he had made, that Luukia 

 should have no one else but Uweuwelekehau for her husband [not knowing that this 

 very person was the man of his choice]. Olopana then gathered all the people of Kauai 

 and ordered them to come before him to hear what he had to say about Luukia and her 

 lover, and to see for themseh'cs who he was. As soon as the people came together in 

 his ])resence, he asked Luukia: "Which would you rather have, the husband or your 

 father?" "I will take mv husband," said Luukia. Olopana then ordered his chief of- 

 ficer: "Take off everything from Luukia and leave her naked; also take oft' everything 

 from her husband except his malo." 01o])ana thought they were deserving of this ill 

 treatment because his daughter had disobeyed him. Olopana then told the peo])le of the 

 whole of Kauai not to take these two into their homes nor give them food or clothing. 

 He also commanded that they go to Mana and live, a place of spirits; no human beings 

 lived there. 



lyUukia and LTweuwelekehau therefore left Wialua and journeyed to the land 

 to which they were commanded to go and live. When they reached the plains of Li- 

 hue, Luukia began to wee]:) and to show signs of complaint against her father for forc- 

 ing her to go naked. \\'hen Uweuwelekehau saw this he said: "Don't weep; have 

 patience until we reach that hill, where you will lind a ])a-u." When ihcy arri\-ed at 

 the hill, they found several pa-u and all manner of kapas, which furnished them with 

 all their wants and thus covered their nakedness. After they left the place Luukia again 

 began weeping because she was hungry. Her husband then said to her: "Have a little 

 patience until we reach that hill, Kohoaea, where we will find food and meat." Upon 

 arriving at the hill they found food and meat which they ate until they were satisfied. 

 From this i)lace they continued on their way until they came to Mana, where they made 

 their home. 



Mana, as has been said, was the land where the spirits lived; no human beings 

 lived there ; no food of any description grew in the place ; the only things that grew in 

 the ])lace were wild shrubs and weeds. It was also a place avoided by people, lest they 

 be destroyed by the spirits, and it was for these reasons that Luukia and her husband 

 were sent here. 



During the night, as they slept, a house was built over them, food was pro- 

 \'ided, animals were brought to the place and all their needs were supplied them. When 

 they woke u]) the next morning Luukia was surprised to see these different things. The 

 two lived on in peace in the place from this time on. 



When the fishermen who were out in their canoes saw the light burning they 

 came ashore and were entertained by Uweuwelekehau, food and meat were given them 

 as well as kapas and other things. Through his great kindness he stole the hearts of
