Wai]x: replied: "Come home and drink your favorite drink, the awa, or else it 

 will get cold." 



Pamano ceased riding the body of the surf and skimmed along in the foam and 

 he again chanted, saying: 



My uncle from the surf-riding time of Poloa, 



From the twihght of Papio, turn. 



Turn to me, for here I am ; forget your day of anger, 



Your day of passion ; let us be friends. 



Waipu replied: "Your journey is perhaps not of death. I have come for you to 

 go and drink your favorite awa." Pamano then came ashore, bathed himself in fresh 

 water, again girded on his wet loin cloth and started on u]). When the two arrived on the 

 heights of Mahinui, a high knoll, overlooking Mokulau, Pamano stood and looked toward 

 the sea, and when he saw the white sands shining there at Huleia, he chanted the follow- 

 ing words : 



As I stand on the heights of Maliinui, 



And my eyes gaze seaward, 



'Like a white cloth that is spread out, 



Is the sand there below at Huleia. 



I have taken it up as a song 



A gift of words for her. 



The two after this continued on up, when the spirit sisters of Pamano, Nakino- 

 wailua and Hokiolele were heard chanting as follows : 



The sun always comes up from the back of Mahiki, 



At the shores of Kualakaina. 



You are being led to the ahupuaa, 



For you have stolen, although you pretend to be innocent ; 



No is fastened to your lips, that is for you. 



At this Pamano turned and said: "Yes, here I am going up and if I return alive, 

 I will kill both of you.* 



From this place the two continued on up until they arrived at the house. Pamano 

 then looked at the house and saw that it looked as though deserted, no one being around ; 

 it appeared dift'erent from what it used to be, so he chanted as follows: 



The coconut pole is erected, though scarred and cut up, 



For there is a gathering here, the voices are heard ; 



It is the gathering of death ; the hands are fastened at the back.^ 



My younger brother, O my younger brother !^" 



He was then called: "Come in and take 3'our favorite drink, the awa." He en- 

 tered the house and saw that there was not a single dry spot in the house; all was 

 drenched with water. He entered, however, sat down, then took up the containers and 



'Pamano is angry at his spirit sisters for their un- "Premonition of death dealing, 



favoring chant. >»It is not clear who is referred to as Pokii, younger 



brother.
