some Kepakailiula was she was made very happy and took him into her home. As Kepa- 

 kaiHula was enterino^ the house he said to his two foster fathers, Kiinoho and Kiihele : 

 "Here, take lier maid for your^" wife; for you two, one wife. You may go wherever 

 you wish. If you should hear that I am dead, then arise and continue on your way." 

 After his two foster parents had departed, Kepakaihula and INIakoIea hved on together 

 as husband and wife. 



After they had been hving together for about six days and while they were fast 

 asleep, late on the morning" of the last of the six days, Keauhou and Kahaluu, the parents 

 of Makolea came to the house where Makolea was living and found her sleeping with a 

 husband. This angered the parents so much that they took up Makolea and placed her 

 in a canoe and took her to Kakaalaneo, the king of Maui. 



After Makolea had departed on the canoe for Maui, Kepakailiula woke up and 

 went in search of his foster fathers," Kiinoho and Kiihele. After he had found them 

 they started on their way by land to Kohala, and after a time they arrived at Kamilo, 

 a land adjoining Puakea, where they resided. The canoe [containing Makolea], how- 

 ever, continued on to Maui. 



When Kukuipahu, the king of Kohala at that time, saw the handsome appear- 

 ance" of Kepakailiula, he took him into his home and asked him that he become his 

 adopted son, and at the same time engaged his daughter, Kapuaokeonaona,''' to become 

 his wife. 



After living with the people of the house for about three days, he made them all 

 retire the next evening very early, and after they were fast asleep he arose and went 

 out. When he came to the beach he found a small canoe lying on the dry sand ; he took 

 and dragged it to the sea and set out for Maui'" making a landing at Kapueokahi, in 

 Hana. When he stepped ashore he went in search of the king's house. As he came 

 up to it behold there he saw Kakaalaneo under the influence of awa, and he also heard 

 him calling for his wife: "Say, Makolea. Say, Makolea, take our mats and spread them 

 outside of the out house, and after you have done that come and help me to the place." 

 After he had given this order, Makolea and her maids came to the outside of the out 

 house with the mats and spread them out. After this was done the women went in to 

 get Kakaalaneo. After they were gone on their errand Kepakailiula went up to the place 

 where the mats were spread and excremented and urinated on the mats and then went 

 and hid himself. When Kakaalaneo was brought to the mats he stepped on the filth and 

 fell, making him \-ery angry with Makolea and the women. He then called out to move 

 the mats over to the stern of the canoes. Makolea did as she was told and had the mats 

 moved to the stern of the canoes, where they went and slept for the night. After a time 

 Kakaalaneo became so overcome with the influence of awa that he fell asleep. Kepa- 

 kailiula then came and took Makolea into some bushes and spent the night there to- 

 gether. After sleeping for some time, Makolea awoke and began to weep, believing 

 that Kepakailiula would be killed by Kakaalaneo. Kepakailiula upon hearing Makolea
