they managed to make Kalaupapa, where they rested until dawn of the next morning, 

 when they continued on their way and in due time landed at Waikiki, Oahu. 



Upon meeting Kakuhihewa gave Kepakailiula the whole of the island of Oahu to 

 be disposed of as he saw fit. Kepakailiula then in turn gave the island over to his foster 

 parents, Kiinoho and Kiihele ; and the two became the joint rulers of Oahu, Kakuhihewa 

 serving under them."" 



After they had been in Waikiki for about three days, they joined in with the peo- 

 ple of the place, it being their customary pastime to go out every day surf riding. Dur- 

 ing these days Makolea also joined in the sport and went out to enjoy the surf. On the 

 fourth day Makolea went in again, but went beyond the usual place and took the surf at 

 Kalehuawehe. The surf at this place was the most noted in those days and it is so to. 

 this day. While she was surfing, a couple of messengers from the king of Kauai arrived; 

 they were Keaumiki and Keauka." These two were the body or personal servants of 

 Kaikipaananea, the king of Kauai, who were on a search for a wife for their foster son, 

 Kaikipaananea. While they were coming past Leahi, just adjoining the Mamala chan- 

 nel, they saw Makolea surf riding. When they first saw her they were so attracted by 

 her good looks that they could not keep their eyes from her; on coming nearer they 

 saw that she was indeed beautiful, having no equal. Therefore they came and took her 

 off to Kauai to be the wife of Kaikipaananea. 



After Makolea was taken to Kauai, Kepakailiula desired to go to Kauai in search 

 of his wife. He therefore requested'* of Kakuhihewa that he be given a canoe to make 

 the voyage. Upon hearing the wish of Kepakailiula, Kakuhihewa gave him a double 

 canoe and some men; but Kepakailiula refused to take the men, saying: "I do not want 

 to travel in state, for my wife has been taken away from me secretly, so I want to travel 

 in secret. All I want from you is a small canoe." Kakuhihewa therefore gave him a 

 small canoe, as requested. Kepakailiula then set sail for Kauai, and on the morning of 

 the next day he reached Waimea. As soon as he landed he took his canoe and broke it 

 into pieces, then after this was done he went to the first house he saw, where lived one 

 of the chiefs of Kauai, Kaunalewa by name, a very rich and honored man. When Ka- 

 unalewa saw the goodly appearance of Kepakailiula he called him, and when he arrived 

 before him he urged that they become friends, saying: "I want you to become my friend 

 and whatever you request of me I will grant it." 



After they had been living together for about three days, the voices of the people 

 and the king were heard shouting and yelling. Kepakailiula therefore asked his friend 

 Kaunalewa: "What is this shouting up above here?" Kaunalewa replied: "It is our 

 King Kaikipaananea playing honuhonu,'^ also wrestling, boxing and such other games. 

 Some one must have been thrown, hence the shouting." Kepakailiula then said : "Can't 

 the place be visited?" The friend answered: "And why not?" They then went up to the 

 place and to the very presence of Kaikipaananea surrounded by a vast multitude. When
