there found a woman sitting over the spring covering it up. Kamapuaa asked for a 

 chance to get a drink, but the woman refused, saying there was no water. At this 

 Kamapuaa took up the woman and threw her over the chtT"" and the two then quenched 

 their tliirst. From this place they continued on until they arrived at Kilohana. Just 

 below this place was a valley overgrown with kukui trees and in this valley two girls 

 were gathering kukui nuts ; these were the Limaloa girls. Kamapuaa said to his com- 

 panion: "Say, Limaloa, are not those girls your sweethearts?" "Yes," answered Li- 

 maloa- Kamapuaa then chanted this mele: 



Kipu is quite a little cliff, that is being traveled, 



The distance to Makuaiki has not been spanned, 



And I have not yet trodden its length, 



Nor have I walked its width. 



It is a double cliff, high and lofty, 



To Mauea that is at the top. 



The voice of man is at the top. 



The voice of Kaiwikui is at the bottom. 



Where it is pleading to the cliff of Mahukona, 



For such is Kona. 



Kona the small, Kona the large. 



For such is man when in love. 



He is overcome with love, he is ill at ease, 



111 at ease, as the women by the cliff, 



Kukuiahinahina together with Kukuiahalua. 



The red bosom and the white bosom, 



The daughters of Kaneiki, 



What are the two doing here ? 



Whiling away time in the uplands, 



Making love. Our greetings to you two. 



The two girls replied: "How can there be any love when we have not lived to- 

 gether?" The two, however, invited Kamapuaa and Limaloa to come and sit with them. 

 Shortly after this the two girls sent a man to tell Kaneiki of their wish to make this man 

 [Kamapuaa] their husband. 



When Kaneiki heard the wish of his daughters, he said to the man : "You go back 

 and tell the yotmg chiefesses that their brother has made an oath that they shall marry 

 no other husband exce]3t Kamapuaa. If, however, this man is Kamajniaa himself then 

 they can marry him." Continuing, Kaneiki said to the man: "You go back to where 

 they are and bring them all here that they may partake of food." After the man had 

 gone on his way, Kaneiki prepared food and meat for the strangers. When Kamapuaa 

 and Limaloa arrived, they were invited to sit down and partake of some food. Limaloa 

 ate as any other human being, but Kamapuaa ate like a hog. After these events they 

 lived together for several days. 



Kaneiki at this time was at war with Makalii" and on setting out to battle one 

 day, he was defeated. Kaneiki went forth the second time to war but he was again

occasions to tell Olopana of his defeat.
