the desire seized him to go sightseeing". He said to his father, "I am desiring to go 

 sightseeing." The father said: "Where do you wish to travel to?" He replied: 

 "Along here, somewheres." The father said: "If you wish to go sightseeing, your sis- 

 ter is at an island ahead here, at Kauai." The son asked: "What is the name of the 

 place where they are living?" The father told him, "At Mana, Kauai." He waited 

 for some time. Again the father said, "Should you go, and your sister does not 

 recognize you, tell her about us, and she will then know you." He agreed to 

 do so. They lived together until the aspiring one went on his journey of sightseeing. 

 The father first secured the club on which their calabashes were hanging, and gave it 

 into the hands of the lad. He was taught how to cast the spear, until it was seen 

 that he was very proficient. He then went along, carrying the club with him. He 

 made a circuit of Hawaii. Finding a canoe about to sail for Maui he went and stood 

 at the landing place. The men of the canoe saw what a handsome man he was. The 

 names of the owners of the canoe were Liuliu,'* Alakaukau and Aumai. The men said 

 til the lad, "Where are you journeying to?" "Sailing for Maui; and I came to inquire 

 ciincerning your canoe; where is it bound?" "We are sailing for Maui," thev replied. 

 They sailed together and arrived at Maui. Their canoe landed at Kukui, Kipahulu. 

 He (the lad) came along and slept at Pelekane, Lahaina. \Mien he found a canoe 

 going to Molokai, he sailed in it and was landed at Halawa, Molokai. He went sight- 

 seeing, and because of the heat of the sun he went in bathing. The name of the 

 ]ilace where he bathed is Hakawai. He left his club on the bank. A man arrived 

 and took it saying, "I have found something at Hakawai." Then the lad said to the 

 man, "You are taking my club; mine is the ne.xt [move] when I shall kill you." The 

 man had a spear. The lad followed him ; when the man threw the spear at the liov 

 the latter caught it first at the point; in returning it the man was struck in the pit of 

 the stomach and the s])ear pierced the back. The lad stuck the butt of the spear in 

 the ground and impaled the man on it. He kept on his journey. Arriving at Kauna- 

 kahakai his spear was taken by one of the champions of the place to a cave. No sooner 

 had the other entered the cave than the lad also appeared and asked for his spear; but 

 it was not gi\'en him. He closed the mouth of the cave ; when there was a small open- 

 ing left, he lighted a fire. On account of the heat in the cave from the fire, the local 

 champion thrust out the point of the spear. The boy caught and jerked it, but the 

 tij) was already burned. He went along until he fovmd a canoe sailing for Lanai. He 

 boarded this canoe and met Pololu. He did not tarry long at this place. He again 

 boarded the canoe which brought him from Molokai and sailed for Oahu, landing at 

 J'*wa. He stayed there for some time, then sailed for Kauai and landed at Wailua, 

 but kept on until he arrived at Mana. He asked a woman whom he met, "Do vou 

 know Kamauoha?" "\"es; this is his house by which we now stand." He turned in
