beheld the cahiiness of Maui; it is indeed clear, for Kaihuakala can be seen." [One 

 must behold] Kaihuakala niountainward and Kauiki seaward in order to complete one's 

 journey of sightseeing. Thus the saying by composers of chants : 



Maui is calm, for Kaihuakala is seen; 



Kaiiuiakala mouutainward, Kauiki to seaward. 



The surf breaks at Kaihalulu in the presence of Kauiki ; 



Kauiki is nursing Mokuhano, 



Nursing the sand of Pueokahi, 



Nursing the cold wind from Kaililiili, 



Nursing the surf of Keanini, 



Including Mokumana ; 



A canoe from Hawaii 



[Enters] the harbor of Waikaakihi. 



With the water at Punahoa, the sand at Pueokahi, 



[With] Ilonuaulu mauka, [and] Kahulili on top, 



Consumed indeed is Peapea by fire. 



If some peoi)le are going to Kauiki [let them see] these places which have been 

 mentioned. This is all of what has been told me by some one who knows the story of 

 Kauiki; there is much more, but this which has been learned by heart is sufficient.

A STORY OF PUMAIA. 



Pumaia' was born at Koloa, Kauai. Malaihi was the father and Kuhihewa 

 was the mother. They lived together until the child had grown up, and his bodv had 

 acquired strength, when Pumaia said to his father, "You will please let me go to see 

 the club of my grandmother." The father gave his consent. The son went, and ar- 

 riving at the house of Kiha, his grandmother, he asked, "Where is the club?" "Plere 

 it is," said the grandmother. He took it. The nets of calabashes- were thereby dashed 

 to the ground and broken to pieces. He shouldered the club and commenced his jour- 

 ney. He caught up with Wakaina, and the latter inquired, "Where are you journey- 

 ing to?" "Going sightseeing," replied Pumaia. "Please let me go with you." Pu- 

 maia consented and they went along. 



Puukolea stood forth and called out, "Whose offspring are you?" "Our own," 

 replied Pumaia. "If you excel in strength, you are saved; if your strength is meager, 

 I will kill you." Then they commenced to fight. That man, however, had a dual body, 

 while these had the ordinary living body. Pumaia asked Wakaina, "Which of us shall 

 be the first one to fight with this man?" The other replied, "It is better that I do it." 

 Pumaia consented and Wakaina went to fight Puukolea. Before they commenced fight- 

 ing, however, he chanted a portion of a song, thus :
