At that iiionient he mused, "At last here is the means whereby I have secured both, 

 which is dancing." \Mien he had finished dancing, and when night had come, the 

 women went and met Kawelo; wliereupon they lived as husband and wives. Let us 

 leave the narrative of Kawelo with his wives and turn to Aikanaka. 



CHAPTER TT. 



Aikanaka Plans to Bk Avenged. — Kawelo Moves to Oamu. — Joins Makuakeke 

 AND Captures a Famous Fish. — Obtains a New Wife and is Taught the 

 Arts of Warfare. 



While Aikanaka was brooding with love lor his wives the thought occurred to 

 him to seek the death of his younger brother' Kawelo. Soon afterwards all the peo- 

 ple of Kauai assembled and consulted with their great king Aikanaka.'' The task of 

 spear practice was begun, and the men became highh' dexterous in that service. They 

 spent much time in its exercise, and, very long afterwards, a longing took hold of Ka- 

 welo to go sightseeing in circuiting Oahu; hence, he said to the father: "How great is 

 my desire to sail and tour all of Oahu!" The father answered: "Go as your desire 

 dictates." 



Upon which he set out; but while he was traveling along the road, young Ka- 

 malama" approached and inquired of Kawelo: "Whither are you bound for?" Ka- 

 welo replied, "I am going to sail and tour Oahu and then return." Whereupon the 

 former said, "It is well then that I. too, shall accompany you." The latter gave his 

 consent and boarded the canoe. This canoe, on which they embarked, belonged to 

 Kaulukauloko and Kaulukauwaho.' 



Soon they all sailed (Uit for and landed at Oahu. Kou,'^ a beautiful woman 

 of Puuloa, Oahu, met him. In due time he started out to call on the celebrated fish- 

 erman of Oahu here at that time, who was Makuakeke. Kawelo immediately asked 

 of A-Iakuakeke: "Are the fish of this locality famed for their not being entrapped by 

 the net, caught?" The latter replied: "One has been captured, but the other one is 

 still at large." "What of it? Let us go out to entrap it; perhaps we may capture 

 it." So they paddled out until they arrived off the point of Kaena." Just as they 

 approached the spot, Makuakeke bent his head down to make observations and saw the 

 fish swimming about. "Here is that fish," said the fisherman. Let us leave these two 

 awhile and speak relative to the parents. 



As the parents were residing on Kauai, ever)' one in their neighborhood, in- 

 cluding themselves, were attacked. Moreover, the parents were driven away, and thev 

 retired to a very distant place.
