3856 HAWAIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
Then the men said: “ We two wearied of your constant sleeping 
and the pig’s squealing and the cock’s crowing; there was such a 
noise; from the time we left until now the noise has kept up. You 
ought to have taken hold and helped paddle. Not so! Sleep was 
the only thing for you!” 
The seer said: “ You two are wrong, I think, if you say the reason 
for your returning to Oahu was my idleness; for I tell you the 
trouble was with the man above on the seat, for he sat still and 
did nothing.” 
As he spoke, the seer sprang to the stern of the canoe, took charge 
of the steering, and they sailed and came to Haleolono, on Molokai. 
When they reached there, lo! the rainbow arched over Koolau, 
as he saw it from Kuamooakane; he left the paddlers, for he wished 
to see the sign which he was following. 
He went first clear to the top of Waialala, right above Kalaupapa. 
Arrived there, he clearly saw the rainbow arching over Malelewaa, 
over a sharp ridge difficult to reach; there, in truth, was Laieikawai 
hidden, she and her grandmother, as Kapukaihaoa had commanded 
Waka in the vision. 
For as the seer was sailing over the ocean, Kapukaihaoa had fore- 
knowledge of what the prophet was doing, therefore he told Waka in 
a vision to carry Laieikawai away where she could not be found. 
After the seer left Waialala he went to Waikolu right below Male- 
lewaa. Sure enough, there was the rainbow arching where he could 
not go. Then he considered for some time how to reach the place to 
see the person he was seeking and offer the sacrifice he had prepared, 
but he could not reach it. 
On the day when the seer went to Waikolu, the same night, came 
the command of Kapukaihaoa to Laieikawai in a dream, and when 
she awoke, it was a dream. Then Laieikawai roused her grand- 
mother, and the grandmother awoke and asked her grandchild why 
she had roused her. 
The grandchild said to her: “ Kapukaihaoa has come to me in a 
dream and said that you should bear me away at once to Hawaii and 
make our home in Paliuli; there we two shall dwell; so he told me, 
and I awoke and wakened you.” 
As Laieikawai was speaking to her grandmother, the same vision 
came to Waka. Then they both arose at dawn and went as they had 
both been directed by Kapukaihaoa in a vision.
