CHAPTER III 
When the seer set out after meeting that man, he went first up 
Kawela; there he saw the rainbow arching over the place which the 
man had described to him; so he was sure that this was the person 
he was following. 
He went to Kaamola, the district adjoining Keawanui, where 
Laieikawai and her companion were awaiting the paddler. By this 
time it was very dark; he could not see the sign he saw from Kawela; 
but the seer slept there that night, thinking that at daybreak he 
would see the person he was seeking. 
That night, while the seer was sleeping at Kaamola, then came 
the command of Kapukaihaoa to Laieikawai in a dream, just as he 
had directed them at Malelewaa. 
At dawn they found a canoe sailing to Lanai, got on board, and 
went and lived for some time at Maunalei. 
After Laieikawai and her companion had left Kalaeloa, at day- 
break, the seer arose and saw that clouds and falling rain obscured 
the sea between Molokai and Lanai with a thick veil of fog and mist. 
Three days the veil of mist hid the sea, and on the fourth day of 
the seer’s stay at Kaamola, in the very early morning, he saw an end 
of the rainbow standing right above Maunalei. Now the seer re- 
gretted deeply not finding the person he was seeking; nevertheless 
he was not discouraged into dropping the quest. 
About 10 days passed at Molokai before he saw the end of the 
rainbow standing over Haleakala; he left Molokai, went first to 
Haleakala, to the fire pit, but did not see the person he was seeking. 
When the seer reached there, he looked toward Hawaii; the land 
was veiled thick in cloud apd mist. He left the place, went to 
Kauwiki, and there built a place of worship’ to call upon his god 
as the only one to guide him to the person he was seeking. 
Wherever the seer stopped in his journeying he directed the people, 
if they found the person he was following, to search him out wher- 
ever he might be. 
At the end of the days of consecration of the temple, while the seer 
was at Kauwiki, near the night of the gods Kane and Lono,™ the 
land of Hawaii cleared and he saw to the summit of the mountains.
