368 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
Many days he remained there without seeing the sign he sought; 
but in his character as seer he continued praying to his god as when 
he was on Kauwiki, and in answer to the seer’s prayer, he had again 
the same sign that was shown to him on Kauwiki. 
At this, he left the place and traversed Hawaii, starting from 
Hamakua, and the journey lasted until the little pig he Ae 
with had grown too big to be carried. 
Having arrived at iste kua, he dwelt in the Waipio Valley at the 
temple of Pakaalana but did not stay there long. 
The seer left that place, went to Laupahoehoe, and thence to 
Kaiwilahilahi, and there remained some years. 
Here we will leave the story of the seer’s search. It will be well 
to tell of the return of Kauakahialii to Kauai with Kailiokalauoke- 
koa. As we know, Laieikawai is at Paliuli. 
In the first part of the story we saw that Kapukaihaoa commanded 
Waka in a dream to take Laieikawai to Paliuli, as the seer saw. 
The command was carried out. Laieikawai dwelt at Paliuli until 
she was grown to maidenhood. 
When Kauakahialii and Wailiokalauokekoa returned to Kauai 
after their meeting with the “ beauty of Paliuli” there were gathered 
together the high chiefs, the low chiefs, and the country aristocracy 
as well, to see the strangers who came with Kailiokalauokekoa’s 
party. Aiwohikupua came with the rest of the chiefs to wail for the 
‘strangers. 
After the wailing the chiefs asked Kauakahiali, “ How did your 
journey go after your marriage with Kailiokalauokekoa ?” 
Then Kauakahiali told of his journey as follows: * Seeking hence 
after the love of woman, I traversed Oahu and Maui, but found no 
other woman to compare with this Kailiokalauokekoa here. I went 
to Hawaii, traveled all about the island, touched first at Kohala, 
went on to Kona, Kau, and came to Keaau, in Puna, and there I tar- 
ried, and there I met another woman surpassingly beautiful, more so 
than this woman here (Kailiokalauokekoa), more thun all the beauties 
of this whole group of islands.” 
During this speech Aiwohikupua seemed to see before him the 
lovely form of that woman.
