378 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
It was only after he quit awa drinking that he told anyone how 
Laieikawai had come to him in the dream and why he had drunk 
the awa and also why he had laid the command upon them not to 
tallx while he slept. 
After talking over all these things, then the chief fully decided to 
go to Hawaii to see Laieikawai. At this time they began to talk 
about getting Laieikawai for a wife. 
At the close of the rough season and the coming of good weather 
for sailing, the counsellor ordered the chief’s sailing masters to make 
the double canoe ready to sail for Hawaii that very night; and at 
the same time he appointed the best paddlers out of the chief's 
personal attendants. 
Before the going down of the sun the steersmen and soothsayers 
were ordered to observe the look of the clouds and the ocean to see 
whether the chief could go or not on his journey, according to the 
signs. And the steersmen as well as soothsayers saw plainly that he 
might go on his journey. 
And in the early morning at the rising of the canoe-steering star 
the chief went on board with his counsellor and his sixteen paddlers 
and two steersmen, twenty of them altogether in the double canoe, 
and set sail. : - 
As they sailed, they came first to Nanakuli at Waianae. In the 
early morning they left this place and went first to Mokapu and 
stayed there ten days, for they were delayed by a storm and could 
not go to Molokai. After ten days they saw that it was calm to sea- 
ward. That night and the next day they sailed to Polihua, on 
Lanai, and from there to Ukumehame, and as the wind was unfavor- 
able, remained there, and the next day left that place and went to 
Kipahulu. 
At Kipahulu the chief said he would go along the coast afoot and 
the men by boat. Now, wherever they went the people applauded 
the beauty of Aiwohikupua. 
They left Kipahulu and went*to Hana, the chief and his counsellor 
by land, the men by canoe. On the way a crowd followed them for 
admiration of Aiwohikupua. 
When they reached the canoe landing at Haneoo at Hana the 
people crowded to behold the chief, because of his exceeding beauty. 
When the party reached there the men and women were out surf 
riding in the waves of Puhele, and among them was one noted prin- 
cess of Hana, Hinaikamalama by name. When they saw the princess 
of Hana, the chief and his counsellor conceived a passion for her; 
that was the reason why Aiwohikupua stayed there that day.
