406 . HAWATIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
They reached Kohala, and on the day when Aiwohikupua’s party 
left, Poliahu took her garment of snow and gave it to Aiwohikupua, 
saying, “Here is my snow mantle, the mantle my parents strictly 
forbade my giving to anyone else; it was to be for myself alone; but 
as we are betrothed, you to me and I to you, therefore I give away 
this mantle until the day when you remember our vows, then you 
must seek me, and you will find me above on the White Mountain; 
show it to me there, then we shall be united.” 
When Aiwohikupua heard these things the chief’s heart was glad, 
and his counsellor and the paddlers with him. 
Then Aiwohikupua took out his feather cloak, brought it and 
threw it over Poliahu with the words, “As you have said to me 
before giving me the snow mantle, so do you guard this until our 
promised union.” 
When their talk was ended, at the approach of day, they parted 
from the woman of the mountain and sailed and came to Hana and 
met Hinaikamalama.
