450 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 83 
When the others had gone in, a little wave budded and swelled, 
then Hauailiki rode the wave. As he rode, the natives cheered and 
the sisters of Aiwohikupua also. What was that to Laieikawai? 
When Hauailiki heard the cheering, then he thought surely Laiei- 
kawai’s voice would join the shouting. Not so! He kept on surfing 
until the fifth wave had passed, it was the same; he got no call what- 
ever; then Hauailiki first felt discouragement, with the proof of 
Aiwohikupua’s saying about the “stubbornness of Laieikawai.”
