458 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 83 
Hauailili said, “ O Princess, let us kiss *® one another, for a few 
nights ago I came up and got here without seeing you; we were 
driven away by the power of your guards, and on our reaching the 
coast, exhausted, I fell asleep; while I slept we two met together in 
a dream and we were united, and many days and nights the same 
dream came; therefore I have come up here again to fulfill what was 
done in the dream.” 
Laieikawai said, “ Return; what you say is no concern of mine; 
for the same thing has come to me in a dream and it happened to me 
as it happened to you, and what is that to me? Go! return!” 
As Kahalaomapuana slept, she heard low talking in the house, 
and she started up from sleep and called out, “ O Laieikawai, who is 
the confidant who is whispering to you?” 
When she heard the questioner, Laieikawai ceased speaking. 
Soon Kahalaomapuana arose and entered the house, and behold! 
Hauailiki was in the house with Laieikawai. 
Kahalaomapuana said, “O Hauailiki, arise and go; you have no 
right to enter here; I told you before that you had no business in 
this place, and I say the same thing to-night as on that first night, 
so arise and return to the coast.” 
And at these words of Kahalaomapuana Hauailiki arose with 
shame in his heart, and returned to the beach at Keaau and told his 
comrades about his journey to Paliuli. 
When Hauailiki saw that he had no further chance to win Laieika- 
wai, then he made the canoe ready to go back to Kauai, and with the 
dawn left Keaau and sailed thither. 
When Hauailiki’s party returned to Kauai and came to Wailua, 
he saw a great company of the high chiefs and low chiefs of the 
court, and Kauakahialii and Kailiokalauokekoa with them. 
As Hauailiki and his party were nearing the mouth of the river 
at Wailua, he saw Aiwohikupua and called out, “ I have lost.” 
When Hauailiki landed and told Aiwohikupua the story of his 
journey and how his sisters had become the princess’s guardians, then 
Aiwohikupua rejoiced. 
He declared to Hauaililki, “'There’s an end to our bet, for it was 
made while we were drunk with awa.” 
While Hauailiki was telling how Aiwohikupua’s sisters had become 
guardians to Laieikawai, then Aiwohikupua conceived afresh the 
hope of sailing to Hawaii to get Laieikawai, as he had before desired.
