482 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LATEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
When she came into their midst Aiwohikupua did not see her, for 
his attention was taken by the dance. 
As Hinaikamalama sat there, behold! Hauailiki conceived a pas- 
sion for her. 
Then Hauailiki went and said to the master of ceremonies, “Go 
and tell Aiwohikupua to stop the dance and play at spin-the-gourd; 
when the game begins, then you go up and draw the stranger for my 
partner to-night.” 
At the request of the one for whom the sports were given the dance 
was ended. 
Then Hauailiki played at spin-the-gourd with Poliahu until the

to Poliahu; therefore I came here to see how he had lied to me. For 
that man there came to Hana on Maui while we were surf riding. The 
two of them were the last to surf, and when they were through, they 
came home to play konane with me. He wanted to play onane. 
We set up the board again; I asked what he would bet; he pointed to 
his double canoe. I said I did not like his bet; then I told the bet I 
liked, our persons; if he beat me at konane, then I would become his 
and do everything that he told me to do, and the same if he lost to me, 
then he was to do for me as I to him; and we madethisbargain. And 
in the game in a little while my piece blocked the game, and he was 
beaten. I said to him, ‘ You have lost; you ought to stay with me 
as we have wagered.’ Said that fellow, ‘I will wait to carry out the
