484 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
bet until I return from a touring trip. Then I will fulfill the bet, O 
princess.’ And because of his fine speeches we agreed upon this, and 
for this reason, I have lived apart under a taboo until now. And 
swhen I heard that he had a wife, I came to Kauai and entered the 
festal gathering. O chief, that is how it was.” 
Then the men at the gathering all around the ilu shelter were 
roused and blamed Aiwohikupua. Then at Hinaikamalama’s story, 
Poliahu was filled with hot anger; and she went back to White Moun- 
tain and is there to this day. ; 
Soon after Hinaikamalama’s speech the games began again; the 
game was between Aiwohikupua and Makaweli. 
Then the master of ceremonies stood up and touched Hauailiki 
and Hinaikamalama with the wand, and Hauailiki arose and Hinai- 
kamalama also. This time Hinaikamalama said to Hauailiki, “O 
chief, we have been matched by the sport master as is usual in this 
game. But I must delay my consent; when Aiwohikupua has con- 
sented to carry out our vow, after that, at the chief’s next festival 
night, this night’s match shall be fulfilled.”. Then Hauailiki was very 
well pleased. 5 
And because of Hinaikamalama’s words, Aiwohikupua took Hinai- 
kamalama to carry out their vow. 
That very night as they rested comfortably in the fulfillment of 
their bargain, Hinaikamalama grew numb with cold, for Poliahu 
had spread her cold snow mantle over her enemy. 
Then Hinaikamalama raised a short chant— 
Cold, ah! cold, 
A very strange cold, 
My heart is afraid. 
Perhaps sin dwells within the house, 
My heart begins to fear, 
Perhaps the house dweller has sinned. 
O my comrade, it is cold.
