490 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
Then the sport master stood up in the midst of the assembly, while 
Hauailiki and Poliahu were playing, then he sang a song while flut- 
tering the end of the wand over Hauailiki and took away the wand 
and Hauailiki stood up. The sport master went over to Hinaika- 
malama, touched her with the wand and withdrew it. Then Hinai- 
kamalama stood in the midst of the circle of players. 
When Poliahu saw Hinaikamalama, she frowned at sight of her 
rival. 
And Hauailiki and Hinaikamalama withdrew where they could 
take their pleasure. 
When they met, said Hinaikamalama to Hauailiki, “If you take 
me only for a little while, then there is an end of it, for my parents 
do not wish me to give up my virginity thus. But if you intend to 
take me as your wife, then I will give myself altogether to you as 
my parents desire.” 
To the woman’s words Hauailiki answered, “ Your idea is a good 
one; you think as I do; but let us first meet according to the choice 
of the sport master, then afterwards we will marry.” 
“Not so,” said Hinaikamalama,” let me be virgin until you are 
ready to come and get me at Hana.” 
On the third night of Hauailiki’s festivities, when the chiefs and 
others were assembled, that night Lilinoe and Poliahu, Waiaie and 
Kahoupokane met, for the three had come to find Poliahu, thinking 
that Aiwohikupua was living with her. 
This night, while Aiwohikupua and Makaweli were playing spin- 
the-gourd, in the midst of the sport, the women of the mountain 
entered the place of assembly. 
As Poliahu and the others stood in their mantles of snow, spark- 
ling in the light, the group of players were in an uproar because 
of these women, because of the strange garments they wore; at the 
same time cold penetrated the whole #i/w shelter and lasted until 
morning, when Poliahu and her companions left Kauai. At the same 
time Hinaikamalama left Kauai. 
When we get to Laieikawai’s coming to Kauai after Kekalukaluo- 
kewa’s marriage with Laieikawai, then we will begin again the 
story of Hinaikamalama; at this place let us tell of Kauakahialii’s 
command to his friend, and so on until he meets Laieikawai. 
After their return from Hawaii, Kauakahialii lived with Kailio- 
kalauokekoa at Pihanakalani.®* Now the end of their days was near.
