512 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 83 
After this Waka made ready to build another house like that she 
had built for Laieikawai. And by Waka’s art the house was speedily 
completed. 
When the house was ready, Waka went herself to meet Kekalu- 
kaluokewa in person, for her heart yearned with love for Kakalu- 
kaluokewa. 
When Waka reached Kekalukaluokewa’s place, she clasped his feet 
and said, with sorrowful heart: “ Great is my grief and my love for 
you, O chief, for I desired you for my grandchild as the man to save 
these bones. I thought my grandchild was a good girl, not so! I 
saw her sleeping with Halaaniani, not the man I had chosen for her. 
Therefore, I come to beseech you to give me a canoe and men also, and 
I will go and get the foster child of Kapukaihaoa, Laielohelohe,” 
who is like Laieikawai, for they are twins.” 
And for this journey Kekalukaluokewa gave a double canoe with 
men and all the equipment. 
Before Waka went after Laielohelohe she commanded Kekalu- 
kaluokewa as follows: “I shall be gone three times ten days and 
three days over, then I shall return. Keep watch, and if the mist 
rises on the ocean, then you will know that I am returning with your 
wife, then purify yourself for two days before the marriage.” 
According to her determination, Waka sailed to Oahu, where the 
canoes landed at Honouliuli and Waka saw the rainbow arching up 
at Wahiawa. 
She took a little pig to sacrifice before Kapukaihaoa, the priest 
who took care of Laielohelohe, and went up thither. 
Waka went up and reached Kukaniloko; she drew near the place 
where Laielohelohe was hidden, held the pig out to the priest and 
prayed, and came to the amen, then she let the pig go. 
The priest asked, “ Why do you bring me the pig? What can I 
do for you?” 
Said Waka, “ My foster child has sinned, she is not a good girl; I 
wished to have the chief of Kauai for her husband, but she would not 
listen to me, she became Halaaniani’s; therefore, I come to take your 
foster child to be the wife of Kekalukaluokewa, the chief of Kauai. 
We two shall be provided for, he will preserve our bones in the days 
of our old age until we die, and when that chief is ours my foster 
child will be supplanted, and she will realize how she has sinned.” 
Said Kapukaihaoa, “The pig is well, therefore I give you my 
foster child to care for, and if you succeed well, and I hear of your 
prosperity, then I will come to seek you.”
