532 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 83 
“ And when you two meet, a single peal of thunder will crash, the 
earth tremble, the whole place of assembly shall shake. Then I will 
send you two on the birds, the clouds and mist shall rise, and there 
will be you two resting upon the birds in all your splendor. Then 
comes Laieikawai’s disgrace, when she sees her shame and goes off 
afoot like a captive slave.” 
After all this was arranged, Waka returned to Paliuli. 
Already has Halaaniani’s expedition been described to look after 
his wife Laieikawai at Keaau, and already has it been told how he 
heard of the marriage celebration of Kekalukaluokewa and Maie- 
lohelohe. 
On the day when Waka went to Keaau to meet Kekalukaluokewa, 
as we have seen above, 
On that very day, Malio told Halaaniani to get ready to go down 
to the festival, saying: “To-morrow, at the marriage celebration of 
Kekalukaluokewa and Laielohelohe, then Laielohelohe shall be yours. 
For them shall crash the thunder, but when the clouds and mist clear 
away, then all present at the place of meeting shall behold you and 
Laielohelohe resting together upon the wings of birds.” 
Early in the morning of the next day, the day of the chief’s mar- 
riage celebration, Kihanuilulumoku was summoned into the presence 
of Aiwohikupua’s sisters, the servants who guarded Laieikawai. 
When the lizard came, Kahalaomapuana said, “ You have been 
summoned to take us down to the sea at Keaau to see Kekalukaluoke- 
wa’s wedding feast. Be ready to take us down soon after the sun 
begins to decline.” 
TGhanuilulumoku went away until the time appointed, then he 
came to them. 
And as the lizard started to come into his mistress’s presence, lo! 
the land was veiled thick with mist up there at Paliuli, and all 
around, but Kihanuilulumoku did not hurry to his mistresses, for he 
knew when the chiefs’ meeting was to take place. 
When Kekalukaluokewa saw this mist begin to descend over the 
land, then he remembered Waka’s charge. 
He waited for the remaining signs. After hearing the voices of 
the ewaewaiki and the land shells, then Kekalukaluokewa came out 
of his house and stood apart from the assembly. 
Just at that moment, Kihanuilulumoku stuck out his tongue as a 
seat for Laieikawai and Aiwohikupua’s sisters. 
And when the voice of the thunder crashed, clouds and mist 
covered the land, and when it cleared, the place of meeting was to 
be seen; and there were Laielohelohe and Halaaniani resting upon 
the birds.
