534 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LATEIKAWAL [ETH. ANN. 83 
Then also were seen Laieikawai and Aiwohikupua’s sisters seated 
upon the tongue of Kihanuilulumoku, the great lizard of Paliuli. 
Now they arrived at the same instant as those for whom the day 
was celebrated; lo! Laieikawai saw that Halaaniani was not dead, and 
she remembered Kahalaomapuana’s prediction. 
When Kekalukaluokewa saw Halaaniani and Laielohelohe resting 
on the birds, he thought he had lost Laielohelohe. 
So Kekalukaluokewa went up to Paliuli to tell Waka. 
And Kekalukaluokewa told Waka all these things, saying: 
“ Halaaniani got Laielohelohe; there she was at the time set, she and 
Halaaniani seated together! ” 
Said Waka, “ He shall never get her; but let us go down and I will 
get close to the place of meeting; if she has given Halaaniani a kiss, 
the thing which I forbade her to grant, for to you alone is my 
grandchild’s kiss devoted—if she has defiled herself with him, then 
we lose the wife, then take me to my grave without pity. But if she 
has harkened to my command not to trust anyone els, not even to 
open her lips to Halaaniani, then she is your wife, if my grand- 
child has harkened to my command.” 
As they approached, Waka sent the clouds and mist over the 
assembly, and they could not distinguish one from another. 
Then Waka sent Kekalukaluokewa upon the birds, and when the 
clouds cleared, lo! Laielohelohe and Kekalukaluokewa sat together 
upon the birds. Then the congregation shouted all about the place of 
assembly: “The marriage of the chiefs! The marriage of the 
chiefs! ” °§ 
When Waka heard the sound of shouting, then Waka came into 
the presence of the assembly and stood in the midst of the congrega- 
tion and taunted Laieikawai. 
When Laieikawai heard Waka’s taunts, her heart smarted and 
the hearts. of every one of Aiwohikupua’s sisters with her; then 
Kihanuilulumoku bore them back on his tongue to dwell in the up- 
lands of Olaa; thus did Laieikawai begin to burn with shame at 
Waka’s words, and she and her companions went away together. 
On that day, Kekalukaluokewa wedded Laielohelohe, and they 
went up to the uplands of Paliuli until their return to Kauai. And 
Halaaniani became a vagabond; nothing more remains to be said 
about him. 
And when the chief resolved to return to Kauai, he took his wife 
and their grandmother to Kauai, and the men together with them.
