556 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI LETH. ANN. 33 
Then Kihanuilulumoku lifted his tail out of the water, the sea 
swelled, the waves overwhelmed the cliffs from their foundations 
as high waves sweep the coast in February; the spume of the sea 
rose high, the sun was darkened, white sand was flung on the shore. 
Then fear fell upon Kaeloikamalama and his companion, and 
they started to run away from before the face of the lizard. 
Then Kihanuilulumoku threw out Kahalaomapuana, and she fell 
upon Kaeloikamalama’s neck.” 
Kaeloikamalama asked, “ Whose child are you?” 
Said Kahalaomapuana, * The child of Mokuekelekahiki, of Kaeloi- 
kamalama, of the magicians who guard the taboo house on the bor- 
ders of Tahiti.” 7 
The two asked, “ On what journey, my child, do you come hither? ” 
Kahalaomapuana answered, “A journey to seek one from the 
heavens.” 
Again they asked, “To seek what one from the heavens? ” 
“ aonohiokala,” replied Kahalaomapuana, “the high taboo one 
of Kaeloikamalama and Mokukelekahiki.” 
Again they asked, “ Kaonohiokala found, what is he to do?” 
Said Kahalaomapuana, “'To be husband to the princess of broad 
Hawaii, to Laieikawai, our mistress.” 
Again they asked, “ Who are you?” 
She told them, “ Kahalaomapuana, the youngest daughter of 
Moanalihaikawaokele and Laukieleula.” 
When Mokukelekahiki and Kaeloikamalama heard she was their 
own child, then they released her from Kaeloikamalama’s neck and 
kissed their daughter. 
For Mokukelekahiki and Kaeloikamalama were brothers of Lau- 
kieleula, Aiwohikupua’s mother. 
Said Kaeloikamalama, “ We will show you the road, then you 
shall ascend.” 
For ten days they journeyed before they reached the place to go 
up; Kaeloikamalama called out, “O Lanalananuiaimakua! Great 
ancestral spider. Let down the road here for me to go up!! There 
is trouble below!!!” 
Not long after, Great ancestral spider let down a spider-web 
that made a network in the air. 
Then Kaeloikamalama instructed her, saying, “ Here is your way, 
ascend to the top, and you will see a house standing alone in a 
garden patch; there is Moanalihaikawaokele; the country is Kahaka- 
ekaea. 
“When you see an old man with long gray hair, that is Moana- 
lihaikawaokele; if he is sitting up, don’t be hasty; should he spy you 
first, you will die, he will not listen to you, he will take you for 
another. 
“
