558 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
“Wait until he is asleep; should be turn his face down he is not 
asleep, but when you see him with the face turned up, he is really 
asleep; then approach not the windward, go to the leeward, and sit 
upon his breast, holding tight to his beard, then call out: 
“O Moanalihaikawaokele—O ! 
Here am I—your child, 
Child of Laukieleula, 
Child of Mokukelekahiki, 
Child of Kaeloikamalama, 
The brothers of my mother, 
Mother, mother, 
Of me and my older sisters 
And my brother, Aiwohikupua, 
Grant me the sight, the long sight, the deep sight, 
Release the one in the heavens, 
My brother and lord, 
Awake! Arise! 
“So you must call to him, and if he questions you, then tell him 
about your journey here. 
“On the way up, if fine rain covers you, that is your mother’s 
doings; if cold comes, do not be afraid. Keep on up; and if you smell 
a fragrance, that too is your mother’s, it is her fragrance, then all 
is well, you are almost to the top; keep on up, and if the sun’s rays 
pierce and the heat strikes you, do not fear when you feel the sun’s 
hot breath; try to bear it and you will enter the shadow of the moon; 
then you will not die, you have entered Kahakaekaea.” 
When they had finished talking, Kahalaomapuana climbed up, and 
in the evening she was covered with fine rain; this she thought was 
her father’s doings; at night until dawn she smelled the fragrance of 
the kiele plant; this she thought was her mother’s art; from dawn 
until the sun was high she was in the heat of the sun, she thought this 
was her brother’s doing. 
Then she longed to reach the shadow of the moon, and at evening 
she came into the shadow of the moon; she knew then that she had 
entered the land called Kahakaekaea. 
She saw the big house standing, it was then night. She ap- 
proached to the leeward; lo! Moanalihaikawaokele was still awake; 
she waited at a distance for him to go to sleep, as Kaeloikamalama 
had instructed her. Still Moanalihaikawaokele did not sleep. 
When at dawn she went, Moanalihaikawaokele’s face was turned 
upwards, she knew he was asleep; she ran quickly and seized her 
father’s beard and called to him in the words taught her by Kaeloi- 
kamalama, as shown above.
