590 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 85 
And on the tenth day, the pathway was let down again before the 
assembly, and Kahalaomapuana mounted upon the ladder way pre- 
pared for her and turned with heavy heart, her eyes filled with a 
flood of tears, the water drops of Kulanihakoi, and said: ‘“O chiefs 
and people, I am leaving you to return to a land unknown to you; 
only I and my older sisters have visited it; it was not my wish to go 
back to this land, but my hand decided my leaving you according 
to the lot laid by my divine brother. But I know that every one of 
us has a god, no one is without; now, therefore, do you pray to your 
god and I will pray to my god, and if our prayer has might, then 
shall we meet again hereafter. Love to you all, love to the land, we 
cease and disappear.” 
Then she caught hold of her garment and held it up to her eyes 
before the assembly to hide her feeling for the people and the land. 
And she was borne by the rainbow to the land above the clouds, to 
Lanikuakaa, the heavens higher up. 
The great reason why Kaonohiokala wished to separate Kahalao- 
mapuana in Kealohilani was to hide his evil doings with Laielohelohe, 
for Kahalaomapuana was the only one who could see things done in 
secret; and she was a resolute girl, not one to give in. Kaonohiokala 
thought she might disclose to Moanalihaikawaokele this evil doing: 
ro he got his sister away, and by his supernatural arts he made the 
lot fall to Kahalaomapuana. 
When his sister had gone, about the end of the second quarter of 
the fifth year, he went away below to carry out his lustful design 
upon Laielohelohe. 
Not just at that time, but he made things right with Kekaluka- 
luokewa by putting him in Kahalaomapuana’s place and the seer as 
his chief counsellor. 
Mailehaiwale was made governor on Kauai, Mailekaluhea on Oahu, 
Mailelaulii on Maui and the other islands, Mailepakaha on Hawaii.
