CHAPTER XXXII 
When Kekalukaluokewa became head over the group, then Kaono- 
hiokala sent him to make a tour of the islands and perform the func- 
tions of a ruler, and he put Laielohelohe in Kekalukaluokewa’s place 
as his substitute. 
And for this reason Kekalukaluokewa took his chief counsellor 
(the prophet) with him on the circuit. 
So Kekalukaluokewa left Pihanakalani and started on the business 
of visiting the group; the same day Kaonohiokala left those below. 
When Kaonohiokala started to return he did not go all the way up, 
but just watched that day the sailing of Kekalukaluokewa’s canoes 
over the ocean. 
Then Kaonohiokala came back down and sought the companion- 
ship of Laielohelohe, but not just then was the sin committed. 
When the two met, Kaonohiokala asked Laielohelohe to separate 
herself from the rest, and at the high chief’s command the princess’s 
retainers withdrew. 
When Laielohelohe and Kaonohiokala were alone he said, “ This 
is the third year that I have desired you, for your beauty has grown 
and overshadowed your sister’s, Laieikawai’s. Now at last my 
patience no longer avails to turn away my passion from you.” 
“Q my high one,” said Laielohelohe, “ how can you rid yourself of 
your passion? And what does my high one see fit to do?” 
“ Let us know one another,” said Kaonohiokala, “this is the only 
thing to be done for me.” 
Said Laielohelohe, “We can not touch one another, my high one, 
for the one who brought me up from the time I was born until I 
found my husband, he has strictly bound me not to defile my flesh 
with anyone; and, therefore, my high one, it is his to grant your 
wish.” 
When Kaonohiokala heard this, then he had some check to his 
passion, then he returned to the heavens to his wife, Laieikawai. He 
had not been ten days there when he was again thick-pressed by the 
thunders of his evil lust, and he could not hold out against it. 
To ease this passion he was again forced down below to meet 
Laielohelohe.
