596 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 83 
After perhaps ten days of these evil doings, Kaonohiokala returned 
above. 
Then Laielohelohe’s love for Kekalukaluokewa waxed and grew be- 
sause she had fallen into sin with Kaonohiokala. 
One day in the evening Laielohelohe said to Kapukaihaoa, “My 
good guard and protector, I am sorry for my sin with Kaonohio- 
kala, and love grows within me for Kekalukaluokewa, my husband; 
good and happy has been our life together, and I sinned not by my 
own wish, but through your wish alone. What harm had you 
refused? I referred the matter to you because of your binding me 
not to keep companionship with anyone: I thought you would keep 
your oath; not so!” 
Said Kapukaihaoa, “I allowed you to be another’s because your 
husband gave me no gifts; for in my very face your husband’s gifts 
were given to others; there I stood, then you were gone. Little he 
thought of me from whom he got his wife.” 
Said Laielohelohe to her foster father, “If that is why you have 
given me over to sin with Kaonohiokala, then you have done very 
wrong, for you know the rulers over the islands were not appointed 
by Kekalukaluokewa, but by Kaonohiokala ; and therefore to-morrow 
I will go on board a double canoe and set sail to seek my husband.” 
That very evening she commanded her retainers, those who 
guarded the chief’s canoe, to get the canoe ready to set sail to seek 
the husband. 
And not wishing to meet Kaonohiokala, she hid inside the country 
people’s houses where he would not come, lest Kaonohiokala should 
come again and sin with her against her wish; so she fled to the 
country people’s houses, but he did not come until that night when 
she had left and was out at sea. 
When she sailed, she came to Oahu and stayed in the country 
people’s houses. So she journeyed until her meeting with Kekalu- 
kaluokew: 
About the time that Laielohelohe was come to Oahu, that next 
day Kaonohiokala came again to visit Laielohelohe; but on his 
arrival, no Laielohelohe at the chief’s house; he did not question the 
guard for fear of his suspecting his sin with Laielohelohe. Now 
Laielohelohe had secretly told the guard of the chief’s house why she 
was going. And failing in his desires he returned above.
