598 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LATEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
The report of his lord’s falling into sin had reached the ears of 
the chief through some of his retainers and he had heard also of 
Laielohelohe’s displeasure. 
Now the vagabond, Aiwohikupua, was one of.the chief’s retainers, 
he was the one who heard these things. And when he heard Laie- 
lohelohe’s reason for setting sail to seek her husband, then he said 
to the palace guard, “If Kaonohiokala returns again, and asks for 
Laielohelohe, tell him she is ill, then he will not come back, for she 
would pollute Kaonchiokala and our parents; when the uncleanness 
is over, then the deeds of Venus may be done.” 
When Kaonohiokala came again and questioned the guard then he 
was told as Aiwohikupua had said, and he went back up again.
