606 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIBIKAWAI (ETH. ANN. 33 
After that, Kekalukaluokewa went to Hinaikamalama every night 
without being seen; ten whole days passed that the two did evil 
together without the wife knowing it; for in order to carry out her 
husband’s desire Laielohelohe’s senses were darkened by the effects of 
awa. E 
One day one of the native-born women of the place felt pity for 
Laielohelohe, therefore the woman went to visit the princess. 
While Kekalukaluokewa was in the fiber-combing house with 
the men, the woman visited with Laielohelohe, and she said mysteri- 
ously, “ How is your husband? Does he not struggle and groan 
sometimes for the woman? ” ) i 
Said Laielohelohe, “ No; all is well with us.” 
Said the woman again, “ It may be he is deceiving you.” 
“ Perhaps so,” answered Laielohelohe, “but so far as I see we are 
living very happily.” ° 
Then the woman told her plainly, “ Where are you? Our garden 
patch is right on the edge of the road; my husband gets up to dig 
in our garden. Ashe was digging, Kekalukaluokewa came along from 
Haneoo; my husband thought at once he had been with Hinaika- 
malama; my husband returned and told me, but I was not sure. 
On the next night, at moonrise, I got wp with my husband, and we 
went to fish for red fish in the sea at Haneoo; as we came to the edge 
of the gulch, we saw some one appear above the rise we had just 
left; then we turned aside and hid; it was Kekalukaluokewa coming; 
then we followed his footsteps until we came close to Hinaika- 
malama’s house; here Kekalukaluokewa entered. After we had fished 
and returned to the place where we met him first, we met him going 
back, and we did not speak to him nor he to us; that is all, and this 
day Hinaikamalama’s own guard told me—my husband’s sister she 
is—ten days the chiefs have been together; that is my secret; and 
therefore my husband and I took pity on you and I came to tell you.”
