sues; but with a start of one year and six months, the hero can not 
be overtaken. 
The brothers are restored to life and the hero hands over to them 
his wife and kingdom and lives humbly. When he woos Pele and 
Hiiaka, his wife drives them over seas until they come to Maunaloa, 
Hawaii. Then the brothers leave for Kuaihelani, and Aukelenuiaiku 
desires also to see his native land again. There he finds the lizard 
grandmother overgrown with coral and his parents gone to Kauai. 
2. HINAAIKAMALAMA 
Kaiuli and Kaikea are gods who change into Paoo fish and live in 
the bottom of the sea in Kahikihonuakele. They have two children, 
the girl Hinaluaixoa and the boy Kukeapua. These two have 10

King Konikonia and Hinaaikamalama have 10 children, the young- 
est of whom, the boy Maikoha, is found to be guilty of sacrilege and

ponds—Kaihuopalaai into Kapapaapuhi pond at Ewa; Kaihukoa 
into Kaena at Waianae; Kawailoa into Ihukoko at Waialua, and 
Thukuuna into Laniloa at Laie. Kaneaukai, their brother, comes to 
look for them in the form of a log. It drifts ashore at Kealia,

Kukaohialaka and Hinauluohia live in Kailua, Oahu, with their

Oabu, is still worshiped with offerings. ‘The local story tells how two old men fish up 
the same rock three times. Then they say, ‘It is a god,’ and, in spite of the weight
