shelf until he grows into a boy. Meanwhile Kaeha is carried away 
by spirits to Lewanuu and Lewalani where Kane and Kanaloa live, 
and Kaulu goes in search of him. On the way he defeats and breaks 
into bits the opposing surfs and the dog Kuililoloa, hence surf and 
dogs remain small. In the spirit land he fools the spirits, then visits 
the land where their food is raised, Monowaikeoo, guarded by 
Uweleki and Uweleka, Maaleka, and Maalaki. He fools these guards 
into promising him all he can eat, and devours everything, even ob- 
scuring the rays of the sun. In revenge the shark Kukamaulunuiakea 
swallows his brother. Kaulu drinks the sea dry in search for him, 
catches a thunder rock on his pot finger, and forces Makalii to tell 
him where Kaeho is. Then he spits out the sea and this is why 
the sea is salt. The dead shark becomes the milky way. The brothers 
return to Oahu, and Kaulu kills Haumea, a female spirit, at Niuhele- 
wal, by catching her in a net got from Makalii. Next he kills Lono- 
kaeho, also called Piokeanuenue, king of Koolau, by singing an in- 
cantation which makes his forehead fast to the ground on the hill 
of Olomana.t’ After Kaeha’s death, Kaulu marries Kekele, but they 
have no children. 
4, PALILa 
Palila, son of Kaluapalena, chief over one-half of Kauai, and of 
Mahinui the daughter of Hina, is born at Kamooloa, Koloa, Kauai, 
in the form of a cord and cast out upon the rubbish heap whence he 
is rescued by Hina and brought up in the temple of Alanapo among 
the spirits, where he is fed upon nothing but bananas. The other 
chief of Kauai, Namakaokalani, is at war with his father. Hina 
sends Palila to offer his services. With his war club he fells forests 
as he travels and makes hollows in the ground. When he arrives 
before his father, all fall on their faces until Hina rolls over their 
bodies to make Palila laugh and thus remove the taboo. As he 
stands on a rise of ground, Maunakalika, with his robe Hakaula, and 
his mat Ikuwa, she circumcises Palila and returns with him to 
Alanapo. When Palila leaves home to fight monsters, he travels 
by throwing his club and hanging to one end. The first throw is to 
Uualolo cliff on Kamaile, the next to Kaena Point, Oahu, thence to 
Kalena, to Pohakea, Maunauna, Kanehoa, Keahumoa, and finally 
to Waikele. The king of Oahu, Ahuapau, offers the rule of Oahu 
to anyone who can slay the shark man, Kamaikaakui. After effect- 
ing this, Palila (who has inherited the nature of a spirit from his 
mother), is carried to the temple and made all human, in order to 
wed the king’s daughter. He slays Olomana, the greatest warrior 
on Oahu, goes fishing successfully with Kahului, with war club
