650 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
away from a warrior who hurls his spear at the king’s middle, using 
the thrust known as Wahie. Umi wards it off, catches it by the 
handle and holds it. This is a sign that he will hold his kingdom 
successfully—* your son, your grandson, your issue, your offspring 
until the very last of your blood.” 
Umi now makes a tour of the island for two years. He slays 
Paiea. He sends Omaokamau to Piilani of Maui to arrange a mar- 
riage with Piikea. After'20 days, Piikea sets sail for Hawaii with 
a fleet of 400 canoes, and a rainbow “like a feather helmet ” stands 
out at sea signaling her approach. The rest of the story has to do 
with the adventures of Umi’s three warriors, Omaokamau who is 
right-handed, Koi who is left-handed, and Piimaiwae, who is ambi- 
dextrous, during the campaign on Maui, undertaken at Pikea’s 
plea to gain for her brother, Kihapiilani, the rule over Maui. The 
son and successor of Umi is Keawenuiaumi, father of Lonoikamaka- 
hiki. 
10. KTHAPITLANI 
Lonoapii, king of Maui, has two sisters, Piikea, the wife of Umi, 
and Kihawahine, named for the lizard god, and a younger brother, 
Kihapiilani, with whom he quarrels. Kihapiilani nurses his revenge 
as he plants potatoes in Kula. Later he escapes to Umi in Hawaii, 
and his sister Piikea persuades her husband to aid his cause with a 
fleet of war canoes that make a bridge from Kohala to Kauwiki. 
Hoolae defends the fort at Kauwiki. Umi’s greatest warriors, 
Piimaiwae, Omaokamau, and Koi, attack in vain by day. At night 
a giant appears and frightens away intruders. One night Piimaiwaa 
discoyers that the giant is only a wooden image called Kawalakii, 
and knocks it over with his club. Lonoapii is slain and Kihapilani 
becomes king. He builds a paved road from Kawaipapa to Kahala- 
oaka and a shell road on Molokai. 
11. PAKAA AND KUAPAKAA* 
Pakaa, the favorite of Keawenuiaumi, king of Hawaii, regulates 
the distribution of land, has charge of the king’s household, 
keeps his personal effects, and is sailing master for his double 
canoe. The king gives him land in the six districts of Hawaii. He 
owns the paddle, Lapakahoe, and the wooden calabash with netted 
cover in which are the bones of his mother, Laamaomao, whose voice 
the winds obey. ; 
Two men, Hookeleiholo and Hookeleipuna, ruin him with the king. 
So, taking the king’s effects, his paddle and calabash, he sails away
