spite of her chant of innocence, beats her to death under a great 
lehua tree, covers the body with leaves, and returns. Her spirit flies 
to the top of the tree and chants the news of her death. Thus she is 
found and restored to life, but she will have nothing more to do 
with Kauhi.? 
KALANIMANUIA 
The son of Ku, king of Lihue, through a secret amour with Kau- 
noa, is brought up at Kukaniloko, where he incurs the anger of his 
supposed father by giving food away recklessly. He therefore runs 
away to his real father, carrying the king’s spear and malo; but Ku, 
not recognizing them, throws him into the sea at Kualoa point. The 
spirit comes night after night to the temple, where the priests wor- 
ship it until it becomes strong enough to appear in human form. In 
this shape Ku recognizes his son and snares the spirit in a net. At 
first it takes the shape of a rat, then almost assumes human form. 
Kalanimanuia’s sister, Ihiawaawa, has three lovers, Hala, Kumu- 
niaiake, and Aholenuimakaukai. Kalanimanuia singsa derisive chant, 
and they determine upon a test of beauty. A cord is arranged to 
fall of itself at the appearance of the most handsome contestant. The 
night before the match, Kalanimanuia hears a knocking at the door 
and there enter his soles, knees, thighs, hair, and eyes. Now he is a 
handsome fellow. Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning attend his ad- 
vent, and the cord falls of itself. 
PUMAIA 
King Kualii of Oahu demands from the hog raiser, Pumaia, of 
Pukoula, one hog after another in sacrifice. At last Pumaia has but 
one favorite hog left. This he refuses to give up, since he has vowed 
it shall die a natural death, and he kills all Kualii’s men, sparing only 
the king and his god. The king prays to his god, and Pumaia is 
caught, bound, and sacrificed in the temple Kapua. Pumaia’s spirit 
directs his wife to collect the bones out of the bone pit in the temple 
and flee with her daughter to a cave overlooking Nuuanu pali. Here 
the spirit brings them food and riches robbed from Kualii’s men. 
In order to stop these deprivations, Kualii is advised by his priest 
to build three houses at Waikiki, one for the wife, one for the daugh- 
ter, and one for the bones of Pumaia. (In one version, Pumaia is 
then brought -back to life.) 
NIHOALAKTI 
Nihoalaki is this man’s spirit name. He is born at Keauhou, Kona, 
Hawaii, and goes to Waianae, Oahu, where he marries and becomes

details are added to the girl’s parentage, and the ghost fabric related in full, in connection 
with her restoration to life and revenge upon Kauhi. The Fornander. version is, on the 
whole, very bare. See also Daggett.
