and a great aloha for the boy filled the father's heart. Kaanaelike sat 

 on her husband's lap and kissed him, and he knew that he would live. 



Kaanaelike made known her plans. She said that when the sun rose 

 on the following day, the king should return with her to Ulukaa. The 

 king agreed to this. At sunrise the king and queen paddled away from 

 Hawaii, which was left in the hands of Kaeweaoho's father. The father 

 ruled until all the chiefs of Hawaii had died. At his own death, the king- 

 dom passed into the hands of twins from Kauai. 



After Kaanaelike and her husband had reached Ulukaa, the queen sent 

 all her sisters home to their own islands except the youngest sister, Kea- 

 hiwela, Hot-Fire, who lived with her by the sea. 



In a short time Kaanaelike saw that her husband was paying too much 

 attention to her beautiful sister, so .^he took him to live under the watchful 

 eye of lier parents. 



One day the king asked permission to go fishing. His wife prepared 

 his bait and fishing lines. He went to the sea and caught twelve fish. 

 Before going home he went to the home of his wife's sister. He wakened 

 her, but she warned him to go away, or his wife with her supernatural 

 powers would see him. The king listened to her and departed, leaving her 

 seven of the fish. 



Towards evening the king returned home with the other five fish. 

 Kaanaelike felt the fish and seeing that they were dry, asked her husband 

 where he had been. He replied that the sun had been very hot, and he had 

 walked slowly. Then his wife looked at his fishing lines and saw that 

 twelve fish had been caught. When Kaanaelike asked where the other fish 

 were Kaeweaoho answered that his canoe had capsized and he had lost all 

 Init the five which she had. 



A few days later the king asked to go to catch birds. His wife pre- 

 pared the gum for him, and he went through the forest putting gum on the 

 flowers. Instead of waiting for the birds to come he hurried to the 

 younger sister's house and stayed all day with her. .\t sunset he went 

 home and when his wife asked for the birds he told her that he had had 

 an unlucky day. She looked at the gum and said, "Plenty of birds have 

 been caught but no one was there to collect them." 



The next day Kaeweaoho went again to the house of the beautiful 

 sister. This time his wife followed him. When she saw her husband 

 and si.ster together, she spat between them, and fire broke out which de- 

 stroyed the king and spread rapidly over the island, wiping out everything 

 and evcrylx)dy. Keahiwela turned herself into a pile of stones, so that the 

 fire could not destroy her. Kaanaelike put out the fire to save the life of
