When Niheu saw his hrother in this strange form, lie l>egan to cry that 

 he had been killed. He called out, "Kana, come down again to Uli." 



Kana heard his brother's words and lowered his head into Hilo while 

 his feet were still on Molokai. Uli knew that her grandchild was in some 

 trouble, and she was very angry with Niheu, who had thought more of a 

 few hairs of his head than of saving his beautiful mother. 



Uli brought food to Kana. He ate all the food that was in the cala- 

 bash. He ate all the food that was in the garden, — taro, potatoes and 

 bananas. As Kana took this nourishment his feet on Molokai began to 

 grow. When Niheu saw the feet growing, he began to chop at them with 

 a stone. 



Kana called to his grandmother, "My feet are in pain. What is the 

 trouble?" 



Uli explained to him that Niheu was angry because he was hungry. 

 So Kana promised to take him a hill of sweet potatoes. 



Uli also explained to Kana that he must return to Molokai and break 

 the backs of the turtles, so that they could not lift Haupu any higher. 



Having heard these words Kana raised his head, and when the turtles 

 tried to lift up the fortress he crushed them to death and pressed the 

 mountain down to its original size. Niheu then climbed up and carried 

 his mother down to the canoe. 



The terrified people tried to escape but were driven over the pali by 

 the big eyes of Kana. Only Mo-i and his sister escaped. 



Kana cut Haupu off from the mainland. He gave the kingdom of 

 Molokai to Hookekua, the king of Kekaha. Then he sent Niheu to 

 Hawaii with his mother, and began his travels. 



From Molokai Kana crossed to Oahu whence he soon went to Kipukai, 

 on Kauai. There he saw the beautiful sisters of Kaneike. He traveled 

 on until he reached Kalalau, where lie frightened Kahuanui, Big-Founda- 

 tions, who was making tapa, by stretching himself luitil his head reached 

 the clouds. 



Niihau was next visited by the traveler. After seeing the celebrated 

 mat-weaver and the interesting points he stepped back to Kauai at a place 

 called Ke'e, near Kalalau, which is called to this day, Kapuai-a-Kana, The- 

 Imprint-of-Kana's-Foot. Wherever Kana traveled on Kauai and Niihau 

 he killed the akua who were destroying the people. 



At last Kana returned to Hawaii, where he found all the chiefs living 

 happily. Niheu asked him to go around Hawaii with him. While they 

 were staying in Kona, Niheu heard the people complaining because their 

 king, Kahoalei, the Fricnd-of-the-Lei, made them cook food and fish for
