When the father of Kaili-lau-o-kekoa had recovered from his anger he 

 called his daughter to him and asked her to explain how she came to be 

 in the mountains. She told him that she had heard the flute calling to 

 her, and had wanted to make of the man who played it either a husband or 

 a friend. 



Her parents decided to allow the kahuna to settle the matter. When 

 they were called together, and had heard the story they all agreed that 

 Kaili-lau-o-kekoa should marry the chief if he could give his genealogy. 

 As soon as Kaua-kahi-alii was called before them, he proved that he was a 

 very high chief, and so the beautiful cliiefess was given to him in 

 marriage. 



The boy who had carried food and water to the chief in prison became 

 his great friend and was made luna. or head-man, over all his lands.
