APPENDIX. 
TRANSLATION. 
Koolau was offended with the rains of Moelana, 
While they defiled the entrance of Kekele’s habitations, 
And roughened the stormy passage of Nuwanu. 
From Nuwanu to Malalua blows the wind : 
Behold the blades of the nodding kaweru 
Waving in the flying gales of the passage! 
While the leaves of the ti, the candle-tree, and the hau, 
Shake and bend, and yield to the strong blast, 
And are tost and driven by the whirl of the mountain storm, 
The goddesses * sit shiv’ring by the way-side. 
Along the flowing path of the Hau bower 
The travellers enter the pass—they sink in the mire. 
At Kahuwailana, the company going to Rona 
Slip and totter, slide, stagger, and fall, 
Wet their packages, and drench their clothes; 
They march on, naked and without a shelter : 
Accompanied by showers, they proceed to Rona; 
They meet with the sun at LeleoL 
The stones at the bottom of the Parre. See p. 141.
