splendid appearance; it was beautiful.

When they met both showed the robes given them before in token of their
vow.

Then the chiefs were united and became one flesh, and they returned and
lived in Kauai, in the uplands of Honopuwai.

Now Aiwohikupua's messengers, Snipe and Turnstone, went to tell
Hinaikamalama of the union of Aiwohikupua with Poliahu.

When Hinaikamalama heard about it, then she asked her parents to let her
go on a visit to Kauai, and the request pleased her parents.

The parents hastened the preparation of canoes for Hinaikamalama's
voyage to Kauai, and selected a suitable cortege for the princess's
journey, as is customary on the journey of a chief.

When all was ready Hinaikamalama went on board the double canoe and
sailed and came to Kauai.

When she arrived Aiwohikupua was with Poliahu and others at Mana, where
all the chiefs were gathered for the sport between Hauailiki and
Makaweli.

That night was a festival night, the game of _kilu_ and the dance
_kaeke_ being the sports of the night.[57]

During the rejoicings in the middle of the night came Hinaikamalama and
sat in the midst of the festive gathering, and all marveled at this
strange girl.

When she came into their midst Aiwohikupua did not see her, for his
attention was taken by the dance.

As Hinaikamalama sat there, behold! Hauailiki conceived a passion for
her.

Aiwohikupua to stop the dance and play at spin-the-gourd; when the game
begins, then you go up and draw the stranger for my partner to-night."

At the request of the one for whom the sports were given the dance was
ended.

Then Hauailiki played at spin-the-gourd with Poliahu until the gourd had
been spun ten times. Then the master of ceremonies arose and made the
circuit of the assembly, returned and touched Hauailiki with his _maile_
wand and sang a song, and Hauailiki arose.

Then the master of ceremonies took the wand back and touched
Hinaikamalama's head and she arose.

As she stood there she requested the master of the sports to let her
speak, and he nodded.

Hinaikamalama asked for whom the sports were given, and they told her
for Hauailiki and Makaweli.

And Hinaikamalama turned right around and said to Hauailiki, "O chief of
this festal gathering (since I have heard this is all in your honor),
your sport master has matched us two, O chief, to bring us together for
a little; no
