eat compels me to go, I must go. Then Hinaikamalama arose to go. Said Aiwohikupua, "You might give me a kiss before you go." Said Hinaikamalama, "I will not give you a kiss; the heat from that wife of yours will come again, it will never do. Fare you well!" Let us leave off here telling about Aiwohikupua. It is well to speak briefly of Hinaikamalama. After leaving Aiwohikupua, she came and stayed at the house of a native of the place. This very night there was again a festivity for Hauailiki and the chiefs at Puuopapai. This night Hinaikamalama remembered her promise to Hauailiki after the game of spin-the-gourd, before she met Aiwohikupua. This was the second night of the festival; then Hinaikamalama went and sat outside the group. Now, the first game of spin-the-gourd was between Kauakahialii and Kailiokalauokekoa. Afterward Kailiokalauokekoa and Makaweli had the second game. During the game Poliahu entered the assembly. To Hauailiki and Poliahu went the last game of the night. And as the master of ceremonies had not seen Hinaikamalama early that night, he had not done his duty. For on the former night the first game this night had been promised to Hauailiki and Hinaikamalama, but not seeing her he gave the first game to others. Close on morning the sport master searched the gathering for Hinaikamalama and found her. Then the sport master stood up in the midst of the assembly, while Hauailiki and Poliahu were playing, then he sang a song while fluttering the end of the wand over Hauailiki and took away the wand and Hauailiki stood up. The sport master went over to Hinaikamalama, touched her with the wand and withdrew it. Then Hinaikamalama stood in the midst of the circle of players. When Poliahu saw Hinaikamalama, she frowned at the sight of her rival. And Hauailiki and Hinaikamalama withdrew where they could take their pleasure. When they met, said Hinaikamalama to Hauailiki, "If you take me only for a little while, then there is an end of it, for my parents do not wish me to give up my virginity thus. But if you intend to take me as your wife, then I will give myself altogether to you as my parents desire." To the woman's words Hauailiki answered, "Your idea is a good one; you think as I do; but let us first meet according to the choice of the sport master, then afterwards we will marry." "Not so," said Hinaikamalama, "let me be virgin until you are ready to come and get
