y when Kekalukaluokewa sailed and came to Keaau, Waka foresaw
this Kekalukaluokewa.

Said Waka to her grandchild, "Do not go again to the coast, for
Kekalukaluokewa has come to Keaau to get you for his wife. Kauakahialii
is dead, and has charged his favorite to take you to wife; therefore
this is your husband. If you accept this man you will rule the island,
surely preserve these bones. Therefore wait up here four days, then go
down, and if you like him, then return and tell me your pleasure."

So Laieikawai waited four days as her grandmother commanded.

In the early morning of the fourth day of retirement, she arose and went
down with her hunchbacked attendant to Keaau.

When she arrived close to the village, lo! Kekalukaluokewa was already
out surf riding; three youths rose in the surf, the chief and his
favorites.

As Laieikawai and her companion spied out for Kekalukaluokewa, they did
not know which man the grandmother wanted.

Said Laieikawai to her nurse, "How are we to know the man whom my
grandmother said was here?"

Her nurse said, "Better wait until they are through surfing, and the one

So they sat and waited.

Then, the surf riding ended and the surfers came back to shore.

Then they saw some men carrying the boards of the favorites, but the
chief's board the favorites bore on their shoulders, and Kekalukaluokewa
came without anything. So Laieikawai looked upon her husband.

When they had seen what they had come for, they returned to Paliuli and

Asked the grandmother, "Were you pleased with the man?"

"Yes," answered Laieikawai.

Said Waka, "To-morrow at daybreak Kekalukaluokewa goes surfing alone; at
that time I will cover all the land of Puna with a mist, and in this
mist I will send you on the wings of birds to meet Kekalukaluokewa
without your being seen. When the mist clears, then all shall see you
riding on the wave with Kekalukaluokewa; that is the time to give a kiss
to the Kauai youth. So when you go out of the house, speak no word to
anyone, man or woman, until you have given a kiss to Kekalukaluokewa,
then you may speak to the others. After the surf riding, then I will
send the birds and a mist over the land; that is the time for you to
return with your husband to your house, become one flesh according to
your wish."

When all this had been told Laieikawai, she returned to the chief-hou
