shame and goes off afoot like a captive
slave."

After all this was arranged, Waka returned to Paliuli.

Already has Halaaniani's expedition been described to look after his
wife Laieikawai at Keaau, and already has it been told how he heard of
the marriage celebration of Kekalukaluokewa and Laielohelohe.

On the day when Waka went to Keaau to meet Kekalukaluokewa, as we have
seen above,

On that very day, Malio told Halaaniani to get ready to go down to the
festival, saying: "To-morrow, at the marriage celebration of
Kekalukaluokewa and Laielohelohe, then Laielohelohe shall be yours. For
them shall crash the thunder, but when the clouds and mist clear away,
then all present at the place of meeting shall behold you and
Laielohelohe resting together upon the wings of birds."

Early in the morning of the next day, the day of the chief's marriage
celebration, Kihanuilulumoku was summoned into the presence of
Aiwohikupua's sisters, the servants who guarded Laieikawai.

When the lizard came, Kahalaomapuana said, "You have been summoned to
take us down to the sea at Keaau to see Kekalukaluokewa's wedding feast.

he remembered Waka's charge.

He waited for the remaining signs. After hearing the voices of the
_ewaewaiki_ and the land shells, then Kekalukaluokewa came out of his
house and stood apart from the assembly.

Just at that moment, Kihanuilulumoku stuck out his tongue as a seat for
Laieikawai and Aiwohikupua's sisters.

And when the voice of the thunder crashed, clouds and mist covered the
land, and when it cleared, the place of meeting was to be seen; and
there were Laielohelohe and Halaaniani resting upon the birds.

Then also were seen Laieikawai and Aiwohikupua's sisters seated upon the
tongue of Kihanuilulumoku, the great lizard of Paliuli.

Now they arrived at the same instant as those for whom the day was
celebrated; lo! Laieikawai saw that Halaaniani was not dead, and she
remembered Kahalaomapuana's prediction.

When Kekalukaluokewa saw Hal
