s the last sign; in the early
morning when the rays of the sun rose above the mountain, Kaonohiokala
was seen sitting within the smoking heat of the sun, right in the middle
of the sun's ring, encircled with rainbows and a red mist.

Then the sound of shouting was heard all over Kauai at the sight of the
beloved child of Moanalihaikawaokele and Laukieleula, the great high
chief of Kahakaekaea and Nuumealani.

Behold! a voice shouting, "The beloved of Hulumaniani! the wonderful
prophet! Hulumaniani! Give us life!"

From morning until evening the shouting lasted, until they were hoarse
and could only point with their hands and nod their heads, for they were
hoarse with shouting for Kaonohiokala.

Now, as Kaonohiokala looked down upon the earth, lo! Laieikawai was
clothed in the rainbow garment his sister, Kahalaomapuana, had brought

Kaonohiokala.

When his sisters and the seer heard, then they shouted with joyful
voices, "Amen! Amen! Amen! it is finished, flown beyond!". They rose up
with joy in their eyes.

Then he called to his sisters, "I take my wife and at this time of the
night will come again hither." Then his wife was caught away out of
sight of her companions, but the prophet had a glimpse of her being
carried on the rainbow to dwell within the moon; there they took in
pledge their moments of bliss.

And the next night when the moon shone bright, at the time when its
light decreased, a rainbow was let down, fastened to the moon and
reaching to the earth; when the moon was directly over Honopuwaiakua,
then the chiefs appeared above in the sky in their majesty and stood
before the prophet, saying: "Go
