f. Kamapuaa recounts the names of over fifty heroes whom he has
slain and boasts of his amours. He spares Makalii on condition that he
chant the name song in his honor, and spares his own father, brother,
and mother. Later he pays a visit to his parents at Kalalau, but has to
chant his name song to gain recognition. This angers him so much that he
can be pacified only when Hina, his mother, chants all the songs in
honor of his name. By and by he goes away to Kahiki with Kowea.[1]

3. KAINA

The first-born of Hakalanileo and Hina is born in the form of a rope at
Hamakualoa, Maui, in the house Halauoloolo, and brought up by his
grandmother, Uli, at Piihonua, Hilo. He grows so long that the house has
to be lengthened from mountain to sea to hold him. When the bold
Kapepeekauila, who lives on the strong fortress of Haupu, Molokai,
carries away Hina on his floating hill, Hakalanileo seeks first his
younger son, Niheu, the trickster, then his terrible son Kana, to
beseech their aid in recovering her. From Uli, Kana secures the canoe
Kaumaielieli, which is buried at Paliuli, and the expedition sets forth,
bearing Kana stretched in the canoe like a long package to conceal his
presence, Niheu with his war club Wawaikalani, and the father
Hakalanileo, with their equipment of paddlers. The Molokai chief has
been warned by his priest Moi's dream of defeat, but, refusing to
believe him, sends Kolea and Ulili to act as scouts. As the canoe
approaches, he sends the scoutfish Keauleinakahi to stop it, but Niheu
kills the warrior with his club. When a rock is rolled down the cliff to
swamp it, Kana stops it with his hand and slips a small stone under to
hold it up. Niheu meanwhile climbs the cliff, enters the house Halehuki,
seizes Hina and makes off with her. But Hina has told her new lover that
Niheu's strength lies, in his hair, so Kolea and Ulili fly after and lay
hold of the intruder's hair. Niheu releases Hina and returns
unsuccessful. Kana next tries his skill. He stretches upward, but the
hill rises also until he is spun out into a mere cobweb and is famishing
with hunger. Niheu advises him to lean over to Hawaii that his
grandmother may feed him. After three days, this advice reaches his ear
and he bends over Haleakala mountain on Maui, where the groove remains
to this day, and puts his head in at the door of his grandmother's house
in Hawaii, where he is fed until he
