chiefess Kikekaala falls in love with him. Meanwhile the
seduced wife has overheard his wonderful singing and her love is
restored. When his new mistress gives a _kilu_ singing match, she is
present, and when Halemano, after singing eight chants commemorating
their life of love together, goes off with the new enchantress, she
tries in vain to win him back by chanting songs which in turn deride the
girl and recall herself to her lover. He soon wearies of the girl and
escapes from her to Kauai, where his old love follows him. But they do
not agree. Kamalalawalu leaves for Oahu, where she becomes wife to
Waiahole at Kualoa. Two Hawaii chiefs, Huaa and Kuhukulua, come with a
fleet of 8,000 canoes, make great slaughter at Waiahole, and win the
beauty of Puna for their own.
2. UWEUWELEKEHAU
Olopana, king of Kauai, has decreed that his daughter, Luukia, shall
marry none but Uweuwelekehau, the son of Ku and Hina in Hilo, and that
he shall be known when he comes by his chiefly equipment, red canoe, red
sails, etc. Thunder, lightning, and floods have heralded this child's
birth, and he is kept under the chiefly taboo. One day he goes to the
Kalopulepule River to sail a boat; floods wash him out to sea; and in
the form of a fish he swims to Kauai, is brought to Luukia and, changing
into a man, becomes her lover. When Olopana hears this, he banishes the
two to Mana, where only the gods dwell. These supply their needs,
however, and the country becomes so fertile that the two steal the
hearts of the people with kindness, and all go to live at Mana. Finally
Olopana recognizes his son-in-law and they become king and queen of
Kauai, plant the coconut grove at Kaunalewa, and build the temple of
Lolomauna.
3. LAUKIAMANUIKAHIKI
Makiioeoe, king of Kuaihelani, has an amour with Hina on Kauai and,
returning home, leaves with Hina his whale-tooth necklace and feather
cloak to recognize the child by, and bids that his daughter be sent to
him with the full equipment of a chief. Meanwhile he prepares a bathing
pool, plants a garden, and taboos both for his daughter's arrival.
Laukiamanuikahiki is abused by her supposed father, and, discovering the
truth, starts out under her mother's direction to find her real father.
With the help of her grandmother she reaches Kuaihelani. Here she bathes
in the taboo pool and plucks the taboo flowers. She is about to be slain
for this act when her aunt, in the form of an owl, proclaims h
