n to see his child, Kaulanapokii sings an
incantation to the rains and seas, the _ie_ and _maile_ vines, to block
the house. Thus the chief is killed. Then Kaulanapokii sings an
incantation to the various fires burning her brothers' flesh, to tell
her where their bones are concealed. With the bones she brings her
brothers to life, and they all return to Kona, abandoning "the proud
land of Kohala and its favorite wind, the Aeloa."

PUPUHULUENA

The spirits have potatoes, yam, and taro at Kalae Point, Kau, but the
Kohala people have none. Pupuhuluena goes fishing from Kohala off
Makaukiu, and the fishes collect under his canoe. As he sails he leaves
certain kinds of fish as he goes until he comes just below Kalae. Here
Ieiea and Poopulu, the fishermen of Makalii, have a dragnet. By oiling
the water with chewed _kukui_ nut, he calms it enough to see the fishes
entering their net, and this art pleases the fishermen. By giving them
the nut he wins their friendship, hence when he goes ashore, one prompts
him with the names of the food plants which are new to him. Then he
stands the spirits on their heads, so shaming them that they give him
the plants to take to Kohala.

HIKU AND KAWELU[1]

The son of Keaauolu and Lanihau, who live in Kaumalumalu, Kona, once
sends his arrow, called Puane, into the hut of Kawelu, a chiefess of
Kona. She falls violently in love with the stranger who follows to seek
it, and will not let him depart. He escapes, and she dies of grief for
him, her spirit descending to Milu. Hiku, hearing of her death,
determines to fetch her thence. He goes out into mid-ocean, lets down a
_koali_ vine, smears himself with rancid _kukui_ oil to cover the smell
of a live person, and lowers himself on another vine. Arrived in the
lower world, he tempts the spirits to swing on his vines. At last he
catches Kawelu, signals to his friends above, and brings her back with
him to the upper world. Arrived at the house where the body lies, he
crowds the spirit in from the feet up. After some days the spirit gets
clear in. Kawelu crows like a rooster and is taken up, warmed, and
restored.
