from the
ocean, attracted to this locality by the power of this stone. They
continue on to Mokumana, a cape between Keanae and Wailuanui. They
come in gradually for two days, and on the third day of their reaching
the coast, at the pali of Ohea, is the time and place to surround
them with nets. In olden times while the fishermen were hauling
in their nets full of kala into the canoes, the akule and oio also
came in numbers at the same time, making it impossible to catch all
in one day; and as there were so many gathered in the net it took
them a day and a night before they could care for their draught,
which yielded so many more than could be made use of that they were
fed to the pigs and dogs. The kala of Ohea is noted for its fatness
and fine flavor. Few people are now living there, and the people who
knew all about this are dead; but the stone that Aiai placed on that
little island at Waiohue is still there.

Aiai stayed there a few days and then returned to Hana and lived at
his birthplace quite a length of time till he was a man grown. During
this period he was teaching his art of fishing in all its forms;
and when he was satisfied the people were proficient, he prepared to
visit other places for like service. But before leaving, Aiai told
his friend to go and kill the big _hee kupua_ (wonderful octopus)
in the deep sea, right out of Wailuanui, Koolau, and he consented.

When the canoes were made ready and drawn to the beach and the people
came prepared to start, Aiai brought the _hokeo_ (fishing gourd),
where the _leho_ (kauri shell) that Ku-ula his father gave him was
kept, and gave it to his friend. This shell is called _lehoula,_
and the locality at Hana of that name was called after it.

Then the canoes and people sailed away till they got out along the
palis near Kopiliula, where they rested. Aiai was not with the party,
but overlooked their operations from the pali of Puhiai. While they
rested, preparation for the lowering of the leho was being made,
and when ready, Aiai's friend called on Ku-ula and Hina for the
assistance of their wonderful powers. When he was through, he took
off the covering of the gourd and took out the leho, which had rich
beautiful colors like the rainbow, and attaching it to the line, he
lowered it into the sea, where it sent out rays of a fiery light. The
hee was so attracted by its radiance that it came out of its hole and
with its great arms, which were as long and large as a
