the island faces
the wind; but the ku-ulas are located on the seashore, as is also
the one at Honuaula, where it is covered over by the lava flow.

Thus was performed the good work of Aiai in establishing ku-ula
stations and fish stones continued all around the island of Maui. It
is also said that he visited Kahoolawe and established a ku-ula at
Hakioawa, though it differs from the others, being built on a high
bluff overlooking the sea, somewhat like a temple, by placing stones
in the form of a square, in the middle of which was left a space
wherein the fishermen of that island laid their first fish caught,
as a thank offering. Awa and kapa were also placed there as offerings
to the fish deities.

An idea prevails with some people that the ko'a of Kamohoalii, the
king shark of Kahoolawe, is on this island, but if all the stories
told of it be examined there will be found no reference to a ko'a of
his on this island.

From Kahoolawe, Aiai next went to Lanai, where he started fishing
for _aku_ (bonito) at Cape Kaunolu, using his pearl Kahuoi. This is
the first case known of fishing for aku with pearl from the land,
as it is a well known fact that this fish is caught only in deep sea,
far from shore. In the story of Kaneapua it is shown that he is the
only one who had fished for aku at the Cape of Kaunolu, where it was
started by Aiai.

From Kaunolu, Aiai went to Kaena Cape, where at a place close to
Paomai, was a little sandy beach now known as Polihua. Here he
took a stone and carved a figure on it, then carried and placed
it on the sandy beach, and called on his parents. While making his
incantations the stone moved toward the sea and disappeared under
the water. His incantations finished, the stone reappeared and
moved toward him till it reached the place where it had been laid;
whereupon it was transformed into a turtle, and gave the name of
Polihua to that beach. This work of Aiai on the island of Lanai was
the first introduction of the turtle in the seas of Hawaii, and also
originated the habit of the turtle of going up the beach to lay its
eggs, then returning to the sea.

After making the circuit of Lanai he went over to Molokai, landing at
Punakou and travelled along the shore till he reached Kaunakakau. At
this place he saw spawns of mullet, called Puai-i, right near the
shore, which he kicked with his foot, landing them on the sand. This
practice of kicking fish with the feet is carried on to this time
