Wahiawa, to the
place called Kukaniloko.[7]

All the days that Laieikawai was at Waiapuka a rainbow arch was there
constantly, in rain or calm, yet no one understood the nature of this
rainbow, but such signs as attend a chief were always present wherever
the twins were guarded.

Just at this time Hulumaniani was making a tour of Kauai in his
character as the great seer of Kauai, and when he reached the summit of
Kalalea he beheld the rainbow arching over Oahu; there he remained 20
days in order to be sure of the nature of the sign which he saw. By
that time the seer saw clearly that it was the sign of a great
chief--this rainbow arch and the two ends of a rainbow encircled in dark
clouds.

Then the seer made up his mind to go to Oahu to make sure about the sign
which he saw. He left the place and went to Anahola to bargain for a
boat to go to Oahu, but he could not hire a boat to go to Oahu. Again
the seer made a tour of Kauai; again he ascended Kalalea and saw again
the same sign as before, just the same as at first; then he came back to
Anahola.

While the seer was there he heard that Poloula owned a canoe at Wailua,
for he was chief of that place, and he desired to meet Poloula to ask
the chief for a canoe to go to Oahu.

When Hulumaniani met Poloula he begged of him a canoe to go to Oahu.
Then the canoe and men were given to him. That night when the canoe star
rose they left Kauai, 15 strong, and came first to Kamaile in Waianae.

Before the seer sailed, he first got ready a black pig, a white fowl,
and a red fish.

On the day when they reached Waianae the seer ordered the rowers to wait
there until he returned from making the circuit of the island.

Before the seer went he first climbed clear to the top of Maunalahilahi
and saw the rainbow arching at Koolauloa, as he saw it when he was on
Kalalea.

He went to Waiapuka, where Laieikawai was being guarded, and saw no
place there set off for chiefs to dwell in. Now, just as the seer
arrived, Waka had vanished into that place where Laieikawai was
concealed.

As the seer stood looking, he saw the rippling of the water where Waka
had dived. Then he said to himself: "This is a strange thing. No wind
ripples the water on this pool. It is like a person bathing, who has
hidden from me." After Waka had been with Laieikawai she returned, but
while yet in the water she saw someone sitting above on the bank, so she
retreated, for she thought it was Kahauokapaka, t
