sail to Lanai, a certain woman came
with her daughter, but I could not see plainly the daughter's face. But
while we were talking the girl unveiled her face. Behold! I saw a girl
of incomparable beauty who rivaled all the daughters of the chiefs of
Molokai."

When the chief heard these words he said, "If she is as good looking as
my daughter, then she is beautiful indeed."

At this saying of the chief, the man begged that the chiefess be shown
to him, and Kaulaailehua, the daughter of the chief, was brought
thither. Said the man, "Your daughter must be in four points more
beautiful than she is to compare with that other."

Replied the chief, "She must be beautiful indeed that you scorn our
beauty here, who is the handsomest girl in Molokai."

Then the man said fearlessly to the chief, "Of my judgment of beauty I
can speak with confidence."[12]

As the man was talking with the chief, the seer remained listening to
the conversation; it just came to him that this was the one whom he was
seeking.

So the seer moved slowly toward him, got near, and seized the man by the
arm, and drew him quietly after him.

When they were alone, the seer asked the man directly, "Did you know
that girl before about whom you were telling the chief?"

The man denied it and said, "No; I had never seen her before; this was
the very first time; she was a stranger to me."

So the seer thought that this must be the person he was seeking, and he
questioned the man closely where they were living, and the man told him
exactly.

After the talk, he took everything that he had prepared for sacrifice
when they should meet and departed.

Chapter III

When the seer set out after meeting that man, he went first up Kawela;
there he saw the rainbow arching over the place which the man had
described to him; so he was sure that this was the person he was
following.

He went to Kaamola, the district adjoining Keawanui, where Laieikawai
and her companion were awaiting the paddler. By this time it was very
dark; he could not see the sign he saw from Kawela; but the seer slept
there that night, thinking that at daybreak he would see the person he
was seeking.

That night, while the seer was sleeping at Kaamola, then came the
command of Kapukaihaoa to Laieikawai in a dream, just as he had directed
them at Malelewaa.

At dawn they found a canoe sailing to Lanai, got on board, and went and
lived for some time at Maunalei.

After Laieikawai
