ird[16]; therefore, to-morrow, rise and go."
He awoke from sleep; it was only a dream, so he doubted and did not
sleep the rest of the night until morning.
And when it was day, in the early morning, as he was on Kauwiki, he saw
the flapping of the sail of a canoe down at Kaihalulu. He ran quickly
and came to the landing, and asked the man where the boat was going.
The man said, "It is going to Hawaii"; thereupon he entreated the man to
take him, and the latter consented.
The seer returned up Kauwiki and brought his luggage, the things he had
got ready for sacrifice.
When he reached the shore he first made a bargain with them: "You
paddlers, tell me what you expect of me on this trip; whatever you
demand, I will accede to; for I was not well treated by the men who
brought me here from Oahu, so I will first make a bargain with you men,
lest you should be like them."
The men promised to do nothing amiss on this trip, and the talk ended;
he boarded the canoe and set out.
On the way they landed first at Mahukona in Kohala, slept there that
night, and in the morning the seer left the paddlers, ascended to
Lamaloloa, and entered the temple of Pahauna,[17] an ancient temple
belonging to olden times and preserved until to-day.
Many days he remained there without seeing the sign he sought; but in
his character as seer he continued praying to his god as when he was on
Kauwiki, and in answer to the seer's prayer, he had again the same sign
that was shown to him on Kauwiki.
At this, he left the place and traversed Hawaii, starting from Hamakua,
and the journey lasted until the little pig he started with had grown
too big to be carried.
Having arrived at Hamakua, he dwelt in the Waipio Valley at the temple
of Pakaalana but did not stay there long.
The seer left that place, went to Laupahoehoe, and thence to
Kaiwilahilahi, and there remained some years.
Here we will leave the story of the seer's search. It will be well to
tell of the return of Kauakahialii to Kauai with Kailiokalauokekoa.[18]
As we know, Laieikawai is at Paliuli.
In the first part of the story we saw that Kapukaihaoa commanded Waka in
a dream to take Laieikawai to Paliuli, as the seer saw.
The command was carried out. Laieikawai dwelt at Paliuli until she was
grown to maidenhood.
When Kauakahialii and Kailiokalauokekoa returned to Kauai after their
meeting with the "beauty of Paliuli" there were gathered together the
high chiefs, th
