ept.

While Hauailiki slept, Laieikawai came to him in a dream, and they met
together; and on Hauailiki's starting from sleep, behold! it was a
dream.

Hauailiki slept again; again he had the dream as at first; four nights
and four days the dream was repeated to Hauailiki, and his mind was
troubled.

On the fifth night after the dream had come to Hauailiki so repeatedly,
after dark, he arose and ascended to the uplands of Paliuli without his
comrade's knowledge.

In going up, he did not follow the road the two had taken before, but
close to Mailehaiwale he took a new path and escaped the eyes of the
princess's guardians.

When he got outside the chief-house Kahalaomapuana was fast asleep, so
he tiptoed up secretly, unfastened the covering at the entrance to the
house, which was wrought with feather work, and behold! he saw
Laieikawai resting on the wings of birds, fast asleep also.

When he had entered and stood where the princess was sleeping, he caught

therefore I have come up here again to fulfill what was done in the
dream."

Laieikawai said, "Return; what you say is no concern of mine; for the
same thing has come to me in a dream and it happened to me as it
happened to you, and what is that to me? Go! return!"

As Kahalaomapuana slept, she heard low talking in the house, and she
started up from sleep and called out, "O Laieikawai, who is the
confidant who is whispering to you?"

When she heard the questioner, Laieikawai ceased speaking.

Soon Kahalaomapuana arose and entered the house, and behold! Hauailiki
was in the house with Laieikawai.

Kahalaomapuana said, "O Hauailiki, arise and go; you have no right to
enter here; I told you before that you had no business in this place,
and I say the same thing to-night as on that first night, so arise and
