w I put off the match which the master of ceremonies has
chosen. But let me explain my object in coming so far as Kauai. That
fellow there, Aiwohikupua, is my reason for coming to this land, because
I heard that he was married to Poliahu; therefore I came here to see how
he had lied to me. For that man there came to Hana on Maui while we were
surf riding. The two of them were the last to surf, and when they were
through, they came home to play _konane_ with me. He wanted to play
_konane_. We set up the board again; I asked what he would bet; he
pointed to his double canoe. I said I did not like his bet; then I told
the bet I liked, our persons; if he beat me at _konane_, then I would
become his and do everything that he told me to do, and the same if he
lost to me, then he was to do for me as I to him; and we made this
bargain. And in the game in a little while my piece blocked the game,
and he was beaten. I said to him, 'You have lost; you ought to stay with
me as we have wagered.' Said that fellow, 'I will wait to carry out the
bet until I return, from a touring trip. Then I will fulfill the bet, O

to this day.

Soon after Hinaikamalama's speech the games began again; the game was
between Aiwohikupua and Makaweli.

Then the master of ceremonies stood up and touched Hauailiki and
Hinaikamalama with the wand, and Hauailiki arose and Hinaikamalama also.
This time Hinaikamalama said to Hauailiki, "O chief, we have been
matched by the sport master as is usual in this game. But I must delay
my consent; when Aiwohikupua has consented to carry out our vow, after
that, at the chief's next festival night, this night's match shall be
fulfilled." Then Hauailiki was very well pleased.

And because of Hinaikamalama's words, Aiwohikupua took Hinaikamalama to
carry out their vow.

That very night as they rested comfortably in the fulfillment of their
bargain, Hinaikamalama grew numb with cold, for Poliahu had spread her
cold snow mantle over her enemy.

Then Hinaikamalama rais
