grew beyond what he had seen before, and
his sinful lust increased mightily, but by his nature as a child of god
he persisted in checking his lust; for perhaps a minute the lust flew
from him, then it clung to him once more.

In the fifth year, at the end of the first quarter, Kaonohiokala went
away to do his work below.

At that time virtue departed far from the mind of Kaonohiokala and he
fell into sin.

Now at this time, when he met his sisters, the prophet and his _punalua_
and their wife (Laielohelohe), Kaonohiokala began to redistribute the
land, so he called a fresh council.

And to carry out his evil purpose, he transferred his sisters to be
guards over the land called Kealohilani, and arranged that they should
live with Mokukelekahiki and have charge of the land with him.

When some of his sisters saw how much greater the honor was to become
chiefs in a land they had never visited, and serve with Mokukelekahiki
there, they agreed to consent to their brother's plan.

But Kahalaomapuana would not consent to return to Kealohilani, for she
cared more for her former post of honor than to return to Kealohilani.

And in refusing, she spoke to her brother as follows: "My high one, as
to your sending us to Kealohilani, let them go and I will remain here,
living as you first placed me; for I love the land and the people and am
accustomed to the life; and if I stay below here and you above and they
between, then all will be well, just as we were born of our mother; for
you broke the way, your little sisters followed you, and I stopped it
up; that was the end, and so it was."

Now he knew that his youngest sister had spoken well; but because of
Kaonohiokala's great desire to get her away so that she would not detect
his mischievous doings, therefore he cast lots upon his sisters, and the
one upon whom, the lot rested must go back to Kealohilani.

Said Kaonohiokala to his sisters, "Go and pull a grass flower; do not go
together, every one by herself, then the oldest return and give it to
me, in the order of your birth, and the one who has the longest grass
stem, she shall go to Kealohilani."

Every one went separately and returned as they had been told.

The first one went and pulled one about two inches in length, and the
second one pulled and broke her flower perhaps three inches and a half;
and the third, she pulled her grass stem about two inches long; and the
fourth of them, hers was about one inch long; an
