hilani was to hide his evil doings with Laielohelohe, for
Kahalaomapuana was the only one who could see things done in secret; and
she was a resolute girl, not one to give in. Kaonohiokala thought she
might disclose to Moanalihaikawaokele this evil doing; so he got his
sister away, and by his supernatural arts he made the lot fall to
Kahalaomapuana.

When his sister had gone, about the end of the second quarter of the
fifth year, he went away below to carry out his lustful design upon
Laielohelohe.

Not just at that time, but he made things right with Kekalukaluokewa by
putting him in Kahalaomapuana's place and the seer as his chief
counsellor.

Mailehaiwale was made governor on Kauai, Mailekaluhea on Oahu,
Mailelaulii on Maui and the other islands, Mailepakaha on Hawaii.

CHAPTER XXXII

When Kekalukaluokewa became head over the group, then Kaonohiokala sent
him to make a tour of the islands and perform the functions of a ruler,
and he put Laielohelohe in Kekalukaluokewa's place as his substitute.

And for this reason Kekalukaluokewa took his chief counsellor (the

Then Kaonohiokala came back down and sought the companionship of
Laielohelohe, but not just then was the sin committed.

When the two met, Kaonohiokala asked Laielohelohe to separate herself
from the rest, and at the high chief's command the princess's retainers
withdrew.

When Laielohelohe and Kaonohiokala were alone he said, "This is the
third year that I have desired you, for your beauty has grown and
overshadowed your sister's, Laieikawai's. Now at last my patience no
longer avails to turn away my passion from you."

"O my high one," said Laielohelohe, "how can you rid yourself of your
passion? And what does my high one see fit to do?"

"Let us know one another," said Kaonohiokala, "this is the only thing
to be done for me."

Said Laielohelohe, "We can not touch one another, my high one, for the
one who brought me up from the time I was born until I found my husband,
he has strictly bound me not to defile my flesh with anyone; and,
therefore, my high one, it is his to grant your wish."

When Kaonohiokala heard this, t
