is retainers and he had heard also of
Laielohelohe's displeasure.

Now the vagabond, Aiwohikupua, was one of the chief's retainers, he was
the one who heard these things. And when he heard Laielohelohe's reason
for setting sail to seek her husband, then he said to the palace guard,
"If Kaonohiokala returns again, and asks for Laielohelohe, tell him she
is ill, then he will not come back, for she would pollute Kaonohiokala
and our parents; when the uncleanness is over, then the deeds of Venus
may be done."

When Kaonohiokala came again and questioned the guard then he was told
as Aiwohikupua had said, and he went back up again.

CHAPTER XXXIII

In Chapter XXXII of this story the reason was told why Laielohelohe went
in search of her husband.

Now, she followed him from Kauai to Oahu and to Maui; she came to
Lahaina, heard Kekalukaluokewa was in Hana, having returned from Hawaii.

She sailed by canoe and came to Honuaula; there they heard that
Hinaikamalama was Kekalukaluokewa's wife; the Honuaula people did not
know that this was his wife.

When Laielohelohe heard this news, they hurried forward at once and
came to Kaupo and Kipahulu. There was substantiated the news they heard
first at Honuaula, and there they beached the canoe at Kapohue, left it,
went to Waiohonu and heard that Kekalukaluokewa and Hinaikamalama had
gone to Kauwiki, and they came to Kauwiki; Kekalukaluokewa and his
companion had gone on to Honokalani; many days they had been on the way.

On their arrival at Kauwiki, that afternoon, Laielohelohe asked a native
of the place how much farther it was to Honokalani, where
Kekalukaluokewa and Hinaikamalama were staying.

Said the native, "You can arrive by sundown."

They went on, accompanied by the natives, and at dusk reached
Honokalani; there Laielohelohe sent the natives to see where the chiefs
were staying.

The natives went and saw the chiefs drinking _awa_, and returned and
told them.

Then Laielohelohe sent the natives again to go and see the chiefs,
saying, "You go and find out where the chiefs sleep, then return to us."

And at her command, the natives went and found out where the chiefs
slept, and returned and told Laielohelohe.

Then for the first time she told the natives that she was
Kekalukaluokewa's married wife.

Before Laielohelohe's meeting with Kekalukaluokewa he had heard of her
falling into sin with Kaonohiokala; he heard it from one of
Kauakahialii's men, the
