hoalii. There he was thrown into a dark place,
a pit under ground, in which many persons were confined for various
crimes. Whilst confined in this dark place he told his companions to
dream dreams and tell them to him. The night following four of the
prisoners had dreams. The first dreamed that he saw a ripe _ohia_
(native apple), and his spirit ate it; the second dreamed that he saw
a ripe banana, and his spirit ate it; the third dreamed that he saw a
hog, and his spirit ate it; and the fourth dreamed that he saw _awa_,
pressed out the juice, and his spirit drank it. The first three dreams,
pertaining to food, Waikelenuiaiku interpreted unfavorably, and told
the dreamers they must prepare to die. The fourth dream, pertaining to
drink, he interpreted to signify deliverance and life. The first three
dreamers were slain according to the interpretation, and the fourth
was delivered and saved. Afterward this last dreamer told Kamohoalii,
the king of the land, how wonderful was the skill of Waikelenuiaiku in
interpreting dreams, and the king sent and delivered him from prison
and made him a principal chief in his kingdom."

Judge Fornander alludes to this legend, giving the name,
however, _Aukelenui-a-Iku_, and adding to it the account of
the hero's journey to the place where the water of life was
kept (_ka-wai-ola-loa-a-Kane_), his obtaining it and therewith
resuscitating his brothers, who had been killed by drowning some
years before. Another striking similarity is that furnished to Judge
Fornander in the legend of _Ke-alii-waha-nui_: "He was king of the
country called Honua-i-lalo. He oppressed the Menehune people. Their
god Kane sent Kane-apua and Kaneloa, his elder brother, to bring the
people away, and take them to the land which Kane had given them, and
which was called _Ka aina momona a Kane_, or _Ka one lauena a Kane_,
and also _Ka aina i ka haupo a Kane_. The people were then told to
observe the four Ku days in the beginning of the month as _Kapu-hoano_
(sacred or holy days), in remembrance of this event, because they
thus arose (_Ku_) to depart from that land. Their offerings on the
occasion were swine and goats." The narrator of the legend explains
that formerly there were goats without horns, called _malailua_,
on the slopes of Mauna Loa on Hawaii, and that they were found there
up to the time of Kamehameha I. The legend further relates that after
leaving the land of Honualalo, the people came to the _Kai-ula-a-
