the beach, and setting the baskets therein, he called on his parents
for hinaleas. As soon as he had finished, the fish were seen coming in
such numbers as to fill the pool, and still they came. Aiai now told
his friend to go and fetch his parents and relatives to get fish,
and to bring baskets with which to take home a supply; they should
have the first pick, and the owners of the baskets should have the
next chance. The messenger went with haste and brought his relatives
as directed. Aiai then took two fishes and gave them to his friend to
place on the ko'a they had established at Lehoula for the ku-ula. He
also told him that before the setting of the sun of that day they would
hear that King Kamohoalii of Hana was dead, choked and strangled to
death by the fish. These prophetic words of Aiai came true.

After Aiai had made his offering, his friend's parents came to where
the fish were gathering and were told to take all they desired,
which they did, returning home happy for the liberal supply obtained
without trouble. The owners of the baskets were then called and told
to take all the fish they wished for themselves and for the King. When
these people saw the great supply they were glad and much surprised
at the success of these two boys. The news of the reappearing of the
fish spread through the district, and the people flocked in great
numbers and gathered hinaleas to their satisfaction, and returned to
their homes with rejoicing. Some of those who gave Aiai the baskets
returned with their bundles of fish to the King. When he saw so many
of those he had longed for he became so excited that he reached out
and picked one up and put it in his mouth, intending to eat it; but
instead the fish slipped right into his throat and stuck there. Many
tried to reach and take it out, but were unable, and before the sun
set that day Kamohoalii, the King of Hana, died, being choked and
strangled to death by the fish. Thus the words of Aiai, the son of
Ku-ula, proved true.

By the death of the King of Hana the revenge was complete. The
evil-doer from Molokai, and those who obeyed the King's orders on
the day Ku-ula's house was fired, met retribution, and Aiai thus won
a victory over all his father's enemies.

After living for a time at Hana Aiai left that place and went among
the different islands of the group establishing fishing ko'as (_ko'a
aina aumakua_). He was the first to measure the depth of the sea to
locate these fi
