petuated and his fame established all over the land.

The first _ko'a ia_ (fishing ground, or station) where Aiai measured
the depth of the sea is near Aleamai, his birthplace, and is called
Kapukaulua, where he hooked and killed the eel Koona. It is a few miles
from the shore to the southeast of the rocky islet called Alau. The
second station he established was at a spot about a mile from Haneoo
and Hamoa which was for the kala, palani, nanue, puhi, and ula. These
varieties of fish are not caught by nets, or with the hook, but in
baskets which are filled with bait and let down in the deep sea.

The third station, which he named Koauli, was located out in the deep
sea for the deep sea fishes, the depth ranging about two hundred
fathoms. This is the ko'a that fishermen have to locate by certain
shore bearings, lest a mistake be made as to the exact spot and the
bottom be found rocky and the hooks entangle in the coral. In all the
stations Aiai located there are no coral ledges where the fisherman's
hook would catch, or the line be entangled; and old Hawaiians commended
the skill of such locations, believing that the success of Aiai's
work was due to his father's influence as an ocean deity.

At one time Aiai went over to the bay of Wananalua, the present
port of Hana, with its noted hill of Kauiki and the sandy beach
of Pueokahi. Here he made and placed a ku-ula, and also placed
a fish stone in the cliff of Kauiki whereon is the ko'a known as
Makakiloia. And the people of Hana give credit to this stone for
the frequent appearance of the akule, oio, moi, and other fishes in
their waters.

Aiai's good work did not stop at this point; proceeding to Honomaele
he picked up three pebbles at the shore and, going into the sea,
out beyond the breaking surf, he placed them there. In due time these
three pebbles gathered others together and made a regular ridge; and
when this was accomplished, the aweoweo gathered from the far ocean
to this ridge of pebbles for rest; whereupon the people came with net,
hook, and line, and caught them as they desired. The writer witnessed
this in 1845 with his own eyes. This ko'a for aweoweo is still there,
but difficult to locate, from the fact that all the old residents
are gone--either dead or moved away.

He next went over to Waiohue, Koolau, where he placed a stone on
a sharp rocky islet, called Paka, whereon a few puhala grow. It is
claimed that during the season of the kala, they come in
