,
but only at that locality. Aiai continued on along the Kona side
of Molokai, examining its fishing grounds and establishing ku-ulas
till he got to Halawa. At the Koolau side of the island he stopped at
Wailau and saw the cave of the eel Koona that went to Hana and stole
the fish from his father's pond, and the cause of all the trouble
that befell his parents and himself.

When Aiai landed at Wailau he saw that both sides of the valley
were covered with men, women, and children engaged in closing up the
stream and diverting its water to another course, whereby they would
be enabled to catch oopu and opae. The water being low, the gourds
of some of the people were full from their catch.

Aiai noticed their wanton method of fishing, whereby all oopus
and opaes were caught without thought of any reservation for their
propagation; therefore he called on his parents to take them all
away. The prayer was granted, for suddenly they all disappeared;
those in the water went up the stream to a place called Koki, while
those in the gourds were turned to lizards which scampered out and
ran all over the rocks. The people were much surprised at this change
and felt sorely disappointed at the loss of their food supply.

On account of his regard for a certain lad of that place, named Kahiwa,
he showed him the place of the opaes to be up the precipitous cliff,
Koki. The youth was attentive to the direction of Aiai and going there
he found the oopus and opaes as stated, as they are to this day. That
is what established the noted saying of the old people of that land:
"Kokio of Wailau is the ladder of the opae." It is also known as the
"Pali of Kahiwa."

When Aiai left Wailau he showed this lad the ku-ula and the fish
station in the sea he had located there, at the same distance as that
rocky island known as Mokapu. He went also to Pelekunu, Waikolu and
Kalawao, even to Kalaupapa, the present home of the lepers. At the
latter place he left a certain fish stone. That is the reason fish
constantly gather there even to this day. He also went to Hoolehua and
so on as far as _Ka lae o ka ilio_ (the dog's forehead) and _Ka lae o
ka laau_. Between these two capes in the sea is a station established
by Aiai, where a tree grew out from under a rock, Ekaha by name. It
is a hardwood tree, but the trunk and also the branches are without
leaves. This place is a great haunt for fishermen with their hooks.

Aiai then came to Oahu, first landing a
