scanty supply of awa. He said: "Pour the awa back into
the bowl and divide into three." This they did and at once shared
their meal with their guest.

After supper Kaneaukai said to the two old men, "Go to Keawanui and
you will get fish enough for the present." He then disappeared, and
the fishermen went as instructed and obtained three fishes; one they
gave to an old sorceress who lived near by, and the other two they
kept for themselves.

Soon after this there was a large school of fish secured by the
fishermen of Mokuleia. So abundant were the fish that after salting
all they could, there was enough to give away to the neighbors;
and even the dogs had more than they desired.

Leaving the Mokuleia people to the enjoyment of their unusual
supply of fish, we will turn to the abode of two kahunas, who were
also fishermen, living on the south side of Waimea Valley, Oahu. One
morning, being out of fish, they went out into the harbor to try their
luck, and casting their net they caught up a calcareous stone about as
large as a man's head, and a pilot fish. They let the pilot fish go,
and threw the stone back into the sea. Again they cast their net and
again they caught the stone and the pilot fish; and so again at the
third haul. At this they concluded that the stone was a representative
of some god. The elder of the two said: "Let us take this stone ashore
and set it up as an idol, but the pilot fish we will let go." So they
did, setting it up on the turn of the bluff on the south side of the
harbor of Waimea. They built an inclosure about it and smoothed off
the rocky bluff by putting flat stones from the immediate neighborhood
about the stone idol thus strangely found.

About ten days after the finding of the stone idol the two old kahunas
were sitting by their grass hut in the dusk of the evening, bewailing
the scarcity of fish, when Kaneaukai himself appeared before them
in the guise of a young man. He told them that they had done well in
setting up his stone image, and if they would follow his directions
they would have a plentiful supply of fish. Said he, "Go to Mokuleia,
and you will find my wooden idol; bring it here and set it up alongside
of my stone idol." But they demurred, as it was a dark night and there
were usually quicksands after a freshet in the Kamananui River. His
answer was, "Send your grandsons." And so the two young men were sent
to get the wooden idol and were told where they could find it.
