nswered, and said, "Thy younger brother is hungry with
watching, and seeing thy feet grow plump, he has cut off one of them;
therefore this numbness."

Kana, having at last grown strong and fat, prepared to wage war again
upon Kapeepeekauila. Food was collected in abundance from Waipio, and
when it was prepared, they embarked again in their canoes and came
back to Haupu, on Molokai. But his grandmother, Uli, had previously
instructed him to first destroy all the branches of the kamani tree
of Haupu. Then he showed himself, and began again to stretch upward
and tower above the bluff. Kapeepeekauila hastened again to trim
the branches of the kamani, that the bluff might grow as before;
but behold, they were all gone! It was the end; Kapeepeekauila was
at last vanquished. The victorious Kana recovered his sister, Mo-i,
restored to poor Hakalanileo his wife, Hina, and then, tearing down
the bluff of Haupu, kicked off large portions of it into the sea,
where they stand to this day, and are called "The Rocks of Kana."

KALELEALUAKA

PART I

Kaopele was born in Waipio, Hawaii. When born he did not breathe, and
his parents were greatly troubled; but they washed his body clean,
and having arrayed it in good clothes, they watched anxiously over
the body for several days, and then, concluding it to be dead, placed
it in a small cave in the face of the cliff. There the body remained
from the summer month of _Ikiki_ (July or August) to the winter month
of _Ikua_ (December or January), a period of six months.

At this time they were startled by a violent storm of thunder and
lightning, and the rumbling of an earthquake. At the same time appeared
the marvellous phenomenon of eight rainbows arching over the mouth
of the cave. Above the din of the storm the parents heard the voice
of the awakened child calling to them:

"Let your love rest upon me,
O my parents, who have thrust me forth,
Who have left me in the cavernous cliff,
Who have heartlessly placed me in the
Cliff frequented by the tropic bird!
O Waiaalaia, my mother!
O Waimanu, my father!
Come and take me!"

The yearning love of the mother earnestly besought the father to go
in quest of the infant; but he protested that search was useless,
as the child was long since dead. But, unable longer to endure a
woman's teasing, which is the same in all ages, he finally set forth
in high dudgeon, vow
